The internet has brought forth many new ways of creating and promoting content. Thanks to the power of the web, amazing books are more available and well-known than ever before.

John Green, whether you know him from his successful Youtube channel or bestselling novels, has used the internet to become a major figure in popular culture. His books sell millions of copies and a few have already been immortalized in film. 

Green’s most well-known novel is probably his most recent, The Fault in Our Stars. We’ve done an inspiration article on this book, as well as a review of another popular Green novel, Paper Towns. Today, we’re going to be finding fashion inspiration in John Green’s lesser-known novels, as well as his public persona.

Green’s first novel, Looking for Alaska, is a heartbreaking, hilarious story about coming of age at an Alabama boarding school. The novel follows Miles, or “Pudge,” as he meets new friends that bring him outside of his comfort zone. One of these friends is a girl named Alaska, who Pudge finds he’s growing steady feelings for. The novel is super popular among young adult readers and is worth checking out if you haven’t read it.

For inspiration from Looking for Alaska, go outside your comfort zone however you can. If that means wearing a cute, flirty dress, or these strappy heels in the daytime, go for it! Swipe on a red lipstick for a daring beauty look. Finish off your adventurous look with gold rings and earrings.

Green’s novels often have the characters being active and moving from place to place, which I really enjoy. These are teens that go out camping and pranking, road tripping across the East Coast, and/or mystery-solving. For a look inspired by this sense of adventure, go for this sporty outfit.
