Fashion inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes, right? Why not find some in everybodies' favorite children's books!
The Star Bellied Sneetches
Though Star did, in fact, have a star tattooed on her adorably rounded tummy, she didn't think less of those people who didn't have stars upon thars. She enjoyed showing her many tattoos to the kiddos that she babysat and making the star dance by utilizing some of the moves she'd learned in belly dancing class. However, this habit came to an abrupt end when a mum discovered that the children had taken to drawing body art on each other with permanent markers.
The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins
Though Bertie certainly had a thing for hats, she thought it was a bit unfair when her mother accused her of having 500. For Pete's sake! She had 50! At most! What had started off as a way to cover up a regretable set of bangs had grown into her go-to accessory. Bertie had hats for every occasion - the races, the beach, the opening of a new pet store. Really, a girl could should never be underdressed, should she?
Daisy-Head Mayzie
Mayzie was the sort of girl who constantly wore strange things in her hair - feathers, flowers, forks, licorice sticks. Her friends and classmates loved to pretend that they needed something, to plaintively enquire if she happened to have an extra pen or a stick of gum hidden somewhere in her mass of curls. More often than not, she did. Her mother had long since given up trying to make Mayzie wash her hair, as these requests were generally met with a wink and knowing tug of the earlobe.
The Cat In The Hat
Everyone knew that Catherine was a force to be reckoned with. She brought her two poorly trained long-haired Chihuahaus (Thing 1 and Thing 2) with her where ever she went and would laugh uproariously while they humped your leg and ate your Jimmy Choos. She was the sort of friend you'd invite over to brighten up a rainy day, but not to dinner with your grandparents. However, her bad bahavior was continuously forgiven as she was too damn cute to stay mad at.

LOVE the scarf from the Cat in the hat montage.
I actually had a babysitter who was just like Star when I was little! Luckily for me my mum is cool with tattoos, so we got to keep her (and watch her shoot juice out of her chin piercing!) She was possibly the coolest person I ever met...
Love Dr Suess, the Lorax is definitely my favourite book.
