Hello there beautiful readers,I have a major girl-crush and I have for awhile actually. So let me introduce you to one of my fictional style icons - Veronica Mars, a 17-year-old sarcastic psuedo-private investigator from the elitist and cutthroat town of Neptune, California. A once care-free, normal teenager running with the popular crowd, perfect boyfriend and fabulous best friend in hand. Until Veronica's best friend Lily is brutally murdered and her father accuses Lily's father, the richest and most well-loved man in Neptune of her murder. Veronica's mother walks out, her friends abandon her, and Veronica makes the change from high-school sweetheart to the bitter, snarky, badass and totally bitching girl I love, while trying unravel the mystery behind Lily's murder.
And of course, she does this while wearing some majorly kick-ass threads. Veronica always manages to walk the line between tough and sexy - while accessorising with her amazing camera, and various other spy gadgets. Her outfits are stylish, yet practical. A good mix when your days may include chasing down fugitives, finding a class mates missing father who is now living as a woman, or dealing with the normal rigours of high school and teenagerdom. But what really does it for me is her attitude. No matter what people say about her, or what people do Veronica doesn't give a crap. She's insanely intelligent, freakishly witty, incredibly gorgeous and has lots of crazy connections in low places - like her buddy Earl down at the impound lot. What's not to love about a girl like that?
Veronica Mars got me through my teenage years, all the way back in 2004, and I don't think I'm going to get over this crush anytime soon. I will stop short of dying my hair blonde and becoming a private investigator - I'll keep the private investigator part for my own imagination. What fictional characters are pushing your style buttons this week?
Until next time, xo.
