Fashion Book–Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

As I mentioned last week, I was reading Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for book club, and I was confused by the success of the trilogy. I confess–I’m still baffled and didn’t finish the book because I really didn’t like it at all. It’s dark and violent and I found the “action” and “suspense” completely boring. But this is from the girl who falls asleep during action movies and refuses to watch Law & Order: SVU, so perhaps I should have realized this book was not for me.

All of that being said, that doesn’t mean I am going to skip my fashion book. For this one, I obviously chose Lisbeth Salander, the eponymous title character. I found Lisbeth’s character extremely difficult to relate to and unrealistic, and I wanted to add some dimension to her monochrome wardrobe of black leather jacket and jeans, so I added a few tough pieces of bold jewelry.
