The Reasonably Prudent Law Student

I got this request from my buddy Alexis. Now, I don’t watch Fringe, so I have never heard of Astrid, but I loved the screencaps she sent me and was only too happy to fill this request. If you’ve got a request, too, feel free to email me. And now, introducing Astrid:

I wish I had some crazy rant/schpiel for this character. Or, hell, even the actress. But I have nothing. So I shall tell you about something that happened in kindergarten.

There was this little dark haired boy in another kindergarten section that I saw in the hall and afterschool just about every day, and I decided he was the most beautiful boy on the planet and that I was in love with him. I had no idea what ‘love’ was, really, but all I knew was, this boy was freaking AWESOME.

So after school ended, they’d line us up outside so that we could all get onto our buses. The pretty little dark haired boy always stood in the first bus line and I was always toward the end of the line, so one day I just decided, to hell with it, I was going to go over there to where he was. So I left my bus line and joined his, and stood by him and talked to him and then got on his bus.

I had no idea that this bus was somehow the ‘wrong’ bus, and it wouldn’t take me home. All I knew was I was sitting with the pretty dark haired boy and everything was fabulous.

Eventually one of my teachers noticed me and dragged me off the bus and put me on my own. I was so mad.

>:(

Stupid teachers. Being all nosy.

ANYWAY BACK TO ASTRID. Here’s the outfit Alexis liked.

And here is Astrid’s outfit for under $100.

Floral Print Chelsea Cardigan in Coral ………. $46.95
Broadway Bodyshaper Cami in Lilac ………. $14.95
Drew Plainweave High Rise Pants ………. $19.99
Pumps in Black ………. $17.50

Simple enough, yes?

I picked a floral printed cardigan with pretty, warm colors, and paired it with a lilac camisole that works with the purple in the sweater. The colors aren’t as warm as the ones in the screenshot, so I didn’t really feel like using brown pants and instead opted for these nice grey ones.

That left a wee tiny budget for shoes (um, do you know how hard it is to find heels for less than $18?!), so I went with these black ones, mainly for budget reasons. Go with brown, go with flats instead, whatever, but these worked with the outfit and my budget.

And there we have Astrid’s pretty printed sweater ensemble! :D
