Inspired By: Willow Rosenberg

It's been a long time since I've been sartorially inspired by one of my favorite shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I posted about Buffy almost four years ago, but today, I'm inspired by her best friend, Willow Rosenberg, portrayed by Alyson Hannigan.

Willow's style evolved over the series, from juvenile and sort of dorky to much more adult and bohemian, but what stayed pretty consistent was her love of color.
