Book Outfits ~ Wine for Spanish Blameless by Gail Carriger

As I just blogged about on my Author blog, this here is my new cover for the Spanish edition of Blameless.


There is something very Spanish about it, perhaps the color pallet. Perhaps it is her profile. Perhaps it is the little lace gloves. Delving into my own wardrobe I uncovered the following items of clothing that might go with this book.







And here are some fun fashion items from around and about the interwebs to match . . .

  1. You have such a wide variety of clothing and accessories, Gail! I wish Microsoft would come up with a printer that also fashioned wearable clothes, lol!

    Book cover looks great. The gloves add a nice flair. Reading Timeless now!
