Shelley K. Wall | For All You Fashionistas

Thanks so much for hosting me today!

I wanted to talk about Caroline, the main character in my latest release, NEED ME. Sheโ€™s a courageous woman, full of spunk. That spunk put her into a life-threatening situation when she was fresh out of college and sheโ€™s curtailed her wild side into a fashion style that makes her look as spunky outside as she once was inside. I thought it would be fun to show a few pictures that fit the personality I went for in her character. These are the types of things Caroline wears on a daily basis (the bolder the better).

Caroline would likely substitute a good pair of combat boots for heels, though,
she hates heelsโ€ฆand sheโ€™d likely go for a very bold color accent either in her
hair or jewelry. She might even change out the leggings for an even brighter
pattern.

She wears short, spikey hair quite often. Hereโ€™re a few cuts that sheโ€™d definitely enjoy. The first picture is tamer and sheโ€™d probably only wear this in a professional setting. The latter fits her personality better and her dark hair would be even more dramatic.

This very accurately portrays what I see in Caroline.
Tough. Aggressive. Yet very feminine in a too hot to handle, sort of way.

The photos were taken from hair-salon and fashion websites and
represent the type of girl I see in Caroline. She doesnโ€™t like to shop so she
orders everything online. Etsy is her best friend though she spends only minutes
there as sheโ€™s frugal on fashion. The hair cut is done by the local barber
around the corner from her business. After all, who cuts better short styles
than a barber, right?

Want to learn more about Caroline? Read my new book, NEED ME, which just released. Read the first book, TEXT ME, too โ€“ she really livens things up for her business partner Abigail.

About NEED ME

Aspiring journalist Caroline Sanders doesnโ€™t have time for frat parties and college keggersโ€”not even when the gorgeous Roger Freeman climbs into her car unexpectedly one night on campus. The two are inexplicably drawn together but when Carolineโ€™s offered a prestigious internship that could lead to a job at The New York Times, she leaves Roger behind for more serious prospects. Six years later, back home and starting a new career as a florist, sheโ€™s shocked to run into Roger again. Heโ€™s never forgotten the girl who left him to find herself, though heโ€™s certainly tried. As the two begin seeing each other and grow closer, he finds it impossible to resist falling for her once more. What he doesnโ€™t know is that Carolineโ€™s life over the last few years has been filled with tragedy, and the adventurous and exciting woman he remembers is all but gone. Is Roger ready to risk his heart again, and is Caroline ready to trust him with her story?
