This post touches on two different topics: how to style a quirky graphic tee with wide-leg pants for summer and why Luna Lovegood happens to be my favorite fictional character.
These go hand-in-hand when you realize that my tee has Luna’s spectrespecs in addition to a mantra that both she and I find very important: “it’s okay to be different.” The Wizarding World, as a whole, is very special to me and has impacted my life for the better. Before I had even seen the movies (or read the books), I admired the courage it took for actress Evanna Lynch to be cast in the role of Luna. When I learned more about this special Hogwarts student, I immediately fell head over heels in love with her whimsical outlook on life, despite the hardships she faced. She immediately became my favorite fictional character (and I even named my cat after her).
When I saw that my favorite magical boutique, The Common Room Shop had released a Luna graphic tee, I knew I had to get my hands on it right away. It sold out immediately after the initial launch, but the day it was restocked, I was ready and waiting to make my purchase. It’s only available in select sizes at the moment, but follow the shop owner, Hallie, on Instagram because she is excellent about posting shop updates to the page!

3 Life Lessons I’ve Learned from Luna Lovegood
Being yourself is beautiful. Luna’s character can come across as a little bizarre to some, but I adore her. She’s not afraid to be herself and she embraces her uniqueness. One of my favorite quotes by her: “Being different isn’t a bad thing. It means you’re brave enough to be yourself.“
There’s nothing wrong with a little eccentricity. She believes in Nargles, wears Spectrespecs, reads The Quibbler upside down, and she never bats an eyelash at it (no matter how others look at her). “Don’t worry. You’re just as sane as I am,” she tells Harry, and gosh, if only we could all embrace our whimsy and wonder the way Luna does.
Always look for the positive. Despite the fact that Luna lost her mother as a child, and she’s seen some pretty gruesome things over the years, she maintains an air of positivity that’s utterly contagious. “Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end. If not always in the ways we expect,” she states. Basically, keep your head up, despite the odds!
How to Easily Style White Wide Leg Pants for the Summer
Don’t be intimidated by white pants – or wide leg pants, for that matter. This pair is spectacular. White pants are an excellent addition to a summer wardrobe, and as long as you test them out before purchasing to make sure they aren’t too sheer, you’ll be set. Don’t be afraid of wide leg bottoms either. They’re an awesome way to add flair to any ensemble.
Since my t-shirt was on the more casual side, I decided to dress it up easily with the wide leg pants and a pair of block heel sandals. Everything was incredibly comfortable and breezy – ideal for a hot summer day. You could also wear these bottoms with a button-up blouse or demure sleeveless top. There are endless possibilities!

Cute outfit!!! And I love the lessons as well. I never heard of the character but I want to learn more about her. Is this a show?
Stephanie Whitman says
Oh my goodness, you’ve been deprived – how sad! She’s a prominent character in Harry Potter. She’s introduced in the later books and she’s absolutely brilliant. You need to read the books and watch the movies! 🙂

I love how you’ve styled this outfit. I tried pants on like that and they didn’t work at all. Looks great!
Stephanie Whitman says
I think it’s important to try multiple brands and sizes to find the right fit. I mentioned how I had to do that in order to find the right pair as well 🙂

I do love how Luna Lovegood really embraces herself and life. She’s like a hidden role model. And I love anything that is wide-leg and I’m all about these pants!

She’s underrated, if you ask me. Everyone admires Hermione, and while I love me some Hermione, I feel as though Luna has SO much going for her that gets passed over too quickly! Also, you’re the wide leg pant QUEEN, so thank you!!!

It’s not necessarily well-known, but it should be! Hallie is amazing, and she’s so creative with her collections. She just launched a Narnia one as well, and I think she’s working on a Taylor Swift line. She’s got the most adorable pieces!
Lizzie says
I agree 100% with the lessons learned! And I adore your outfit! It’s perfect 🙂 Love the color palette so much!

Luna is truly a role-model in every sense of the word. And thank you! I love how it turned out. I’ll definitely be living in it all summer (and probably into autumn as well).
Kelly Diane says
This outfit reallt suits you. I love that t-shirt

That’s so kind of you! I’m glad it suits me, because it’s my new favorite, for sure!
Greta says
a tee and wide leg pants is such a fun combo! I’ve been buying so many graphic tees lately. They’re so fun to style!
Stephanie Whitman says
It definitely is. This is the first time I’ve experimented with wide leg pants, but I think they are SO cute with a tucked-in graphic tee.
Sarah Lindner says
Luna knows what’s up, lol. Love the outfit babe! xoxo, Sarah
Stephanie Whitman says
She certainly does! There’s a reason why I love her so very much.
Chloe says
Love your outfit and you are so right! I actually saw a short interview of the actress who played her and was shocked her voice sounds nothing like the character! The character really is so brave & confident. Love her independence!
Adaleta Avdic says
I absolutely loved Luna Lovegood, and I definitely think there is nothing wrong with a little eccentricity. This is a really cute tee, and I love that the color scheme kind of reminds me of ice cream. Just me??
Deborah says
Luna Lovegood was such a gem and a major underrated character! I LOVED her quirkiness and her ability to just be her full self without caring what anyone thought of her. I LOVE your tee!

Loving how you styled this look, the tee color is so pretty and looks fab with the lighter pants! TBH I have no clue who this character is… I’m guessing from a Harry Potter??
Alice says
The cutest summer outfit!! And I too love Luna. I have never really thought about who my favorite HP character was specifically but she ranks up there for sure!
xo, Alice
Whitney says
Such a cute outfit and post! This Luna tee is so fun too!
lee says
That is such a cute outfit, and I’ve never thought about it before but you’re totally right, Luna is such a great character for showing that it’s okay to be yourself and what it looks like to truly be comfortable in your own skin, regardless of what others may think. I love that!
Kortnee says
Aww! I just love Luna, for all the reasons you stated and more. We should all be more like her 🙂
Shirsha says
This outfit looks fantastic on you, and the quirky tee is adorable.
I’ve never thought of Luna in the ways that you mentioned, but yes, you’re right – she’s a totally unapologetic badass, and for someone who has faced so much suffering in life, she still remains so optimistic, that’s amazing.
And I have to say, your photographs really stand out. You really do a fantastic job with them.
