Graphic tees can be awesome ways to show off your favorite band or cartoon, but rockin’ one with your fave book cover on it takes your outfit to a whole new level. Bonus points if you can work some deets from the novel into your outfit, like a cool ‘20s style headband or over the top glitz from The Great Gatsby.
