Embrace Your Inner Geek

I'm an utterly average, total geek.

The Best Theory

BACK TO COOL?
(Sweater: Zara | White crisp shirt: Tyler | Velvet Ribbon (used as tie): DIY | Socks: Marks & Spencer | Shoes: Nine West | Purse: LV Murakami Rita)

Everyone's gone back to school back here. Yes, along with the monsoon and tropical storms, students are trading in their swimsuit for school uniforms and their beach gear for books. I decided to be more "in theme" with the maddening crowd and dress appropriately for the mad season, in an absolutely preppy chic look which was quite so easy to pull off, considering this was one of my "lazy day" looks.

The basics of a preppy/geek chic outfit is a academic themed sweater (note the matching embroidered insignia) layered over a crisp button down top and a velvet ribbon which I personally created from a bunch of ribbons I own from my collection. Accented with some red bows and then added on a pair of socks + Mary Jane shoes (note the 2-inch minimum heel length)... very school appropriate, even the principal would approve.




PS: my brother called this look Sailor Moon-ish....I was going for Preppy School Girl!

Paper Doll Tea Party

The Good Girl Card.

(Cardigan: H&M | Skirt: From a friend | Top: Topshop | Shoes: Tyler | Pin: Irene's Closet)

Sometimes, I get the compliment: “You are such a doll” so many times in one day…. I get confused and start believing I actually am. Must be the really big eyes.

Anyway, this is an archived post from weeks back, I never realized how pretty the contrast of blue and pink looked until this day and I’m glad I kind of experimented with the look cause it definitely brought back my inner geek to the surface. I reckon I looked like such a sweet little school girl, *Note: I even have a name tag pinned to my cardi. It’s so much fun dressing up and playing the “good girl” card every now and then. Definitely missed doing this look!

PS: The skirt, I got from my friend, Audrey’s old stash of clothes she was going to garage sale before. I found it soooo cuteeee (with the tiny bow print) and told her to give it to me instead of selling it…and she did!
