Nerdy Must Haves

Today’s Nerdy Must Haves are all fashion-centric! I’m having a case of wanting what I can’t have. Since I’m currently on a hardcore weight loss regime (low carb diet, exercising daily), it’s silly for me to think about buying clothes because I don’t know where I’ll be on the scale in a week, much less a month (I was able to lose 2lbs in my first week back at it!), but I still must HAVE ALL THE THINGS. You know how it is. #girlygeekproblems

X-Files dress; Confession time. I’ve never watched The X-Files. Go ahead. Stone me. I remember being really scared by the premise (I am terrified of aliens) so I refused to watch. Funny enough, I watched the movie and loved it. Even funnier enough, I adored Fringe and list it as my top 5 shows ever, and it is heavily influenced by The X-Files. Go figure. Regardless, I love this X-Files inspired dress and feel the need to have it even though I’m not a fan. I realize how ridiculous that is though, but it speaks volumes for the cut and design of it!

Brunch tank; Although this isn’t necessarily “geeky,” being a Geek Girl Brunch officer, I find ways to tie in brunch and mimosas to geekery. I’ve always loved brunch, but now it seems like the entire world has hopped on board. Honestly, what’s not to love – especially if you can find a spot with bottomless mimosas or free ones. 😉

Maleficent earrings; I’m always down to show my blog’s namesake a little love when it comes to my fashion choices, so I am completely in love with these earrings. They are just the right amount of understated that I gravitate towards. You could pair these just as easily with a work outfit as with one you’d wear to a Con, so they are the ultimate versatile geeky accessory. Sold!

TARDIS galaxy dress; As you can tell, I love a good Peter Pan collar (damn you, Clara Oswald). When I saw that Hot Topic had introduced a Doctor Who fashion collection, I immediately had to check it out. This dress immediately stood out to me as completely adorable and unique (who else is sick of that Her Universe TARDIS dress?), so I whispered “treat yo self” to myself as I added it to my cart. I also checked size small because it’s good to have goals, amirite??
