We Love Fine: Marvel Leggings

welovefine

We Love Fine is at it again with their amazing fandom-inspired legging designs. They have just released two “fan-funded” styles that are absolutely adorkable. You can preorder either the low-waisted Iron Man leggings or the high-waisted Groot leggings for just $40 – the catch? They need to meet their pre-order goals in order to go into production. So if you are digging either one of these styles, help them become a reality! They’d make a perfect holiday gift for that geeky girl in your life or use them as an excuse to treat yo’self.

I’m obsessed with the Groot leggings and think either would be perfect for your next local Geek Girl Brunch meetup, movie premiere or Con. Although, lets be completely honest: Any time is a good time to wave your fandom flag high and proud. Interested in some styles that are available now? These are some of my favorites:
Chewy | Adventure Time | Loki

Happy shopping, geeks!

What I Wore: Dainty Avenger

Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset

I’ve been feeling very feminine lately as my bump grows in size. With Luna a little over a month away, I am really playing up my new figure and having so much fun with what’s already in my closet. Naturally, things get a little more fun when I’m able to get some geekery in on my daily looks. I am a sucker for girly touches, and one of my favorite details is a Peter Pan collar. I am instantly drawn to any top or dress that sports one, so naturally this Avengers Assemble tee from Her Universe was the perfect addition to my wardrobe. It’s nice, soft and stretchy, which is much appreciated during pregnancy and allows for a lot of high-waisted pairings, such as one of my favorite tulle skirts. Once the two are together, it just screams girly kitsch, so obviously I had to finish the look with a frilly headpiece.

And yes, this is my bedroom. It’s becoming harder and harder to pose outdoors the farther I get in my pregnancy. I overheat and feel super weak, so you may see some changes to my style posts in the weeks to come! I’m also trying out photographing myself with a tripod, which has been challenging, but also freeing. Let me know what you think!

5 Fandom Friday: One Fandom Item Styled Five Different Ways

This Fandom Friday really spoke to my heart being fashion related! As you all know, I love putting together stylish geeky outfits, so I had fun with this one. It was tough to choose just one fandom item, but I finally settled on the fandom crop top. Sure, you may think that a 30-something-year-old should not be rocking crop tops, but I beg to differ. I think there are many ways to style a crop top in age-appropriate ways and I hope this post illustrates that.

There are a lot of great options out there for geeky crop tops and being convention season, these ideas may spark a little outfit inspiration (or two). Although I have many a crop top, I decided to go with my Marvel one because it’s so bright and fun.

Nerdy Must Haves

It’s time for yet another episode of Nerdy Must Haves.
With the holiday season slowly creeping upon us, there is even more geeky goodness for us to feast our eyes on. This can be both overwhelming and awesome all at once for a shopaholic like myself, and just downright tragic for my wallet. Oh well, someone’s gotta live this coveted geek life, amirite?

Clockwise from top left;


1. Darth Vader studs; Her Universe slays it again with this pair of understated yet bad ass black hermatite Darth Vader studs. One way to remind others that the Dark Side has a classy side as well.
2. Marvel ugly sweater; I’m pretty sure I’ll be attending my first ugly sweater party this year, so I was pumped. Now, everyone knows doing flat out ugly just isn’t my thing, but this Marvel sweater? It was just all sorts of perfect. I can rock the geek chic while still being a little tacky (I mean, excessive patterning anyone?).
3. Tardis in space tote; I am so digging this subtle design. The more and more I work in my field of behavior analysis, the more I appreciate a good tote bag. You tend to accumulate all sorts of toys, reinforcers and general fun stuff as you grow as a therapist so I have multiple totes that I…well…tote around often. I can definitely see myself rocking this one to some of my sessions (hoping and praying someone would get the reference).
4. Sailor Moon body con skirt; I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time I feature a Sailor Moon body con related item, but I just can’t help myself. I’m an addict and I’m OK with that. If I could permanently dress up as a Sailor Scout I would, and I’m pretty sure that’s an acceptable life decision. I mean, I’m an adult. Other adults feel the same because the skirt is currently sold out. Wah!
