What I Wore: Sherlocked

_MG_9757

The Geek Girl Brunch Miami chapter had its 2nd brunch a couple of weeks ago, and the ladies chose Sherlock as the theme! Naturally, I was thrilled since it’s in my top 5 fandoms, so it was a blast to plan. I’ll elaborate more about it next week, but for now, you get to check out how I styled for the event 5 months pregnant.

It wasn’t easy. I have a lot of Sherlock apparel, but sadly, I am entering the “nothing really fits” realm when it comes to some of my fandom gear. I never want to just wear a t-shirt (I know, I’m speaking Miami girl right now), and my adorable Sherlock dress from Gold Bubble Clothing was skin tight before I started creating a little human. That left me with a pair of damask tights that kind-of replicated the infamous wallpaper we now all know and love. It’s actually almost the exact outfit I wore to last year’s SherlockedCC party at San Diego Comic Con with a few modifications!

Once again, leggings saved the day for this pregnant geek and I just piled high with related accessories to complete my fangirl look for the day. 😉

What I Wore: No Doubt

DSCF3327

Being a fangirl does not only mean partaking in all things geek, but also can mean you are passionate about anything and everything! In my case, I adore music (especially rock ‘n roll) just as much as my other fandoms. I’m a big fan of 90’s rock and grunge and I’m secretly (or not so secretly) excited about the 90’s resurgence in fashion. I decided to rock out with my No Doubt out a couple of weekends back on a day date with the hubs, and totally loved the laid back vibe.

What I Wore: RocksBoxin’

DSCF3386

After receiving my first Rocksbox, I made some slight alterations to what I would have liked to receive: namely, more every day wear. My stylist promptly listened and my next box came with exactly that! I’m on kind of a gold kick lately (from fashion to design) so I was happy to see that all my pieces were gold and very versatile. I loved the way they paired up with this casual glam outfit that I wore to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday. Don’t forget, if you want to try out Rocksbox for free, use my code: melibellyxoxo.

The statement necklace was perfect with this tee I picked up at Forever 21, which is the *perfect* cut and style to rock with a pregnant belly. In fact, I wish they had more because I would have bought the whole lot! Plus, the Shakespeare quote is one of my favorites so it was a win/win. I actually paired this look with a pair of heels – the first time I’ve worn some in quite awhile. My feet weren’t very happy with me at the end of the day: they were all puffy and sore. Wah for pregnancy glamor!

What I Wore: The Dark Side

_MG_8702

If you follow me over on Fashionably Nerdy, then you saw me post about this great maxi dress that can double as maternity wear. It was on super sale, so naturally I snagged it. I couldn’t wait to feature it because it was absolutely perfect – just the right bit of chic AND geek. My only complaint is that it’s a bit see through, but if you wear the right undergarments, you should be ready to go! It’s definitely the perfect summer piece since it’s so light and airy. I paired it with a denim button down to give it a little more personality and a bold statement necklace to bring in a little glam. Easy, breezy…geekgirl. Slogan: coined.

What I Wore: Back to the Future Marathon

DSCF3114

In a surprising moment, Miami actually hosted a pretty cool geeky event a couple of weekends ago: a Back to the Future marathon at our local art house theater, O Cinema. We naturally picked up those tickets at lightning speed (88 mph, perhaps?) and amped ourselves up by listening to The Power of Love by Huey Lewis on our way over. I know it’s cheesy, but it makes me happy to think that my little one is already experiencing some pretty neat things that her parents love from inside the womb. She showed her appreciation by wiggling around in my belly a few times throughout the movie. She also showed her displeasure by making me pass out half way through the second film and making us miss the last. Oh Luna, you still have the upper hand on me!
