Fall Blues

I have to say that my anticipation for the coming of the Fall season has died down a bit. It's not officially winter, but it feels like it here in Massachusetts. Today, was a nice day; "warm" enough to get away with wearing a denim jacket and tights.

I snagged a few new items while thrifting this Black Friday. I never shop on Black Friday because I don't see getting trampled for a television as fun or festive. Anywho, it seemed like the rowdy shoppers had gone home for the night when I stopped by my local thrift store.

And I am so glad I did. In addition to a paisley vintage dress and a cute purse, I landed some royal blue pumps and a rockin' red clutch, vintage of course.

So, here's the breakdown:

Denim jacket, Old Navy - $30 (I bought this at full retail price, ugh, I know!)

Black Skirt - Gifted

Black and white polka dot tee shirt, thrifted - $2

Red Vintage Clutch, thrifted - $3

Royal Blue Pumps, thrifted - $3.50

Necklace, Madrag - $5 (I think)

Black tights, Walmart - $5

Total: $48.50

As little as I paid for this entire outfit, it certainly cured my fall blues. So, bring it on winter!

STYLE TIP: If you have a lot of running around to do, a pair of bright colored flats will add that extra pep to your step and to your wardrobe while keeping your feet nice and comfy.

Winter Layers

Morning Chica's! I'm back to school and back to studying, writing papers and taking tests, but I could not forget to post my first day outfit.

Layers aren't just trending. I literally had to layer today because it's so freakin' cold in New England. There was snow on the ground and I was not a happy camper. I should be used to the weather since I've lived here all my life... BUT I'M NOT! I'll never get used to the frequently changing weather.

Back to the outfit: I pulled out my favorite boots and clutch and thought denim would be warm. Call me crazy, but I didn't want to wear a heavy coat today. (You said, "Where they do that at???" Here. LOL) I am wearing nude hosiery though. I'm not completely foolish. Anywho, I grabbed my denim blazer from the closet and this Land's End chambray shirt, but it wasn't warm enough when I went outside. I missed my first bus, but ran back inside and paired the look with this sweater from Old Navy.

I'm warm now and the sun's coming out so maybe I won't totally regret not wearing jeans or leggings. My only regret: This skirt is way too light weight for a windy day. I'm sure I flashed this guy getting off the bus, but overall, I love it and I feel great in it.

Sincerely,
A GeekChicChica

Denim On Denim

I used to believe you couldn’t mix denim and look super chic… but I was wrong. Yes, I admit! In this outfit I mixed a light Chambray button-up shirt that ties at the waist with my favorite pair of dark wash, wide leg jeans; threw on a scarf because although the sun was out, it was a little nippy in the shade. I wore this outfit with my camel-colored boots, a chucky blue and gold necklace and geek specs.

As for my hair… I call it the Insta-bun! Probably the most ingenious and effortless hair style ever… I just pulled my hair into a pony tail and pinned on my Insta-bun and I was all set!
