Nerdy Chic Pose Off- Guess to Win!
In honour of school starting, we geeked out this week in our Pose Off post! It's all about sweater vests, thick rimmed glasses and collegiate wear. Of course, we're not total squares so we added some chic additions to our nerdy pieces.
The key to pulling off this look is to pair classically geek wear with a few key trendy pieces which gives it an overall chic and sophisticated feel. Of course, besides all this and most importantly, you're going to have to have the confidence to pull it off!
Michelle is perfectly preppy with her cable knit cardigan! It's very Ralph Lauren circa the early days and paired with vintage-esque tortoise shell glasses, she channels the nerdy vibe. What makes this even more nerdy is the fact that those are prescription!
Michelle says the geekiest thing about her is, "I make PowerPoint presentations for fun."
Tammy does your typical sweater vest and button down for this post but matching it with a pair of plaid shorts on bottom makes this formerly stuffy look more casual. Her look is cute and light and perfect for a walk down to the library!
Tammy says the geekiest thing about her is, "I never miss a Marvel Comics Movie."
Jenni was inspired by Harry Potter for this post with her thick rimmed shades and collegiate stripes. A white button down underneath makes this outfit the perfect uniform for school but little puff sleeve details are a cute addition.
Jenni says that the nerdiest thing about her is, "The fact that I go to study at the library on Friday nights, for fun."
Alexandra is a retro librarian in this pose off. A vintage floral print secretary blouse is paired with a long pleated skirt. Scholarly glasses make this outfit fit for any school marm- not that she is though!
Alexandra says the geekiest thing about her is, "I can watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer for hours on end."
What do you think of our geeked out makeovers? If you can correctly guess which one of us owns a 'Bazinga' t-shirt from the show The Big BangTheory, you may win one of these prizes. Leave us a comment below!

ahahahahaha I just read Alexandra's facebook comment above. Just because you're nerdy doesn't mean you'll be alone:P You can always find guys like the ones in the Big Bang Theory! lol. | |
I vote Alex, her geekiness has been revealed subtly in past posts! | |
I'm guessing Jenni ! ^^ | |

jenni! | |
Fun makeovers! Alexandra is my guess. | |

Well, Alex already posted that it was her who owned the shirt. So that's my guess! Overall, I don't like this trend... I think Tammy pulled the look together, but it still reminds me of high school uniforms. Not sure how to tweak the trend so it doesn't seem so uniform-y. |
