How To - Geek Chic: From barely literate bookworm to sexy secretary

SuperGeekHotness = Leather/pleather + wife beater + 20 year old accessory of choice. Nothing says "geeky" like marching to the beat of your own, slightly crackpot, drummer. Tip - add one super hot item (like these boots, or some bling) to the mix to avoid looking like you just rolled out of a goodwill donation trailer.






Geek About Town: Look smart while running errands in bright shorts that don't look like shorts, an adorable bag (for your books, of course) and flesh-colored sandals that will be your new warm weather staple. Going to the "library" never looked so good!

Shoe options, because even Geeky Girls love shoes...




GeekRocker: Rock out with your toes out in these pretty patterned peeps. Pair skinny pants and a long top with a denim vest for amplified attitude.





Classic Sexy Secretary: Plenty of pockets on this skirt (for holding your pens and calculator). A crisp button-down, colorful crop jacket and heels add daytime polish.


Dress the blouse and skirt down with combat boots and something hooded for nightime rendezvous .



Date Night: Playfully perfect bright comfy dress, meanswear jacket and wedge heels (for those of us who eschew an uncomfortable shoe.)




Breezy Bookworm: Dress the so-fresh abstract print cap sleeve dress and distressed lace ankle boots with outerwear and accessories in a style not popular in 50+ years and BAM.

Spring Look Book/Shopping List

The coming of Spring and the promise of warmer weather totally makes me want to shop. So, without further ado, I present my Spring wish list...

ACCESSORY MUST HAVE - JET FINISH
Vera Wang styles are HOT! The jet finish happily coexists with silver or gold - perfect for layering without clashing with your daily faves.

A faux pearl bracelet (APT9) is perfect for office-to-evening.
Blue pearls add a pop of color to an overdone jewelry standard, keeping you classy AND trendy.


A new twist on the classic hoodie. The loose fit and short sleeves
make this jacket perfect for warming weather!
I'm LOVING this bold, not boring, animal-print "halterkini" top by Dana Buchman. The best parts? Two ways to tie the top (open, as shown, and keyhole style for added coverage) and Mix-and-match separates with a skirt option.

Lace bike shorts are perfect for a little added "something something" under mini-dresses like these!

The look of a complete outfit made effortless for you lazy ladies.

So cool it hurts, but even better boldly belted.


TOPS:

These three tops are killer plus-sized styles that would look great on ANY body.

Classic stripes and florals that won't be mistaken for last year's!

These pieces were found on Kohls.com and are less than $30. Happy Shopping!
