The Casual Geek in Me


 I love a good blazer. It's no secret. The GAP literally has like, seven versions of this blazer and I want each and every one of them. I bought this one a few weeks back because I thought it was most "fun", and I already had a few blazers in neutral colors. I love the polka dot lining, and the bright trip along the collar. I decided to keep the look casual still by pairing it with my favorite TOMS, my Bob Dylan shirt, and my glasses. Because I have glasses but normally wear contacts, wearing my glasses is an instant way to either make an outfit look a little bit more laid back (typically part of my "get gussied up" routine involves contacts > glasses.) but it also makes for a more geeky look. (I'm a geek at heart, it's true. Or am I a nerd? Maybe both.) What goes better together than nerdy glasses and a blazer? Nothing. The answer is nothing.

Use the Force

 I found these shorts at Goodwill yesterday for $7. I was a little on the fence about them, but I'm actually really glad I purchased them! Pieces like these shorts are the kind of items that aren't very conventional or obvious to have in your closet, but I feel that they can be a lot of fun! Though they are preppy golf shorts, I love taking pieces that can be funked up - Hence the Star Wars T-shirt and bright blue bag!

What are some of your favorite unconventional pieces you wear?
