Talking to Bridget (hi Bridget!) about 'seeing' designers and seeing Teen Vogue's newest editorial, I kind of went crazy and woke up at 6 in the morning to put together a homage to Peter Jensen and geeks. The fad of geek chic is not new, but it's not fading away anytime soon--Luella made it mainstream with THAT skirt and BATMAN inspired shirts, and Peter Jensen (my favorite RTW designer, I don't classify CDG as RTW. It's pure clothes porn to me.) bought back vintage inspired looks. Jensen's previous runway is permanently in my head and the new editorial from TV just brought it to the forefront. I need that sweater.
I've noticed I have a predominantly brown, red, green wardrobe when it comes to my winter clothes. Hm.
The only major brand in this pile is Ralph Lauren... the lace shirt (black, next to studded belt) is f21.
Take 1: Too average. Not enough "me".
I AM SO HARDCORE I HAVE AN MCR POSTER. YES. Make fun of me and I'll take my stub left arm and beat you with it. (For the daft, I do not have a stub left arm.) On another note, I think this look does the best job. The cardigan has little gold sailor buttons, so cute.
For take 3 I used one of the turtlenecks as a skirt. It reminds me of CDG's infamous odd shapes, or maybe a flowery cancerous bulge. I like it.
..........anddd things I thought you'd like.
I got this at a window warehouse when we were renovating the house. It was behind a bunch of cracked lightbulbs, and $10 a roll I think? I got two.
I have a little ziplock bag full of all these odd pins and earrings. This particular one lights up. Cute.
Curiously enough, my geek chic looks are mostly dedicated to Tavi, because I miss her terribly and I love her geek glasses. Man I wish she was my little sister, that'd be a stylin' family if I ever saw one.
Also, the lovely people at houserocker sent me first look of Levi's new collection. Pretty sweet, I'm digging the shorts.
So, what do you think of the takes? Favorites? Love or hate?
See you tommorow!

hey love...check out my blog, as i've tagged you!
i love all the geek chic inspired outfits you put together. and i really loved that editorial as well. i just got my teen vogue the other day. =) this is actually the first teen vogue that i've liked in awhile. they had been getting kind of bland on me.
I love the green dress and blouse in the first, though I suppose you're right about it being a little average. The turtleneck as a skirt is absolutely amazing! I'm loving the geek chic. I thought the new teen vogue editorials were the best in the last few months.
Ooh I like everything, obviously. Why does Teen Vogue taunt us with these twice-a-year awesome editorials and then crap layered swimsuits or something the rest of the time??
I don't know why but I can't really pull of geek chic. I guess its because I just end up looking like a geek without a trace of chicness in me.
You on the other hand, look amazing. Particularly on that second outfit. I love that blue vest...
Those photos are really making me ready for Fall already. :)
BELLE. I was in NYC yesterday and in Mont Clair and dammit we should've met up!! sfkjshachjjksf!!! I tried looking for your sunglasses that you got with Maddy and thrifted these bloomers because I remembered you had that cool street style collage that did them great justice. Oh wow, I've really outdown myself this time with the creepiness. Thank you for the mention though, I miss you as well and have taken it upon myself to be a rude houseguest and steal the computer to refresh my brain of your delightful writing.
The pictures have that vintagy look too which makes the great outfits even better. I love the glasses and blazer which holy crap is amazing.

Oh, I love this editorial and the outfits it fostered.
And in regards to your comment:I have a friend who spent $60 on flip flops! Flip flops? WTF?

I just told abigail if you lived near here I would dump her ass and chill with you, hahahah.
Ahahahaha, is she this jew you speak of? I miss a jew too, Steph's sister is at jew camp. I think it's a cult and she just never told me, because she goes every year and is obsessed with it.
yes, she is the jew. the only jew i know, actually. thus, THE jew. her brother is so awesome though. i think I should just find a way to become 11 again and never grow up.

At the end of the day we have an image which is 35 years old, with an interesting and sordid history. Albums with the controversial image are still available *world wide* in recent pressings. You can walk into a record store in the UK and buy it. The image is widely available on the internet, including sites like amazon.co.uk. So blocking the Wikipedia article discussing the image simply makes no sense. (they didn't even block the image itself!)
