Having the qualifications of a nerd (Computer Science Major and LOTR lover), I believe I have a right and obligation to cover nerd fashion. I've been wanting to do so for a while, but wanted first to perfect it. Here are my tips for bringing out your inner nerd:
1). The Sweater and Button-down Combo
The sweater button-down combo is the go-to outfit for me. It's quick and a lot of combinations of colors and patterns are permissible. I think it looks very refined with a hint of nerd. Not only that, but it looks good with a bold necklace.
2). Rock Some Oxfords
Oxfords are one of my favorite type of shoes and they're so comfortable. It is the perfect addition to a nerdy ensemble.
3). Forget Contacts
If you wear contacts, forget them for a day and dawn your specs.

Hello! I’m Anna’s cousin, Sidney, who will be a guest blogger for the moment as she is very busy! I hope you’ll bear with me, as I’m not as good of a fashion blogger as she is, but I’ll try my best! X
As Fashion Week keeps rolling on, debuting high-end fashion’s latest styles, you’ll start to see more affordable chain brands are starting to transition into fall wear and putting them on the racks. Although the summer heat is still going strong, it’s always best to hit the mall when the newest looks are out on display! (You’ll wear that sweater in two weeks; don’t worry about whether you’ll be wearing it tomorrow!) So, how can you incorporate some of the new fall trends into your style?
Military
Military trend always comes back full speed during the fall! The army greens, camo, and gold embellishments adorn just about everything you see in the stores. Scared to test out such a look? Incorporate military-inspired pieces slowly – stick a pin like this one, from Forever 21, onto a jacket to give it a bit of edge!
If you are willing to go all-out commando, try thrifting airforce jumpsuits or buying a pair of over-the-knee boots. Watch the length of the over-the-knee boot, however, and what you wear it with! Too flashy of a skirt can look displeasing or risqué, but match it with a modest skirt or short and you’re set.
Uniform
Another trend that comes around each season is uniform-inspired looks. Although this fad could get a bit drab as the years roll on, this season the studious clothes have been given a bit of edge! The best thing to keep in mind with trying to wear these pieces is to avoid looking Clueless, 90’s prep. Thankfully, so long as your wardrobe consists of a little bit of edge or more modern pieces, you’re safe with these staples! Cute pieces to look out for include elbow-pad sweaters, polka dot or striped trousers, thigh highs, pleated skirts, and oxfords!
These two trends are classic fall attire, but with the proper styling can be taken to a whole new level! Metallic accessories and clothes are still popular and selling in stores – incorporating a stylish, modern trend such as this ups the level of chic in a wardrobe with classic pieces. Mess around with tights, socks, skirts, and best of all – jackets and sweaters! This season mess around with minimal and layered jewelry. The best part about fall clothes is the experimental aspects that come with each garment. So feel free to test your style to your heart’s content – hopefully, one of these trends will become a part of your daily style!

Alright, guys. So, this a very exciting day for me because it is full of firsts. For example, in this post I'm finally able to use pictures of my own outfit for the first time, which is really exciting for me. You guys will get an idea of my aesthetic.
Myth #2:
Black and Brown don't go together.
For the longest time I had always followed this unspoken rule of fashion religiously. It was only recently that I realized it's not the case. Although, this rule can be broken it does come with restrictions. For example, the easiest way to pull this off is to do black with brown accessories or shoes. This looks the best and that way, even though you're "violating" this rule you can still look good.
Yay! First picture of my very own. Here, as you can see I did black jeggings and brown oxford shoes. Usually, you want to go with more of a cognac type brown, as opposed to chocolate because it's already close to black. The contrast of black and cognac is really cool. It doesn't have to be shoes, you can always do black with a brown belt or vice versa, whatever works for you. Moral of the story is, don't be afraid to mix these two colors because as you can see they don't clash.
Fall is definitely a good time for mixing black brown because it's easier to pair with more subtle tones that are indicative of fall fashion.
MYTH BUSTED!

Summer is upon us! One of my favorite styles and obsessions is nautical themed clothing. These shorts are nautical style with four buttons on either side and high-waisted. They cost me 15 bucks at Love Culture. I think they're a great piece to have in a wardrobe. It's definitely a piece that will stand out in a crowd. Here, I've paired it with a 5 dollar shirt I bought from H&M (score!) and a pair of oxfords from Shi by Journeys. A good pairing with these shorts could also be a striped shirt with a pocket or anything simple really. It's a very low maintenance outfit, which is why it's perfect for Summer.
