Being Geek Chic is the yammerings of a Midwestern nerd named Elizabeth Giorgi. My vision impairment is real, which is frustrating because I really would like to see a 3D movie.

Geeky at Work: URL and/or Link Tee
Everyone can use a good pun in their life. This “URL Link Tee” from Threadless is a nice reminder to laugh about our clothing choices every once and a while. Plus, it’s on clearance!
Here I’m pairing a camel blazer (Helmut Lang) with navy, because they’re a perfect and underutilized combination. With a pair of skinny ankle pants, you’ll look sharp and have an edge of class too.
If you roll up your blazer sleeve, you can add a stack of vintage inspired bangles (Forever 21, starting at $5.80) to add some more color to the whole look. The shoes (Target, $34.99) aren’t quite perfect for the winter months here in Minnesota, but the red and camel combination have me dreaming of open toe-friendly months.
If you’ve got a geeky item that you’d like us to style for work, please send it to us at [email protected].
