Inspiration: It’s half way point through Nerdvember. And a Saturday. I wasn’t wearing anything nerdy all day until we had to go to our friend’s birthday gathering. So, voila. Components: Star Wars “Save the Tree” hoodie and, of course, my Star Wars Vans. #Nerdvember Day 15: #StarWars marks the half way point. #settostunning A photo posted by oakley boren (@oakmonster) on Nov 11, 2014 at 6:36pm PST Comment from Muggles: I met a fellow USC alum at the shindig. He complimented the shoes. I told him that I wear these to the games because of George Lucas. He kind of...

Inspiration: Rocket Raccoon in his Guardian uniform. Components: Raccoon Laplander. Red thermal shirt. Navy sweater. #Nerdvember Day 14: Rocking Rocket from the comic books. #settostunning #guardiansofthegalaxy #rocketraccoon A photo posted by oakley boren (@oakmonster) on Nov 11, 2014 at 7:32am PST Surprises: My birthday is tomorrow, and I had zero plan. However, my friends had a different idea. #TheGreat38 started on Thursday night at my monthly girls night out dinner where the girls came with a GIANT balloon and ice cream cake (thanks Diva Cowgirl!), and presents (Team Wicket’s other half Christine!). I was as happy as Harley Quinn rescuing...

Inspiration: Two things. First, Harley Quinn’s casting news. I think Margot Robbie is PERFECT. Secondly, I’m half way through the New 52’s comic book series. And I friggin’ LOVE HER! Components: Harley Quinn “dress”. (Well, it’s a sleep tank on most people but it’s a dress on ME!) Diamond pattern tights. Denim jacket. Red Scarf. #Nerdvember Day 13: Celebrating Harley Quinn’s casting news. #settostunning #harleyquinn A photo posted by oakley boren (@oakmonster) on Nov 11, 2014 at 6:50am PST Challenges: I tried on both black leather jacket and black sweater. While I would probably be the only one in the...

Inspiration: Tom Mison’s Ichabod Crane Components: Green button-down shirt. Military-inspired vest. Skinny jeans. Boots. #Nerdvember Day 12: I will never be as pretty as Tom Mison’s Ichabod Crane… #settostunning #SleepyHollow A photo posted by oakley boren (@oakmonster) on Nov 11, 2014 at 7:14am PST Challenges: I can look through pictures upon pictures of Tom Mison all day. I didn’t want to stop browsing. Heh. Oh, and clothing challenges. Right. Deciding on the pants. Ichabod has brown pants and I have no such thing in my closet. Black jeans would be too much, so I went with regular denim. Comments from...

Inspiration: Our trip to the Very Large Array in 2012. Components: VLA long-sleeve t-shirt. Star pennant. #Nerdvember Day 11: #VLA. That was one awesome nerd road trip! #settostunning #notsostunning A photo posted by oakley boren (@oakmonster) on Nov 11, 2014 at 7:30am PST Back story: Brandon’s family lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It’s always been a debate when we head out there if we wanted to see along the drive out there. (He likes to drive.) Our first time driving out, we visited the Meteor Crater. This was our second trip, so we had to decide on our nerd...

5 Thoughts It’s Sunday. Why am I up at 7 a.m. without the alarm for no reason at all? Oh right. I started coughing. So much for going to bed without Nyquil for the first time in a week. What a beautiful day outside and pleasant inside. It’s a great day to do whatever! And so we went mattress shopping. And it was virtually painless (except for when I cut my thumb on the laminated price sheet). We were in and out of the store in less than 30 minutes. Our new mattress arrived within a few hours. TV Binge...
