Nerdvember Day 15: Star Wars

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.

I was as happy as Harley Quinn rescuing...

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.

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...

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...

I don’t wear them usually. My piercings have closed long ago. These are clip-ons. So, not only I feel weird wearing earrings, they got uncomfortable after a few hours. Oh well. I tried. Comment from Muggles: My coworker Alex saw my Instagram post...
