Can you believe we’re all past the 1 year anniversary of quarantine? That also means it’s time for another round of #SGFashionFix! It’s spring, and things are looking up a little. To help you get some practice with dressing up for events (virtual and socially distanced in person), we’ve come up with a week of prompts to help stretch your geek styling muscles.

This year’s spring challenge is running May 2nd-9th. We hope you’ll participate!

Hey awesome nerds!

We’re back with our first Fashion Fix challenge of 2021! Last year we were elated to hear that our challenges have been a source of happiness and much needed distraction from . . . well *gestures at everything*. So we’re excited to come back, with Alice and Nina as co-hosts again, for another week full of stylish geeky goodness! They’ve come up with prompts that’ll make you flex your creative muscles, and also chill ones because we’re still a little lazy from sheltering in place. Haha!

As you’ve probably noticed, the world looks a little different right now. So does our spring Sartorial Geek Fashion Fix challenge.

Because we’re mostly stuck inside (shout out to our essential workers who are keeping things going), our goal with this challenge is to be as accessible as possible. We wanted to give ourselves something fun to look forward to but definitely not stress about. If you’re a little nervous when it comes to fashion challenges (hello, it me), this is a perfect time to dive in. For example, our Day One prompt is Morning Cuppa. Which is, essentially, show us your mug. And you all crushed it:

Hello from the other side of the Sartorial Geek’s first fashion challenge #SGFashionFix!! Though the challenge is over, I’m wrapping up by recapping my looks from Week 5. I claimed this week on the blog because my oldest nerd title is bookworm, and my bookstagram (@threadedpages, if you’re interested) is themed on bookish fashion. And that’s what the final week was all about! The Get Lit(erary)! theme celebrates everything books.

For week three of the Fashion Fix challenge, I had a ton of ideas for different characters I wanted to try to embody. Complex female characters are kind of my thing, and happen to be this week’s theme. I thought about nerdy Velma from Scooby Doo. Julia Wicker from The Magicians (which I just finished binge watching and am now going through withdrawals). And finally, one of my favorite TV latinas, Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
