ICYMI, our Fall SGFashionFix Challenge has already begun! It runs through the entire month of October. Here are the prompts!
Our first week’s prompt was Pirates, and I wanted to share how I built a pirate outfit from pieces I already had in my closet. I figure this might be useful if you need a last minute Halloween costume or wanted to make more use out of your clothes.
We’re currently in the middle of Sartorial Geek’s biggest annual fashion challenge—Summer #SGFashionFix—that runs all month long! This is Week 4. So we’re over half-way through, but that doesn’t mean you can’t jump in! In fact, this might be the best week for debuting your geek chic looks because the theme is about the conventions we’re missing this year due to the pandemic, like San Diego Comic Con.
Hello 2020! It’s a new year and decade, which makes it a great time to set goals. Everyone has different resolution-makings habits, but last year, I tried something new. For my first outfit of the new year, I wore something that projected the feeling I wanted for the rest of the year. It was a creative way of declaring my intentions sartorially. I’m doing the same for 2020, and I’m sharing that idea and my New Year outfit with you.
‘Tis the season, and I’ve been thinking about ways to make the usual geek outfits more festive. Here are holiday style tips for geeks that aren’t just putting on another ugly Christmas sweater.
Dapper Day Fall 2019 at Disneyland, CA was the first weekend of November. It was also the first time one at the parks could include Galaxy’s Edge since that land opened after Spring Dapper Day had already taken place. Naturally, my sister and I decided to participate for the first time because Star Wars. With one month left before the conclusion of the Skywalker Saga, it felt like a nice way to kick off our celebration of the series.
At Disney’s D23 Convention, it struck me how creative Disney fans are with their cosplay. They are masters of the fandom mash-up! This year, I saw Disney Princesses from the Spiderverse, from Pixie Hollow, and from a galaxy far, far away. You also see this creativity in Disneybounding, which is rife with character outfits in the styles of specific fashion eras.
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.
We’re on Week 2 of the Sartorial Geek Fashion Fix: Summer Challenge, and the prompt is Magical Menagerie, encompassing your favorite animal & animal-symbol characters. Since Disney’s live action The Lion King is out later this month, I’m Disneybounding a character from the classic animated film.
My last Disneybound post, Light Side Style, outfitted you to represent the Jedi Order or join the Resistance when you arrive at Disney’s Star Wars-themed land Galaxy’s Edge. This time, I share Dark Side Disneybound options.
Where there is Light, there is also Dark, and that’s true at Black Spire Outpost, which includes the presence of the sinister First Order. So if you’re inclined towards Imperial might or the mysterious Knights of Ren, these looks are for you.
This week, Disneyland opens its much anticipated Star Wars-themed land, Galaxy’s Edge*. This begs the question, what are you going to wear? Are you planning a Star Wars Disneybound?
In this 2-part blog post, I’m getting you outfitted for your visit to the Black Spire Outpost in either Light Side style or Dark Side chic.
