Week 1 of Sartorial Geek’s first Geek Fashion Fix Challenge is in the bag! We’ve loved seeing everyone’s creative takes on the Nerd Prom theme. Y’all are KILLIN’ it! As co-hosts, Alice and I will be trading-off sharing a recap of the outfits we styled for ourselves on the blog so you can see what fandoms we decided to rep, and how we interpreted them in our own way. Without further ado, here are my looks for Nerd Prom . . .

I’m a firm believer in dressing up no matter what the occasion. Going on a quick Target run? Have dinner plans at a super casual restaurant? Taking your dog out for a walk? Dress to the nines . . . but make it geeky!

Like many geeky fashionistas, I’m always taking inspiration from beloved (and love to hate) characters from books, movies, and tv shows. Since I’ve been riding high on Marvel, I created a fun look with retro flair inspired by Minn-Erva from Captain Marvel, as portrayed by Gemma Chan. While I was bummed her character wasn’t fully fleshed out, there’s no denying that her aesthetic is cool AF.
