Work Outfit Challenge - Day 32.

My workmate Lisa periodically likes to refer to me as a geek. I think this is loosely based on the the fact that I have a degree in IT and graduated with distinction but sometimes I wonder if she thinks I am a little geeky in other ways. Anyway, she muttered under her breath at a meeting yesterday 'geek' and I thought no, I'm a chic geek.
So that is what today's outfit is based on. I googled 'chic geek' and apparently just about the only criteria to fit in to the chic geek genre is to have a geek-ish looking pair of black oversized frames. CHECK.

Exhibit A

 

Exhibit B

 
Exhibit C ... even an Olsen twin can be a chic geek



So, I decided a cute floaty blouse and skirt and the obligatory specs (or goggles as my friend Bec likes to call them) would be the key to today's outfit.

Wearing: top - Sacha Drake via Vinnies (stolen from Twin 1), skirt - eBay (one of my all time best buys), shoes - Siren @ Myer, necklace - made for me at Silk Street Market, Beijing, glasses- Ray Ban @ OPSM, Earrings - old.

Any suggestions for tomorrow?

Over and Out

XOXO
