“You can never be overdressed or overeducated.”
Oscar Wilde
I’m a nerd.
I blame that on my parents who always valued academics and ensured that I studied hard – to them, a good education could secure a good future. I preferred a nice stack of books as much as a cuddly teddy bear when I was growing up (yay for Scholastic Book Club!) I also always hit the books dutifully so I could attend a good university as well as graduate school. It was all just part of the nerdy life plan.
This nerd has now also expanded her interests to fashion and design as well now, as evidenced by this blog. I happily wear a sheath with a jeweled neckline to the office if my laundry is piled high and don’t mind throwing on a long silk skirt to a casual food festival. I love my dresses, so why not wear them right?
My education and my style are intrinsically part of my identity – the choices I’ve made represent who I am and I display it proudly. As Mr. Wilde said above, one can never be overdressed or overeducated. Rock on with your own style (nerdy or not!)
Have a lovely week!
what gorgeous images! and agree with you 100 % on that quote! xx
These are perfect!! Love them all & wouldn’t mind having them all, haha. I agree with the quote as well, life is too short to dress boring or not just go and have fun like it’s a party :))) Have a wonderful week my dear xx
My parents were the same about education, it came before anything else material. And I am glad for this, love the quote and completely agree, how cute is the Chanel pom pom dress!
I love that quote, and these photos are absolutely gorgeous!
HAHAHA! I love this! Do what you feel! You’re being YOU! I feel the exact same way. Love this spread.
Amen to that quote!
P.S. I’m giving away a $50 gift card to Albion Fit. Come enter!

Nerd on friend!
Gorgeous! I would love to be overdressed in any of these outfits. I used to be self-conscious because I was often overdressed, but now when I see other women overdressed I just think how good they look, so there’s nothing wrong with it at all!
