“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!) Ā I also always hit the books dutifully so I could attend a good university as well as graduate school. Ā 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. Ā 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. Ā 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. Ā As Mr. Wilde said above, one can never be overdressed or overeducated. Ā Rock on with your own style (nerdy or not!)
Have a lovely week!

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!

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!
