Geek Chic: The Cutest of All the Skull Kitties
Here's something I haven't had the chance to do in a while: a Geek Chic outfit post! *hugs* I've missed doing these so much!
So, the background is a tiny bit plain because I'm still in the process of migrating our new dining table from the Halloween decor to the Thanksgiving/Fall decor. Also, I've been working on the store quite a bit lately, so that's been taking up all our eating space. It's cool though, we're making it work haha!
I'm really in love with this shirt and skirt as individuals, and would ship them together always if I could. This shirt because it's ridiculously comfortable and fits perfectly. This skirt was from my most recent trip to Old Navy and was a chance item I found buried in between a bunch of jackets. It was the only one, in my size, and the perfect length. I hate finding circle skirts these days because I can almost never find one is an appropriate length (aka: doesn't show my ass to everyone). I'm far too shy for too much cleavage or leg. I have one skirt that I call my Arianna Grande skirt (which looks a lot like most of the circle skirts she rocks). I wore it once for mine and Mike's 1 month anniversary. I tried wearing it again and just started NOPE!-ing all over the place. That skirt has since been replaced by this beauty.
I recently fired back up my Nintendo DS Lite and DS and hit up GameStop for copies of Pokemon Black and White to introduce my darling to. Needless to say, there is much competition going strong to catch them all before the other person does. We are being kind enough to each other for trading. Took us a little while to figure out the logistics of the C-Gear (last version I was playing, and am still trying to finish, is Sapphire), but we managed a semi-successful battle and one successful Pokemon trade! Yay noobs! I watched Mike finish the story line for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare over the weekend while I worked on my store. The graphics in that game are freaking beautiful. Even if you're not a heavy gamer or a gamer at all, just check out some of the gameplay on YouTube and take the time out to appreciate the art. Also, Kevin Spacey. That's all I wanted to say. Kevin. Spacey. *swoons*

Aww yeah. Nothing like dusting off the consoles and getting back into it. Freshness. :DDD I'm loving that skirt, by the way. I love the skater skirt trend, but I don't have the body for it. It flares nicely on you, though! I guess I'll stick to my granny skirts. Hehe.

Lol, yeah there was a LOT of dust on my babies. My poor NES has been inactive for far too long. She's next on my list. And thank you! I'm glad the skater skirt works because I'm a few inches too short for pencils and I have terrible luck finding maxis and tea lengths that I can rock. I'm always so jealous of you bloggers in the more central, non-coast states. It seems like you guys get all the best thrift items. 🙁 Luckies.
Love the outfit! My husband finished the story mode of COD advanced warfare too! Not a big COD fan but I agree the graphics are great!

I struggle too much with FPS games to feel like I can super get into it. He's introducing me to the Halo games right now, though, and it's surprisingly easier that I thought it would be. Lol, I probably won't be saying that in 2, 3, or 4, but I think this was a far better intro into FPS than Battlefield or COD were for me. Have you played Halo before?
