Le Geek C'set Chic

Earlier in the month I blogged about my August Inspiration and how I planned to channel some Geek Chic into my life and my wardrobe.

Well after a long cruise of the A/W 12 opening collections from both designers and the high street I think I may have cracked the code!

First take a pencil skirt (or any midi length skirt style this season for that matter) then layer up with chunky knitted sweaters and cardigans - preferably those which show off your test scores like this beauty below from Aubin & Wills.

Then, add a classic mac or duffle coat over the top and accessorise with a satchel and oversize frames. Lastly for footwear you can't go wrong with a loafer or brogue - flat shoes really are the height of fashion this season!

Non essential (but oh so stylish) extras include hairbands and embellished collars. Blair Waldorf anyone?
