Geek Chic - a list by ASewell

About this list:
Okay, so I don't dress like a runway model, and my t-shirts reference scientific ideas, indie films and comic book characters. There is a style there...*ahem*... Whether it's chic or not, well...that's open to discussion. I guess.

Wire & Twine : Special
First to recommend
Description
What a trip! Back in time that is. You can almost hear the drums and horns break in as the family gathers around the TV for a night of holiday specials. (Think Rudolph or Frosty.)
Inspired by those evenings of our youth, this 6-color design pops off the black American Apparel t-shirt. (via wireandtwine.com)

I found this on a site that didn't have much else on it that I liked. I thought it was a totally cool concept. People tend to feel badly about being single, but when I think back on what it was like being in my previous relationship especially, being single is much more to be proud of! Why not flaunt it?

Warmest Puffer Jacket:Gap
First to recommend
Description
I would have to buy this before the serious markdown. It's down from $98 to $69... Oh well. I'm pretty happy with it. Although, I sort of wonder why "they" are making women's t-shirts and jackets so freakin' short anymore. As if we REALLY want our privates to be on display for some reason. Some strange symbol of fashionable fertility. I dunno. It's just fashion. Inexplicable. Illogical. Anyway, I do like the jacket. It's just a tad too short for my taste. (via gap.com)

Antique Swiss Steel Watch Part with TONS of Detail Sterling Silver Bail Pendant
First to recommend
Description
I had to get another piece to go with my ring, and so I chose this modest pendant. The detail as described is impressive, and I like how the tiny rubies pop right out. The movements are intact, clean and cool. I shined it up when I got it with a jewelry cloth and the results were fantastic. Another steampunk yearning fixated. (via etsy.com)

HELBROS 17 Jewels Antique Steel Watch Part Adjustable Ring
First to recommend
Description
So, I'm recommending something that I have already bought. Not so strange, except that there was only one. I'm writing this recommendation, therefore, to give everyone a "heads up" about the creator and seller "Jewels of Luxury".
She makes some very cool and simple Steampunk jewelry. Also, unlike many of the Steampunk jewelers out there, she isn't overpriced. I found this ring characteristically complex-looking, yet simple at the same time. This made is utterly irresistable to me. Plus, the price was very reasonable. Give her page on Etsy.com a look.

Soul Sista T-Shirt
First to recommend
Description
I like the retro vibe of this t-shirt. It reminds me of when I was a little kid during the early 70's --- hair was high, and Black was Beautiful. (via uniqwear.com)

J!NX : Carpe Noctem Womens Tee
First to recommend
Description
I must admit to preferring this phrase over the the much tauted "Carpe Diem" or "Seize the Day". I've always been a night person, and that isn't likely to change anytime soon. Plus, if anyone saw me with a "Carpe Diem" t-shirt on, it would completely ruin my image. (via jinx.com)

Linty Fresh — The Most Fantastic Things
First to recommend
Description
I'm not usually one for very busy t-shirts, but this one caught my attention. Here is the poem/description from the Linty Fresh site:
At 12 between dozing and dreams
She saw the most fantastic things
A slumber adorned
With razor-edged thorns
That erupted in bloom at the seams
At 3 between dreaming and rest
Her thoughts brought a bright-colored pest
It nibbled just at
Where the thornbush had sat
And summoned its friends from the nest
At 6 between resting and dawn
The odd vermins’ menace was gone
They filled up balloons
And watched the buds bloom
From their spot by the oak in the lawn
A 9 between dawning and rise
She wiped out the salt from her eyes
She tried to start thoughts
On the things she forgot
But nothing remained in her mind (via lintyfresh.com)

Nike Sports Loose Fit Pant
First to recommend
Description
These are some of the most comfortable pants that I have ever owned. Should I get off of my ass and decide to exercise, they are loose-fitting enough to accomodate any type of workout. Made with Nike's amazing DRI-fit fabric, that wicks moisture away from your skin to keep you comfortable. They also look cool enough to wear anywear (aside from dress-up, of course). (via zappos.com)
