I’m back from SDCC, and when I wasn’t having in-depth conversations on comics or dancing with Joss Whedon(!), I was soaking up all of the awesome in panels. This panel was my absolute favorite: 25 ladies showed off their homemade geek-inspired outfits to a panel of geek fashion experts. The panel left me so inspired, I’m already thinking up designs and ideas for my own geeky dresses!
Take a look at the top 6 contestants along with geek fashion advice from the panelists. Want to see more fashion? Pics of every single contestant are over on Facebook.
“Make sure your outfit won’t fall off of you.” and “When in doubt, add glitter.” -Bonnie Burton

“Always accessorize.” -Tarina Tarantino
“Mix high and low.” -Jaime King, wearing a Star Tours t-shirt and Calvin Klein skirt.

Her Universe has recently launched a bunch of new Battlestar Galactica shirts, and I want them all. My Cylon shirt is from Her Universe, and is one of my all-time favorites. I get compliments every time I wear it out!

The only bad news? These shirts aren’t available to purchase until July 11th. I’ll be putting that date on my calendar!
In other “costumes that can be worn out in public” news, this hoodie rocks my socks. It looks fairly discreet, but once you lift the hood up, you’ve disappeared and Princess Leia has taken your place. Perfect for cold days, movie nights, and impromptu costume parties.
The hoodie is created by Her Universe and is available for $54.50 at Hot Topic.
