Technically Fashionable
By November 29


Whether you have a weakness for retro Nintendo games, are fluent in HTML or have an unexplainable fascination with barcodes, you can channel your inner geek through fashion. We did some online window shopping (Get it? Window shopping? Like, computer windows?! Okay, sorry. Bad joke.) Here’s a list of our favorite geek chic pieces:

• USB pendant necklaces: GeekSugar has a slideshow of USB flash drives built into some supercute jewelry. Now you can have your files with you everywhere you go!
• Toad knit hat, Etsy, $25.00: You’ll definitely turn heads in this hat, inspired by Toad from the Mario Brothers games. It comes in range of colors and the seller even throws in a pair of matching mushroom earrings for free.
• Temporary barcode tattoos, Etsy, $2.00: It might not be the smartest idea to get a barcode tattooed on your body forever, but temporarily? Best. Idea. Ever.
• Risky Business glasses, Fred Flare, $11: Thick-rimmed glasses—whether they’re real or fake—are essential to looking geekily chic.
• Pac-Man Pinky Tote Bag, Hot Topic, $20.00: Even though this little pink ghost is technically the enemy, we don’t think he’ll kill you… unless the rest of your outfit is a Pac Man costume.
