Geek Chic // Outfit Post

It's Wednesday! And for me, that means there are only two more days until my family and I load up the car and head to Tennessee. My parents are going on a business trip and my brother and I will be staying with relatives. I'm excited to see my family and friends in TN again :)


Today's outfit is in honor of a certain Gwen Stacy from a certain incredibly successful movie franchise. The Amazing Spiderman 2 just came out in theaters, and as I am planning to see it within the next week or so, I decided to pay tribute to Gwen with this look.

 
Gwen Stacy wears very polished clothing that has a sophisticated, schoolgirl vibe. This outfit is modeled after the fashion in the first movie, but I'm looking forward to seeing how her style has developed in the second one.


I channeled my inner schoolgirl with a collared shirt with a simple grey skirt, similar to the one Gwen wears in the movie. Her shoes are very simple but sleek, so I went with these black, Oxford-esque shoes that have a chunky little heel and paired them with matching socks.
 
In almost every scene in the movie (with a few exceptions, of course), Gwen wears her platinum-blond hair in a bouncy ponytail with blunt bangs. I wasn't going to have my bangs cut just for the sake of this look, but I did pull my hair back and smooth back the top-- simple and classy.
 
Her makeup is pretty natural, other than the occasional winged eyeliner, so I focused on the eyes and then just lined and colored my lips. Light foundation & blush.
 
This ended up being more of a tutorial on a Gwen Stacy look! Oh, well, I like it :)
 
Who is your favorite Marvel character? Do you get inspiration from movie fashion, too?
