Monday Mashup: Geek Chic?

By Kirsten|October 25th, 2010|Monday Mashup|

The Fashion Police on E! recently cited The Social Network and Justin Timberlake as the catalysts for the onslaught of people wearing geek glasses. A couple things: 1) Justin (aka Sean Patrick) didn’t even wear these glasses in the movie, 2) this “trend” started way before this movie. I blame hipsters trying to look ironic.

As a girl who actually needs her glasses to read, I find it incredibly obnoxious that glasses are now “trending.” Now that I found the perfect cool pair of plastic Chanel frames, I cringe when putting them on hoping that others don’t look at me as a trend chaser. What do you guys think? Is it totally lame to wear “fake” glasses?

I’ve already told you that smart is the new pretty… and today I’ll let you in on another secret: geek is the new chic. We are busy girls who need to keep in touch and work on the go. So, of course, we need to keep up with the trends while keeping up with the latest in technology. How does one tote all of her electronics without carrying a not so chic backpack?
