Back to bloginess

So at the end of last year I fell out of love with my blog a little so I had a little break. I started Happy Little Geek with the intention of detailing my everyday cosplay outfits and how I brought an element of geek into an ordinary outfit. The important thing to me was that the out fits were wearable, practical and in my wardrobe. I found I was buying too many things specifically to create outfits, rather than using the items I already have to create the looks I want. 

Obviously I'm still going to buy geeky accessories and t-shirts etc because I want to celebrate the things I love. I'm no longer going to be going out trying to buy full outfits! I might buy a skirt because it reminds me of Clara or a top that makes me think of Buffy but that's pretty much how I used to shop anyway! 


So the Blog is going back to basics. Reminding myself the blog was set up to be fun and not an extra job! 
  • Keeping a journal of my Everyday Cosplay. I'll post a couple per month. 
  • My Happy Little How To's, to show you how I get some of the details in my outfits.
  • Writing up my geeky experiences as and when the happen, from reading comics to attending cons.

Also this year sees a new challenge..... I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant! So can I keep up the geek style with my expanding tummy?!?! I think it's going to involve basic layers and accessories! 


So I hope you like my new posts as they come along. I'll also need your help to suggest characters I can find hiding in my wardrobe!!

Much love
