I'm just one of the many who have been touched by the Glee mania that hit last season. I'm not ashamed to admit that I am yes a huge choir nerd and Glee's exactly the show to cure my huge obsession with musical theater. But with still a month left to go before the show's 2nd season premiere (Sept 21st @ 8pm on Fox), I'm in a huge Glee withdrawal. So to heal my empty void, I'd thought I'd mix a little glee with fashion and do a character feature for my blog. Everyone's familiar by now with Glee's own Rachel Berry, the outspoken diva of New Directions, and have come to recognize her dorky style on the show. Known for her sweet cardigans, school girl skirts and knee-high stockings, Rachel Berry has become a statement for the prepster style since her first appearance on Glee. While some would laugh at the idea of Rachel Berry being a fashion icon, there's no mistaking that her nerd chic style has become very popular amongst the masses. It seems everyone would like to find a little piece of Ms. Berry for themselves, and, let's face it, we may not all be able to sing as well as her, but there is a way for us to mimic her cute style - minus the expensive Hollywood stylist. Below I've featured some of the pieces I found to match outfits that Rachel Berry has worn herself on the show - all of them not too hefty on your bank account. The sweaters and polos both come from Old Navy, which may I say, has jumped on board the Rachel Berry bandwagon. I found so many different sweater and cardigans on their website quite similar to items the character would wear in everyday life. I wanted to feature them all, but had to narrow my choices down. My suggestion: If you are that in love with the Rachel Berry style, shop Old Navy this fall to grab a look just like hers that's not too expensive.
If your not that into the Rachel Berry style but love the nerd look anyways, I recommend taking a look at the new Nerd Shop - Forever 21's new twist collection featuring bright cardigans with cute caricatures like glasses and bows, stylishly trimmed blazers and prep school skirts - most pieces under $30. Below is one of my favorite looks from the collection with some accessories I found to match featured off to the side. It's definitely worth taking a look!
While nerds may have been bullied through the centuries, there's no denying now they're finally fighting back. Rachel Berry makes being a nerd look cool, and now this dorkey cute style has become a new statement for fashion sure to stay for years to come!
