#SQUAD x Torrid

As a fat girl, I love love love Torrid. It was the first place that I found clothes that made me feel like, well, me. There's so many more options out there now, but Torrid was my saving grace in high school. Because of that, it will always have a special place in my heart.  

Torrid always has some of my most favorite collections, and their latest collection #SQUAD, inspired by the upcoming release of DC's Suicide Squad movie, is no exception. Fret not leaner ladies, Torrid is a part of Hot Topic, Inc. This means that most of their exclusive collections (including this one) are available in smaller sizes through Hot Topic.

The #SQUAD collection is an online exclusive set to release on July 22 and is currently available for pre-order. It focuses a lot on Harley Quinn's character, using mostly blue, red, white, black, and gold. Pieces range in price from $39 to $75.

The Lil' Monster Raglan Tee and Mesh Inset Skater Dress are my two favorite pieces in the collection. I see at least one of these, if not both, in my future. Click here to see the rest of the collection, and click here to check it out in smaller sizes at Hot Topic - with bonus Joker looks!

'Til next time.

A Whole New World, or Whatever

Hey, I'm Shannon. I'm a 25 year-old marketing assistant living in Indianapolis. And I'm a freaking huge nerd. I've been wanting to start a blog for so long, but I was never sure what to write about. I just love to write. So at the beginning, I'm just going to write what I feel like when I feel like it. And if things go well, then I'll work on some kind of structure.

The working name of my blog is Geekish. I feel like it encompasses everything I love - video games and books and fantasy and superheroes. And I talk about that stuff, like, a lot. But I'm also really trying to like healthy stuff. And I love animals and girly shit...and occasional cursing...


I just want a space that's mine. And I also think it would be fun to mess around with photos and design. Because right now I'm clueless. I bought this template on Etsy, and I'm relying on this amazing fan art to give you something pretty to look at. Because I care.
