Fashion Highlight: Winter Geek chic

January 22, 2013

I’m not exactly a geek, but I love my devices!

Take away my iPhone, HTC One*, or Macbook Air and take away a part of me that not only makes me feel connected to friends, family, and you, but helps me access the beautiful design and inspiration that keeps me going every day.

But when the weather starts getting colder, it becomes a little harder to pull out my beloved devices without freezing my fingers off or risking it being dropped as I fumble with my coat/zippers/random extra stuff I am carrying because of the weather.

Luckily I think one can look chic at almost any time with the right accessories.  I love zippered pockets in the winter to securely hold all the things I can’t necessarily get into my bag (which would ideally be cross body so it still fits over my jacket). Touch gloves are also a great accessory for winter and are perfect for staying warm while using a touch screen device.

Here are a few other winter geek chic favorites (all under $110!):

Winter Geek Chic by Chic n Cheap Living

1. Echo Design Knit Echo Touch Glove Plus Earphones, 6pm.com, $29.99 (from $36)

2. Pour La Victoire Arken Convertible Cross body bag, Last Call, $70 (from $175)

3. Lenticular iphone 5 case, Kate Spade, $45

4. Tommy Hilfiger jacket soft shell hooded, Macy’s, $109.99

Marc by Marc Jacobs oyster leather Natasha crossbody bag would also be a great functional bag and a small splurge!

    That iPhone case is really cute, I bought me a pair of touchscreen (tech) gloves last year and I have to say I loved them so much.

    • Chic 'n Cheap Living January 22, 2013 at 10:06

      Cool! I wondered if those tech gloves were worth it so its good to know they work great.

    i have gloves that look like those, but they were from target for .70 cents. i know, i’m way too frugal! i love the idea for this post 🙂

    • Chic 'n Cheap Living January 22, 2013 at 10:05

      My dear, being frugal is a great thing and .70 for gloves is a score!

    I’m totally with you on the devices. It’s amazing how dependent we are on them. I really need to look into getting a pair of tech gloves.
