Freaky Fashion

I'll admit, I never went through a really rebellious angsty teen phase in high school. But I did live vicariously through the angsty teenage lives I watched as I went through my couch potato phase (a phase I'm still in and hope to never grow out of if I'm being completely honest). While there are many angsty TV teens to discuss, the one I admire most has to be Lindsay Weir.

There were many lessons to learn from Freaks and Geeks. From balancing different social circles, to sneaking out of your house for the fist time. But realistically the only lesson I actually transferred into my boring life was how to dress like Lindsay Weir.

Lindsay's go-to outfit is a timeless look. She's a character going to high school in 1980, on a show that aired in 2000, wearing an outfit that could easily be spotted around campus in 2015. To recreate Lindsay's badass look, you first have to find an oversized, army green jacket. Pair your jacket with awkward sweaters and a chronic grumpy face and you're good to go.

Bonus points if you find a young James Franco look-a-like to follow around.

Gilmore Girls Glam

Full disclosure here, I was late to the game on discovering the pure bliss that is Gilmore Girls. I only started binge watching last winter, and I still have a couple of seasons left. That didn't make it any less exciting though when I heard the news amazing enough to even make Jess Mariano smile: a Gilmore Girls revival season is coming to Netflix.

The Gilmore girls have taught us many lessons. How to have a borderline inappropriately close relationship with your mother/daughter. How to drink gallons of coffee a day to survive the struggles of every day life. And most importantly, how to dress- sometimes.
There have been a few questionable outfit choices throughout the years in Stars Hallow (i.e. anything either one of the Gilmore gals wore in Season 1), but overall I'd say there's a lot to admire fashion wise in the Gilmore clan.
If you're feeling extra preppy, get some inspiration from Rory's Chilton uniform. Future Ivy league look isn't really your style? Have no fear, Lorelai has you covered for style-spiration in everything from mom on-the-go to budding business entrepreneur. And if you still don't think you have enough inspiration from either of the Lorelai Gilmores, you can always copy Emily's timeless, classy ensembles. Better yet, go for the classic backwards hat/flannel combo Luke always pulls off.

Doctor Who Style

I don't know if most people associate a nerdy British TV show about a time traveling alien with fashion, but I sure do. I haven't actually gotten to see any of the latest season of Doctor Who, but the recent news about bringing back Ten and Donna for an audio series really got me thinking about how much I miss my guilty pleasure go-to binge watching show.

Along with all the changes in time, galaxy, and universes that happen throughout the course of Doctor Who comes a lot of costume changes. Here are a few of my favorite outfits from throughout the seasons.

1. "The Idiot's Lantern": The 50s were a good look for Rose and Ten. What's not to love about the denim jacket and pink poodle skirt paired together? And Rose did a great job running around saving the world in those kitten heels.
2. "Angels Take Manhattan": Arguably one of the saddest episodes (and I say arguably literally because I've gotten into arguments about this), also features one of my favorite outfits of all time on Doctor Who. Although extremely simple, I think Amy's jacket with her striped shirt and jeans is so perfect. Also, I still can't get over the fact that the Doctor then wears the glasses that Amy leaves. So many feelings. 
3. "Robot  of Sherwood": I'm reluctantly including this one, because even though I love the dress I can't stand Clara. Pretty much my least favorite character on any show. Ever. But, my hatred towards her aside, I really love this dress. I think it's the perfect dress to set the tone for the fairy tale-like episode. She look like she walked straight out of a story book.
