Hello my fellow Geeks! I always have a totally good time when I share with the world my love for my favorite fandoms. One of my favorite ways is by wearing graphic tees and tops. I. Love. Graphic. Tees. I probably own more graphic tees than any other clothing item in my wardrobe. Not only are they cute, comfy, and casual, but also they help me express myself, and show what a big ‘ol nerd I am. During my workweek, I typically wear dress tops, but on weekends I always break out the graphic tees, like my totally awesome new tops from Totally Good Time!
Totally Good Time
Totally Good Time (TGT) is a pop culture based brand. The shop features handmade apparel, accessories, and more! My favorite thing about Totally Good Time is they carry mostly graphic tees and sweaters, which as I mentioned before is totally up my alley. What’s unique about their graphic tops is the minimal typographic design. The majority of TGT’s apparel has phrases on them referencing some of my favorite TV shows and movies, such as Stranger Things and Harry Potter.
Recently, I received 2 tops from Totally Good Time: A Scoops Ahoy Ringer Tee (Stranger Things), and a Hogwarts 1991 Sweatshirt (Harry Potter). I’m in love with both of these tops! Without a doubt, I’ll be wearing these tops on future weekends while I explore the city, which is one of my favorite things to do. During my explorations, I love finding new murals around Chicago, just like the ones seen here. In the city, there are so many murals that I’ve yet to discover.
To show off my Geek pride, and love for Geek fashion, I put together a mini lookbook of me wearing my new Totally Good Time tops around Chicago.
Scoops Ahoy Ringer Tee
If you were to ask my boyfriend and I what our current favorite show is, we’d without a doubt say Stranger Things! We love the characters, the music, and the 80s meets sci-fi plot. Plus, all of the Stranger Things merch is amazing! It was thrilling to find out that Totally Good Time has Stranger Things graphic tops, just like the Scoops Ahoy Ringer Tee.
The Scoops Ahoy Ringer Tee is a white crewneck tee with a black trim (or ringer). The tee says, “Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Parlor” in black text with a little anchor on it. I thought the tee was really soft, and comfortable to wear. I’m wearing a size Medium in a unisex fit. Surprisingly enough, Totally Good Time’s relaxed fit makes their apparel wearable by all genders without looking boxy. I think the Scoops Ahoy Ringer Tee looks best paired with high waisted jeans, or black overalls. What I love most about this tee is that only true fans of Stranger Things will understand the shirt’s reference, which is really cool! Watch the teaser trailer for Stranger Things Season 3, and all will be revealed.
Hogwarts 1991 Sweatshirt
In 2001, my mom first read me Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone – I was 8 years old! She wanted us to read the first book in the series because Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was coming to theatres that same year. Since reading the book and seeing the movie, Harry Potter has become a big part of my life! Still to this day, I’ve waiting for my Hogwarts letter to come in the mail.
When I saw the Hogwarts 1991 Sweatshirt from Totally Good Time, I was geeking out. This cozy and ridiculously soft maroon sweater references the year Harry Potter and his classmates started attending Hogwarts. I’m wearing the sweater in a size small in a unisex fit. I can’t wait until it gets a little chillier in Chicago, so I can rock my new Harry Potter sweater. I know it will be a conversation starter with all of the Potterheads out there. That’s probably what I love most about wearing graphic tees and tops – it brings pop culture fans alike together!
Thank You
Thank you Totally Good Time for sending me these amazing shirts to try! I know I’ll be incorporating these geektastic tops in future outfits. You can learn more about Totally Good Time, and their pop culture apparel on their website, and social media.
Also, I want to thank my friend and fellow creative, Cassie Craven. She did a fantastic job making me look fabulous as we did our “Geek Meets Chicago” photo shoot. You can find her and her amazing photography on Instagram at @cassi_lee.
