Ready For Adventure

People deal with stress in many different ways. Besides retail therapy, which I truly believe works, I will once in a while just lock myself in a room for an entire weekend and play video games. I recently had one of those weekends and decided that my game of choice was going to be the original Uncharted. I have been a huge fan of the Uncharted series (read my review of Uncharted 3 here), but had never played the first installment in the series. I decided to pick it up and have a little mini marathon over the weekend to finish it. You would think that having played #2 and #3 first would make this one less enjoyable, but I was pleasantly surprised that I had just as much playing this one as I did their sequels.

So when I met Hannah and Jennie of HauteGamer, it was a collaboration meant to be. These sisters are not only style savvy, but also have a new found love of videos games. They have a great eye for creating gaming and geek inspired outfits and with me on an Uncharted high, I asked them to create an “haute” Nathan Drake look for me. The result was this inspiration board, which I then used to create today’s outfit. It’s practical, easy to do yourself, and it could easily double up as a cosplay (or even Halloween costume)!

Thanks, Hannah and Jennie, for inspiring me to wear this outfit! For more info on these stylish sisters, check out their Facebook page!
