I’m always rummaging around the discounted/clearance section of stores like Target to see what great items might be found that would be great to use for crafts.

In the spirit of The Dark Knight Rises coming out this Friday, the look for this week is a Batman themed ensemble.

A lot of my geeky outfits start with one piece, and grow from there. This Batman themed outfit was no exception. I started with the leggings, and the rest of the look pulled together naturally after that!
