    No matter how much you try to keep your inner nerdiness and Facebook addiction on the down-low, we are living in a digital age, so it's about time you openly embrace it -- in and out of the closet!

    Although her big VMA moment may have been stolen from her, I'm more than ready to give Taylor Swift her much-deserved video props! After all, it takes some serious talent to make a role as the ultimate bookworm as heartwarmingly adorable as she does. In her award-winning video "You Belong With Me," Taylor goes geeky and shows that you don't need to be cheer captain to win over the quarterback -- just be your adorable girl-next-door self! She's so endearing, in fact, that I'm ready to break out my inner nerd in hope of finding my own Prince Charming! Cady in "Mean Girls" learned the hard way that disguising your smart side is no way to make a guy swoon, so take after Taylor and embrace your closet geek in a modest button-up blouse or marching band jacket... then go glam in a gorgeous night-out dress that'll wow them when they least expect it! Click "See Video" to watch Taylor's cutest video to date, then scroll through the slideshow for some looks that'll take you from your desk to the dance floor! Photo Credit: MTV.com
