I seriously cannot believe in just 2 days time, I will be seeing The Force Awakens. Although my love of Star Wars only began this year, it’s become my favorite fandom and I literally couldn’t have picked a better time for this to happen. There’s just so much Star Wars goodness out there right now and the community of fans is just amazing. Let’s just say I’m geeking out 🙂
To say I’m excited to not only see the movie is a big understatement. However, I’m just as pumped to dress up for the movie as this will be my first big movie event that I can dress for. I’ve been planning my outfit for some time. I wanted to give a nod to my beloved Vader, so this is the Darth Vader Casual Cosplay outfit I’ve put together for Friday night.
I already had it in mind to wear these leggings. They’re from Old Navy and have faux leather going down the side. I paired it with this bustier top from Torrid. I LOVE this top so so much as it’s a little edgy and fun. I also have a black cardigan to go on top – kind of like a cape.
I made the necklace myself earlier this week and I’m so happy with how it turned out. It was my first attempt at the portrait style charm, but it worked well. I also picked up the new Star Wars Alex and Ani Imperial Crest bangle and the earrings are also from Torrid. Last, I created that fantastic hair bow using acrylic paint on a bow I picked up for $2.
Obviously I needed a tiny pop of red in my outfit, so I went with my favorite red bow shoes. I think they add the perfect touch to the outfit.
Last but not least, my Star Wars Dooney and Bourke bag. This baby was supposed to be my Christmas gift, but it’s making her debut early for Star Wars Christmas.
I’ll be doing some Star Wars cover girl style makeup and not sure on the hair yet, but I do know it will include my awesome bow. I’ll be sure to post pics of me in the outfit so everyone can see.
What will you be wearing to The Force Awakens?
That bag. <3
You are going to look SO CUTE! Jeremy won't take me to the premier. He says it'll be too busy and we'll go another weekend. Blah. I feel like such a loser because everyone I know is going. 🙁 I'll be over here… looking at my unfinished house, rocking my Star Wars shirt.
This is the old Stars Wars D&B, which although I do LOVE the new ones, I’m glad I have this one.
The theater will definitely be crowded, but it’s my first real movie release night experience so I’m kind of looking forward to it lol. Plus, our theater lets you pick your seat when purchasing tickets, so at least I won’t have to fight for a good spot 🙂
Oh that’s kind of brilliant. I bet that would save a ton of headache if they did that here.
Yeah that new bag is freaking gorgeous and I want it. But maaaaaan they are pricey. I’m already trying to figure out my Christmas gift and trying to keep it light. Blah
Yeah these bags are expensive – I suckered my husband into allotting some funds for it by making it a combined passing my nursing boards and Christmas present.
I love the Alex & Ani bracelets. I have a collection of them and was hoping to add the Star Wars to my stack – but there are Disneyland exclusives:(
Im going tomorrow at 750! I cant wait I am going to wear my Darth Vader cosplay apron dress. I got it from etsy a few years back and now the lady has a real website and you have to wait forever to get one of her items so I am super excited to get to wear it out. I am going to wear my galaxy tights under it and some short boots. I suck at makeup but Ill try something…. I am even off work for this I cant wait!! I cant believe its tomorrow!!
You are going to look amazing!! Love your outfit!! I do hope you take pics of you all glammed up. 🙂 We have tickets for Friday night, and while I’ll probably be in my standard outfit (re: all black haha) I’ll be sporting my Stormtrooper purse from Sent From Mars!
I will most definitely post pics as I’m just so excited to wear this. I so desperately wish I had a Sent From Mars clutch – they are the most amazing bags ever 🙂
Oh my word, this is so perfect. I love it! You’ll have to post pics for sure!
Thanks – I’m so excited to see it all together and on 🙂
I have never seen someone go from 0 to 60 in a fandom so fast, it’s been fun to watch!
I did really go from 0-60 🙂 It’s such an epic and timeless fandom – and all of the promotion and cool products have fueled my fire haha.
Absolutely love this!! (:
Thank you so much 🙂
This is a fabulous casual cosplay outfit! I lovez it so!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Thanks, love! It was fun wearing it 🙂
