Star Wars Fashion for the Star Wars Movie

Yesterday was probably a geek girls dream. I treated myself to a decaf Almond milk latte from the awesome coffee shop in the 'hood - SuperCoffee.  Then had a blast recording several new podcasts for the D&D game I'm in. Yes, I play D&D and in this game I'm a hesitant doctor who prefers to use her sword.

STAR WARS!!!!

I don't have an outfit for you today.
I don't have any wise words for you today.
I don't have any witicisms for you today.

A Casual Day...

...calls for casual clothes.  Though, as we all know I'm never all business-y anyway.
But having been blessed with come milder weather, I made sure to take full and complete advantage.

Star Wars, Mini skirts, and Toques.

Perhaps not the most logical of things to put together. But despite my love of all things Vulcan *yes, I did reference Star Trek in a Star Wars post, the two can get along, let's move on* logic does not always motivate my actions. Often it's whim, gut, and in the case of fashion, pure whimsy.

Star Wars Competition Sponsored by Disney and Mercedes-Benz

World Mastercard Fashion week is always nuts. This time though I can't go to any shows because of my schedule. The one thing I made time for was the Star Wars design competition sponsored by Disney Consumer Products and Mercedes-Benz Star Up Competition, because well, it's Star Wars.  We all know what that means to this geek girl.

You Say That Like It's a Bad Thing

Many people, most really, when they first meet me are surprised to learn about the raging nerd I am.

Here's To Our Friendship Flaws

I have very imperfect friends. Some overshare, some drink too much sometimes, some say stupid things at the most inopportune moments, some can be harsh ...basically they make mistakes and have flaws, and are human.

All of them are well meaning, and caring, and accepting, and honest.

I can tolerate a lot as long those things are present. Tolerate isn't the right word. A lot of things don't bother me because of the presence of the others - that's a better way to put it. In fact, I count on my friends being imperfect, because that means that they'll hopefully be forgiving of my own imperfections. Of which I have many, and I try to surround myself with people who will forgive me when I say/do something stupid at the most inopportune of moments knowing that I probably don't mean it, because I'd like to think I'm well meaning, caring, accepting, and honest.

You Can't Take the Nerd Out: Star Wars Vans

Top - FreePeople  //  Jeans - Dittos via UO  //  Beanie  - F21  //  Bag - Lucky Brand *hand me down*  //  Star Wars Shoes - Vans

Regardless of what may come. Regardless of shifts in my style. I have been and always shall be a nerd. *Anyone catch the Wrath of Khan reference?*

So when a good friend shared a picture of the Star Wars Vans his wife got him.  I immediately commented with, "WHERE?!?!!?"

They were on sale, and the next day I had called to have them set aside in my size, because there was no way I wasn't getting a pair.  Now, I have A New Hope on my feet, and it makes my geeky little heart sing every time I look down at my feet.

Which I do a lot now, and I really wish they'd stop putting poles and people right in front of me suddenly.

You Can Take The Girl Out Of The Nerd...

...but you can't take the nerd out of the girl.  Clearly, my nerd-dom still rides strong and free.  To be fair, no one has as of yet taken the girl out of the nerd either as I took these pictures on the way to my WoD role playing game meet up.  That's like Dungeons & Dragons gaming but in a post apocalyptic world.  Yes, I am that big a geek.  This is all to say that you just gotta be proud of who you are.

Sharing a Room With a Jedi

Star Wars Tank - F21 // Jeans - Gap // Shoes - Lulus

Everyone needs a casual day.  Here's mine.  Not only was I motivated by comfort, but also a cool dream where I was bunk mates with Luke Skywalker (the Mark Hamil "return of the Jedi" one).  It was total genre mixing, because we were fighter pilots on the Battlestar Galactica and bunking in those four to six person dorm style rooms, but he was clearly a Jedi master.   He had the top bunk, because clearly when you're a Jedi master you can have any bunk you want.

A Tribal Cardigan and Star Wars Tank Will Not Win a Toddler Over

Even a cozy tribal, aztec cardigan *which my daughter likes to cuddle in* wasn't enough when I came home.  She had been having fun all day, and when mommy came home she was having none of it.  She came up, and instead of the usual hug, I got a firm shove out the front door.

That did not feel good.

And then the following day she did not want me to leave.  Ugh, kid, can you make up your mind?  It's really tough when you play roly poly with my emotions like this.

She's lucky she's cute.

And that I have a steady supply of wine and chocolate.
