Friday Fashion: Star Wars Cosplay for Lazy People

I love Star Wars.  I'm pretty sure you realize that by now.  Do you love Star Wars?  Do you want to dress like your favorite characters but lack the time, energy, or money to do so?  I have a solution.  All of these items can work separately or together for a lazy yet awesome cosplay.

Darth Vader is probably the easiest guy to dress like.  Here are a few of my favorite Darth Vader items.  (and yes, I am a Jedi, but that doesn't mean you are, and I am totally cool with it if you want to dress like Darth Vader or any other Sith)

This is a hoodie that you can zip all the way up past your face. Click the picture to see what I mean.
This apron is perfect for those people who enjoy their barbecues with a side order of cosplay.
You probably shouldn't wear this shirt if you're a female, or you can't tell guys "My eyes are up here!"
There are some pretty cool options for R2-D2.  These are my favorites.

This one zips up past your face too, but it looks kind of weird if you do that.
This is a really fun option for ladies. And it's handmade!
And then there's Chewbacca.

This would be a super cool winter coat.
And if you want to dress like a stormtrooper but don't want to wear the traditional stormtrooper suit, try this hoodie on for size.


I'm not affiliated with any of these sites and will not earn any money if you purchase the products I shared.  I just think these items are pretty cool and I wanted to share them.

"Little girls are not weak; they are very strong." - All the Days Before Tomorrow

I am watching this movie on Netflix right now, so I'm not sure yet if it's good, bad, or in-between, but this quote resounded with me. This guy says, "Do you think I'm weak? I'm a girl, right? A little girl... ", and the other guy wisely replies that little girls are strong. I think that it is very important to let girls know that it's okay to be strong. So many girls are taught that they can only be princesses, and not that they can be superheroes.

Around the Neighborhood: Wallingford Street Art


Here's some pretty cool street art that I walk past after work if I walk to Wish.  I think it's pretty cool, so I wanted to share it.  I love how happy the house is to play with his airplane. Adorable.

Friday Fashion: An Outfit for Adventures


Ella from Moth de Lune sent me some cool stuff, including the feathers I made the earrings in the photo up there with.  (She's super cool and she has a great giveaway going on right now. Go follow her blog already!)  Sadly I had a earring casualty and I lost one of the owl charms off the bottom of one of the earrings I was wearing.  I have other owl charms but I don't think feathers are very charm-friendly.  Charms are too heavy for feathers.  Lesson learned.

I wore this outfit for my park, pizza, Street Fair adventure last Saturday, and it was a fun adventure.

This outfit is completely free/thrifted aside from the belt (Forever 21), and the necklaces, which I made.  Boots from Goodwill, jeans from Crossroads Trading Company, shirt and blazer from Assistance League Thrift Store, and hat from Amazon.
