Picture Perfect Challenge: Star Wars

Ah, no cars in my photo alley today! Sorry for the harsh shadows, though, it was late by the time I came home from Dr. Shrink. 

This outfit was made possible by the Picture Perfect Challenge here on YLF. Today's theme was a 1977 Star Wars movie poster, so I decided to go for a kind of "urban jedi" look. I chose a blousey flannel to mirror the fit of the characters' robes, and I went for a mix of blue, gray, and white to recall the colors of the poster. The final touch was a silly little joke: a tiny pulley... so that I can manipulate "the force." Get it? Heh? Heh?? o_0

Interestingly, I also wore a Jedi-inspired outfit almost a full year ago, during my personal Manspiration Month challenge. A lot of things changed in a year - hair, job, a lot of the actual pieces left in my closet - but for whatever reason, I guess gray skinnies just scream "jedi" to me!

    I need to go to your flea market!  Cool bag.  Love your Jedi force (and that shade of blue).

    Silver and blue together? Love it.

    Fantastic.  I had a mad crush on both Luke and Han - that staring off into the desert picture is giving me heart palpitations!

    Rae, I love the necklace!  The blue, grey and white as inspiration looks great together.

    Too funny, Una!  I always liked Han but not Luke.  Too whiny and for some reason not cute to me.

    Oooh, this is a great interpretation complete with being totally adventure ready! Adore the action shot in #1, and double adore the pulley joke ^^
  • ElleH replied 10 years ago
    Both outfits are great. A great interpretation.

    Great action shot and terrific outfits, both of them!

    Thanks, everyone! It actually wasn't an easy challenge for me, as I don't naturally do a lot of voluminous, drapey, white robes. ;)

    Sara and Una, too funny! Han was always my fave - I guess I like a little snark. Luke was definitely whiny at the start of the series but matured as he learned the Jedi ways. Plus, Luke's single at the end, lol. 

    Aida, glad you liked the joke - it seems a very long time ago, but I was in the math/engineering/science club in high school.

    Rae, I really like your interpretation. You look very tough Jedi chick! :-) the pulley is uniquely cute.

    Love the montage at the end -- I didn't know your hair had been so long. I like BOTH looks for different reasons. Both are great takes on the inspiration. I think the long hair has the edge only because I've never seen that look on you before.

    Thanks, Day Vies! There are days I really miss my long hair. After having a good stylist, I now recognize that she could have easily fixed what I disliked about long hair. I may go back someday!
