Are you still riding that Rogue One high? We’re still riding that Rogue One high. (Don’t talk to me about the Cassian Andor Problem I have now. I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS.) (Okay but actually more on That Problem in a week or two.)
ANYWAYS. Fairly close to Rogue One’s release, Hot Topic finally came out with their inspired collection and… honestly, I wasn’t terribly impressed with most of it. This sweater was definitely the standout though if you’re a fan of the cold shoulder trend! More importantly though, please check out these boots I found for this outfit. I’m not a huge fan of Steve Madden because they don’t fit my feet well but these are so damn cute for such a reasonable price that I’m tempted to buy them right freaking now.
It may be a few weeks later than expected but the Her Universe website is finally back! Now available are both a bunch of brand new designs along with plenty of older designs. (As a note, you can now get some of the previously Hot Topic exclusive designs directly from Her Universe! Consider it a benefit of the acquisition.) If you sign back up for the mailing list, you’ll get a coupon code for 25% off your entire purchase. The code is good for 14 days.
There are a lot of cool new features on the website including a calendar for conventions etc where Ashley will be making an appearance. Fangirl of the Day is back wants your nominations. Also, you can now filter the website based upon size and by fandom. Honestly, it’s well worth it to head on over to the website and check it out. Even the logo is sparkly and new!
Most notably though, Her Universe will have a brand new Leia shirt in honor of Carrie Fisher. The design can be seen in the tweets below and says “Self Rescuing Princess.” All proceeds from the shirt will go to charity. Expect to see it hit HerUniverse.com within the next week.
Some of my favorites from the new pieces are below. I suspect the denim jacket is going to be very popular. And there’s even a blanket available!!
You can read our entire livetweet of her Facebook Live video below or watch the entire video for yourself. Some of the highlights include that we’ll be getting an Ahsoka collection, a Loki collection is coming in the fall, the men’s fashion line will be called Our Universe and hitting around Christmas, AND we’re finally getting a Hera Syndulla shirt for Star Wars Celebration. (more…)
Look, I LOVED Rogue One a stupid amount and while I may have ended up with a Cassian Andor Problem, I also really liked Jyn because HEY GIRL I get you and I also don’t care to smile frequently.
I won’t lie and pretend that I wasn’t thinking of Jyn when I bought this jacket a few months ago because I totally was. It may not match the shirt/vest combo she wears but it just felt right. The rest of the outfit came together from there. (Just pretend those are kyber crystals on the necklace.)

So here’s the thing: I have a KOTOR problem by which I mean that I have been desperately in love with the Knights of the Old Republic games since I first played them back in 2014 and I still love the hell out of them. In particular, I fell for Revan who I firmly believe is definitely a woman of color and not the bland, dark haired dude that seems to be the default for so many games.
POINT IS I love Revan and when I saw some of the looks from the Valentino Spring 2016 collection, they definitely made me think of her and what she might wear from the high-fashion fancy looks on our world. Without further ado… the dresses!
I know, you’re shocked: it’s Bria doing a Black Widow outfit and not Lin but it had to happen eventually! But hey: when you get a cute new cardigan and you wear it as a part of your work outfit on a day when it’s really nice, taking pictures for a geek fashion blog seems mandatory.
Bonus: I was reading Black Widow: Red Vengeance on the metro on the day I wore this to work and it was COMPLETELY BY ACCIDENT
Black Widow Cardigan: Elhoffer Design
