[WAYW] The Force Awakens Week: Welcome to the First Order
The First Order may be the next generation of the Empire but that doesn’t stop them from getting a style upgrade. Just look at that new crest! And the new stormtrooper armor!
First Order Dress: Mighty Fine
Leather Jacket: H&M
Grey Tights: Hue
Black Pumps: BCBGeneration
Sunglasses: Coach
A few notes on this dress: First, it’s very short. I’m 5’6″ (so a little over average height) and it juuuuust barely covers my butt. It may work better as a tunic/with leggings but heyyyyy fashion! In all seriousness, this is probably something that anyone above average height will want to avoid if you’re looking to wear this as a dress. There’s also a weird fit issue around the arm pits that’s been noted by several others. Short version: try this dress on in the store first. (It’s available at Macy’s.)

There’s a little film called Star Wars: The Force Awakens coming out this weekend and we’re going to celebrate the only way we know how: by throwing it a fashion party. So jump on board the Millenium Falcon because Chewie, we’re home.
Oof…yeah, that’s the problem I have with the whole skater dress trend. I’m 5’8″ with a Na’vi long torso so skater dresses are a no-go. Sadly, it appears all the fun geek girl dresses are skater length with odd waistlines. How I long for the days of longer fit-n-flare dresses! Ah well. Maybe one day.
