Are you a costume person? Do you have your Halloween outfit all picked out and ready to go? Over the last few years I haven’t done much dressing up. But this year I feel inspired.
I threw out a bunch of ideas because they were too expensive, or too cold, or too involved, but then hit upon one that involves all the magic elements: layers for warmth, boots, a belt, and braids: Princess Leia, a la Return of the Jedi. Think more tie dyed ponchos and less metallic bikinis:
My all time favorite outfit of hers is the white snowsuit, with the vest, the gloves and the crazy blue boots in the Empire Strikes Back.
I think she’s in that jumpsuit (ahem, spacesuit?) almost the whole movie…
Anyhow doing some research for the fast approaching holiday I came across all these gorgeous Carrie Fisher as Leia photos.
This one is my favorite:
You’re welcome.

Thank you for these images! I was thinking of doing the Leia-comfy-foresty costume for Halloween this year, and was searching frantically for images, and came across yours. Great minds think alike! 😀
(Did you end up making the costume yourself?)

I didn’t!! I totally just lamed-out or something. This year though! Oh yes…
🙂 Good luck with your costume! And thanks for stopping by!
