On Wednesdays my friend Brianna and I always wear something Star Wars related to work and have dubbed the day “Wookiee Wednesday.” We used to dress up in Star Wars duds on Tuesdays, but since we don’t see each other on Tuesdays this semester anymore, we settled for Wednesdays. Technically, I wore this outfit on Monday, but whatever! And in case you’re wondering, yes, I am wearing something Star Wars related today (my Rescuers/Star Wars mash-up tee by James Hance and some Rebellion earrings!).

I’m going to attempt to bring Wookiee Wednesday to Le Fancy Geek too! Maybe it’ll be an outfit post, or maybe it’ll be a toy review… who knows?! But don’t be surprised if I blog about Star Wars on a day other than Wednesday. It cannot be helped; the Fandom is strong with me.

This Darth Vader pullover was one of my Force Friday finds from when I went to Target at midnight. It’s super cozy and goes with everything! And if you saw last night’s post, you might recognize the Wanderlust + Co bib necklace I get to borrow thanks to Rocksbox. When I first opened up my package from them and saw this necklace, it immediately just made me think of how great it would look with my Darth Vader pullover. Nothing says “Darth Vader” like a fancy sparkly necklace, am I right?

BTW, 71 MORE DAYS UNTIL STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS COMES OUT!!!! Are any of you flipping the hell out too?!

It is seriously an amazing time to be a Star Wars fan right now! And also kind of terrible because all the amazing new merch hasn’t been to kind on my wallet. I mean… I know I don’t NEED to buy all these things, but I’m a terrible shopaholic and have a hard time saying “no.” Although, I am pretty proud of myself for putting down a BB-8 and Captain Phasma watch at Kohl’s last week because I told myself that I really didn’t need them. Baby steps, guys. Baby steps. Or BB-steps? HA! See what I did there. I’m so punny.

If you’re super into fancy baubles like me, you might like Rocksbox! If you’re not familiar, Rocksbox is a jewelry subscription service that loans 3 pieces of jewelry by designers such as Kendra Scott, Loren Hope, Wanderlust + Co, etc. It’s kind of like Netflix, but for jewelry! Everything comes in a fancy little box, and they conveniently include a return label for when you’re all done to ship it back. If you happen to fall in love with any of the pieces they send you, you can buy it for a discounted price too. And BTW, each box contains at least $200 worth of bling!

You might be asking, “But, Nina. How do they determine what kind of jewelry you get? Do they just send random pieces, have a set design to send with every box, or whuuut?” So lemme tell you! When you sign up for Rocksbox and become a “Shine Insider,” you take a survey so they can figure what you’re into style-wise and then you get to create a wish list. Once your wish list is created, a Rocksbox stylist will curate a box for you based on the pieces you chose and voila! 3 out of however many pieces you chose will magically appear at your doorstep! Or mailbox…. or, y’know, wherever you happen to pick up your mail.

And you’re not limited to just one box a month! Once you send back the first box you get, they’ll put together another one for you once they receive it.

In case you’re wondering, Rocksbox is $19 a month. But lucky for you, I have a special coupon code so you can get your first month for free!! Just use code CHEZFANCYPANTSXOXO when you sign up. ☺

For my first Rocksbox, I received a gunmetal bib necklace by Wanderlust + Co, a bracelet by Loren Hope, and rose quartz earrings by Kendra Scott. I thought all the jewelry was super fab, particularly the bib, and I had a lot of fun finding outfits to wear with them. As for purchasing any of them? I wasn’t totally 100% in love with any of the items and even with the discount that Shine Insider’s get, it’s still kinda expensive. The Loren Hope bracelet retails for $78, but the discount only saves you $8.

I think that the quality of the jewelry is top notch compared to some of the stuff I have from Claire’s and whatnot, so if you’re into investing in pieces this might be the perfect subscription box service for you. It’s perfect even if you just want to try things on for the fun of it! I’m trying Rocksbox out for the latter, because who doesn’t to love to play dress-up?

(check out the blog again tomorrow for more of this outfit I’m wearing!)

Don’t forget, using the code CHEZFANCYPANTSXOXO will get you a whole month of Rocksbox for free!
