DIY Chain Jacket

Last month when I went to the Matthew Williamson for H&M Summer 2009 Launch Party I met one of my readers Tina who works as a Wardrobe Stylist for The Tyra Banks Show as I was leaving. When she approached me I spotted a really amazing chain jacket that she was wearing, after a small chat I asked her where she got it from. Turns out that she made the damn thing, she offered to make me one since I was so obsessed with it! Met up with her this past Friday to pick it up and she was rockin’ other diy pieces she made, she’s got skills! I couldn’t wait to rock it so this past Sunday I wore it out, so hot got compliments while shopping in Soho! The chain jacket is suppose to resemble a skeleton in the back but B thinks I look like Spiderman when I wear it haha, either way it’s dope! TINA, it was nice meeting you and thank you for the chain jacket!

    hi retrogurl. may I ask what model those chanel sunglasses are? I love them!

    Love the DIY, but where is the blazer from?? Its like the Wang color but more wearable without the cutout back!

  11. retrogurl says:

    @thanh: i think the model number on the chanel sunglasses is S2287, i got it off the inside arm. i kno these are limited edition so may be hard to find.

    @colleen: the blazer is from topshop!

    i feel bad for your jacket…can you even move your arms? either the jacket’s too small for you or that the chains are making the arm area look really tight and weird.

  13. retrogurl says:

    @jj: its not tight at all, yes i can move my arms and stretch. it’s just an illusion in the pic that its tight, its very comfortable.
