The girl was bad… the girl was dangerous

When I first spotted these F21 silver necklaces, I knew I could put life into their cascading chains and do something wildly creative… and even though I was stoked to find them among my birthday gifts, they’ve been buried in the jewelry drawer penitentiary for almost two months. So I figured it was time to flex the DIY muscle, and the palpable result is that Michael Jackson’s iconic wardrobe seems to have been a definite influence.

(DIY blazer and studded/spiked clutch, CK cutoffs, Express satin/lace jacket, Tungsten ring (thank you Emily), Vintage necklaces, bracelet, and boots, Amazon unicorn ring and claw ring (on turquoise cross necklace), Hamsa bracelets, Forever 21 tunic, American Apparel mesh bodysuit)

Love the DIY! Definitely a creative way for using those chains and I love the bag as well. I adore military jacket, but this is one of my favorite versions by far. Great arm candy as well by the way.

Wow! The jacket looks amazing! Also I seem to remember you have some marc by marj jacobs shoes - if this is right can you tell me what the fit is like? Are they pretty small sizes?

These pictures are so lovely.:) The outfit is gorgeous & I cannot even express how much I adore your jacket and clutch; the DIY idea is ingenious and the result is absolutely fantastic! Chains have always been one of my favorite types of adornment besides studs and a few others. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. ♥
