me, my jewelry, my fashion

this is a picture of me from about a year ago or so. my friend andrea took these pictures of me at maymont for my portfolio.

i was inspired to make this necklace after seeing a fashion spread in vogue, august '06 featuring linda evangelista.


she wore a tiered and layered necklace of various size links and metals with charms down her chest. so my version was of course more quirky and focused on color and balance. i used vintage chain link and charms, erasers, spraypaint, and silver and copper hammered links. it's definitely different from a linda evangelista-style necklace but definitely something i would wear to a party. for my outfit, i wore a vintage leather top i got for $2 at a yard sale. my friend caitie found it at a thrift store for a halloween costume, but of course i saw so much more out of it. i paired it with american apparel high waisted sparkly shorts. texture, color, so yummy!
