Hey lovelies! The Chain Gang is back with yet another vintage swap & giveaway! If you're a regular to my blog than I'm sure you've seen our past vintage swap/giveaway's HERE, HERE,and HERE. The Chain Gang was created by Tanya from the blog November Grey. Tanya thought up the concept for bloggers across the country to get together and share their passion for vintage and thrift clothing by swapping one piece and individually styling it. The initial swap involved myself and Tanya and then we invited Noa from the blog Secondhandstar, and Devon from Devon Rachel. Our goal is to keep The Chain Gang growing strong, so make sure you follow us all to keep up with all the fun! Even if you aren't a big vintage/thrift fan, hopefully our vintage swaps will inspire you to give it a try... it's amazing what you can find and coming up with creative ways to style the piece is half the fun... {the thrill of the hunt is my fave part about thrifting}.

This ahmazzzzing piece that we are all wearing is a southwestern print jacket with fabulous bright colors. Devon found this great piece, and one lucky reader will be the new owner of it! ;) As you can see, each of us styled the jacket in our own unique way. We didn't tell eachother how we were styling it, and we didn't share our photo of our look until the day before we debuted this giveaway. It was a complete surprise, and that's part of the fun! The jacket is very versatile. I paired it with bright pink vintage high-waisted leather shorts and a simple black v-neck. Dev paired hers with high-waisted dark denim, a simple black tee, and an awesome gold necklace. Her look is classic and chic. Noa gave the southwest jacket an unexpected romantic twist with bow-tie blouse... how clever! And Tanya gave the jacket a quirky yet edgy feel with her striped blouse, leather shorts, and black frames. I think we all did a great job of styling this gorg piece and now you have the chance to make it your own!
