Chain Gang: "Farewell to Summer" Vintage Swap + Giveaway!

Vintage_Swap_Collage_

Hey loves! It's that time again! Time for another vintage swap coming to you from the Chain Gang! :) If this is the first time you've seen one of our swaps, then be sure to check out our past swaps:
Seashell Skirt
Orange Wrap Skirt
Champagne Pants
Southwest Jacket
Sequin Jacket

The Chain Gang was the brain child behind the lovely Tanya from the blog November Grey! Tanya emailed me one day and said, "Hey, want to start a vintage swap?" Of course, those that know me know that I was immediately smitten with Tanya's idea and of course I wanted to start a vintage swap! How fun! :) Later the swap grew and we invited Noa from Sunset and 5th and then Devon from Devon Rachel. Since then, the chain gang has nearly doubled size with the additions of Jenn from The Suburb Experiment, Sarah from Living Goldie, Yola from Yola Thorp, and last but not least Lacey from A Lacey Perspective. Unfortunately we were unable to get all of our players involved for this swap, due to the busy hustle and bustle of summer! But! Have no fear, we will have a great fall swap to show you in the next month or so! So definitely stay tuned for that!

The whole premise of this chain gang swap is to unite girls that love to thrift or vintage shop and have them all share one item, and style it individually. We want to inspire others to give thrift and vintage shopping a chance, because it's the ultimate treasure hunt and you never know what you can find! Also, by each of us individually styling the piece we find, we are able to show you how one piece can be transformed into a variety of outfits. Pretty fun, huh? We think so! ;)

For this "Farewell to Summer" swap, I chose the item and went with this floral short-sleeve jacket. It can be worn open or buttoned-up, but I decided to wear it open for this outfit. It has gorgeous gold/pearl buttons that go down the front, and the vibrant floral print makes it the perfect starting point for a stellar outfit. I decided to go the "mixing prints" route, since that's one of my fave things to do with a great print. I paired the floral jacket with a striped 3/4 sleeve tee, a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans, and some pyramid studded kitten heels to finish off the look. My look is a mix between comfy casual and girly.

  80. What a great idea. Love the way this is styled.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I love how you all chose to style the jacket with classic stripes! Such a great look and proves great minds really do think alike.

    for a daytime look,I would style this jacket with; denimocracy pale lemon yellow jeggins, a white gap pure pocket v neck tshirt, zara black asymmetric heels and barry m lip paint in peach.

    For an evening look; the topshop twist rib skater dress in black, zara black asymmetric heels, a max & chloe gold monogram necklace and a simple black vintage clutch purse (because every outfit needs a little vintage!)
