new york body armor

Dress: H&M. Body chain: Courtesy of Armor Jewelry. Shades: Ray Ban. Bag: Thrift DIY studded. Boots: Vintage Fryes
Last year August, Sandee from Armor Jewelry sent me this long earring.
Fast forward to last month when I visited her at a New York soho boutique now selling her gorge body pieces. This UME body chain stood out to me while going through all her pieces and Sandee was kind enough to send it to me last week.
It looks like a normal heavy chain necklace when wearing a jacket (till a wind gust shows a flash of more chains). I wore it with the long H&M dress you saw me get here and my old Fryes.
I noticed it gets long looks (mostly from women) on the packed subway train (at least it did this morning and this evening coming home).
ps. speaking of jewellery. Jesus people, the interest in that cross ring is unreal. I am actually reading all the comments so keep them coming and I’ll pick someone and ship it off (worldwide).

    Love that dress. When you got it in the sale, it was still new in london. Bit annoying, but gonna hang in there and see if it ends up on the clearance rail!!

    yeaah. totally don’t get the mad interest in the ring, either. especially since the chain sleeve is waaaay cooler.

    i need quick way to get $230 so i can buy that freaking awesome body chain! sigh, probably won’t happen, but it is seriously the best harness i’ve ever seen. so perfect to toughen up a floaty dress, just like you did here.

    Oof in luuuurrrrve with that body chain! If I had $230 to spend… 🙁

    I’m already seeing it w/ my one-shoulder dresses/shirts! Where does it clasp? Under the arm AND behind the neck?

    The dress is a super cute buy. Navy blue is my new fave – it’s so fresh and almost as perfect to me as black 😉
