LTK: July 3, 2009

As promised, here are some more low-quality Photobooth pictures of another weekend outfit. I know these are super blurry, but you get the idea. This is what I wore Friday night to see Pentagram (truly killer '70s doom metal pioneers, check them out if you haven't already) at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip:

Sorry again for the unclear photos. I think you get the cut of my jib here. (I wore this with my vintage black cowboy boots.)

The necklace is the real crowning glory of the whole outfit -- I spotted it at my friend John Boy's amazing vintage shop, Scuda, and resistance was futile. I'll post clearer photos of it next time I wear it, but until then:

There's been some debate about whether it's a bull's head or a demon's face, but if you know me, there's only one answer to that question -- it's clearly Satan, and thus clearly right up my alley. It's made up of slivers of stone covered in lacquer and the label on the back says it was made in the Philippines. I'm no expert on vintage jewelry, but I would wager it's from the 1970s. Had to have it. I'm obsessed.

Black dolman-sleeve zip-front jacket: Covet, $20, Urban Outfitters.
White deep-V-neck t-shirt: American Apparel, $8 via Trendyblanks.
Denim cutoffs: DIY'd from an ancient pair of Earnest Sewns.
Black tights: Target, $6.
Devil's face necklace: Vintage, $38, Scuda in Long Beach, CA.
Black cowboy boots (not shown): Vintage, $50, The Clothing Warehouse in Jacksonville, FL.

But the award for best outfit of the night, hands down, went to Bobby Liebling, the singer of Pentagram.

Metallic silver leather pants, green leopard-print biker jacket, no shirt, and so much great jewelry. Why do aging metal dudes have the best style in the world?
