I’m not exactly sure if I should call this crochet item a jacket, a sweater or a coat but nothing gets me more excited about style than DIY projects. I’ve known how to sew for as long as I can remember and learned to crochet at the age of 12. I find that I appreciate the items that I create much more than the items that I buy in stores.

I wish I knew how to write an understandable pattern so I can help others to create but I did this on a whim and created my first tassel outerwear a few years ago. All I did was follow a similar technique when I created this.

Although I love bright colors, there’s something about grey that just exudes the perfect neutral and easy to pair with almost anything. I paired this with other neutral hues because I wanted to keep it simple with sequins (yes sequins can feel quite simple to me LOL).

I paired this velvet plush jacket with my favorite black thigh-high boots that provide a bit of edge featuring zippers, then added a Zara sequin crossbody as well as Express sequin shorts.
