I don’t know if it’s exact, but you can get a black and white striped turtleneck like the one that Hayley Williams wore in Los Angeles from Juicy Couture. Their Skinny Striped Turtleneck is $54.99. Hayley is wearing it with her new denim jacket that she seems to wear all the time now.
This isn’t the sharpest photo, but I believe that Hayley is wearing the Light as a Feather Ring from her friend Dakotah Rae’s jewelry line. This ring is available for $44.95 in 18K gold plated or $34.95 for sterling silver.
Dakotah Rae has also worked with Paramore to turn to the bars logo from the Singles album cover into a necklace which you can buy for $15.00 on Paramore.net.
You can get similar pairs of leopard skinny jeans from Tripp NYC:

Hayley Williams is wearing the Plaid Cotton Lycra Skirt ($69.00) from Betsey Johnson’s lower-priced Pink Patch line. It’s also available from Elly’s Couture where it is currently 50% off.

Hayley Williams got this custom denim jacket as a Christmas present from her boyfriend Chad Gilbert, who owns a studded “Pop Punk’s Not Dead” jacket himself. The jacket was made by Michael Torres of Wartime Collective using patches from some of Hayley’s favorite bands.
The jacket itself is a classic Levi’s Trucker Jacket which you can buy at Urban Outfitters for $78.00. Visit studsandspikes.com for a huge selection of diy studs and tools. Hayley’s rounded conical studs are Punk English 77 Studs.
The three black bars on the back you should recognize as a symbol of Paramore’s current three-member incarnation. Hayley, Jeremy and Taylor all have matching tattoos of a rectangle with three bars, the symbol used on their Singles album cover.
On the front left (Hayley’s right) is a logo for Kid Dynamite, who Hayley’s other denim jacket also paid homage to, and on the right is Slick Shoes. On the back is a patch from mewithoutYou with lyrics to their song “Leaf”: “However much I strut around, However loud I sing, The shining One inside me won’t say anything.” There is an image of Black Flag singer Henry Rollins drawn by cartoonist Mitch Clem with “WWHRD?” (What Would Henry Rollins Do?). On the bottom left is the pink dove logo from the band Further Seems Forever.
If you’re going to customize your own jacket, you should of course use patches from bands you like. But since this is a blog about finding Hayley’s clothes, I tracked down all of her patches. You can get the Kid Dynamite Cat Logo patch for $1.50, Slick Shoes bear patch for $1.50, Henry Rollins patch for $1.00 or $1.75, and Further Seems Forever patch for $1.50. All of these patches are available at Interpunk, where you can find patches from loads of bands at good prices. The mewithoutYou patch is cut from their elephant t-shirt (£15.99). I believe the Paramore bars were custom made. You can cut rectangles out of black fabric or Singles Cub members can buy a Bars T-Shirt for $15.00.

Hayley Williams wore the Betsey Johnson Sailor Girl Intarsia Cardigan on Paramore’s January 2012 Alternative Press cover. This nautical striped cardigan has gold buttons and an anchor embroidered on the chest. The back features a knit design of a pin-up sailor girl. It is from Betsey Johnson’s spring 2011 collection and it’s currently sold out. Check out more photos of the cardigan:
Hayley’s good friend Dakotah Rae recently came out with a jewelry collection, and naturally Hayley has been wearing a lot of it. At top she is wearing the sterling silver “Zip It” zipper pull earrings ($49.95). There isn’t a necklace like the one Hayley is wearing, but there is a chain and velvet “Chain Reaction” bracelet ($9.95). I wouldn’t put it past Hayley to have turned the bracelet into a necklace, but who knows.
Hayley wore the Skeletons in the Closet Maxi Dress from DimePiece Designs ($48.00) at a meet and greet in August. She is wearing it under a one of a kind studded Wasted Youth WW2 Girls Vintage Jacket from Coco de Coeur ($85.00).
Back in May, I posted about the “Milk Kills” tee and silver lamé overalls that Hayley wore from designer Jeremy Scott‘s Fall/Winter 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection, but they were never made available for purchase. (If you are one of the few that can afford Jeremy Scott, see the list below for stores selling other pieces from the collection).
Now Tripp NYC, another brand that Hayley has worn a lot, are selling a pair of Silver Metallic Short Shorts for $29.50 at Hot Topic. It’s not overalls, but it’s close! The Hot Topic website has styled them similarly to Hayley, showing them worn over black tights.
Paramore and Fueled By Ramen have started selling their own version of the teal B.O.Y. tank top which Hayley wore during Paramore’s South American tour this February. They’ve done a good job of replicating all of the details of Hayley’s homemade top including the line of stitching across the front and the high-cut back.
If you aren’t familiar with “Beware Of You,” abbreviated “B.O.Y.,” it is a phrase that Hayley came up with to mean that you are your own worst enemy and that you are in control of your own success or failure (read more about the meaning here). “Beware Of You” is written three times on the back of the tank while “B.O.Y.” is written in large letters on the front. The back of the tank also features three black bars — a symbol of Paramore’s current three-member incarnation.
You can buy this tank for $25.00 in Paramore’s merch store or you can try your hands at making your own version which scissors and a Sharpie. Hayley made hers from an American Apparel Tri-Blend Racerback Tank.
