Sierra Kusterbeck is wearing the Forever 21 Leatherette Shortall ($24.80) with the Jac Vanek Live Free Crop Top (sold out).

The leather overall shorts are a bold fashion statement, and one that’s bound not to appeal to everyone. Humor blog WTForever21 writes “The only place this would be appropriate is an S&M hoe down.” What do you think: Are faux-leather overalls a faux-pas? Or rocker-chic?

Sierra Kusterbeck posted this Instagram of her Women’s Konstant Block Heel Pumps from the Payless Brash line which she is promoting. They are currently on sale for $29.99.

In this picture you can see parts of Sierra’s “older men” and apple core tattoos. Check out the Sierra Kusterbeck tattoo page for more photos of all of her ink.

On the one hand, the Instagram trend is awesome because it gives us fresh photos of musicians even when they’re not on tour. But on the other hand, a lot of the photos are so crappy that I can’t really tell what they’re wearing! Sierra looks like she’s wearing a galaxy printed top (or maybe a sweater or a dress). Here are three similar looking tops from PacSun, Hot Topic, and ModCloth.

PacSun – $24.50

Hot Topic – $24.50

ModCloth – $32.99

Sierra Kusterbeck’s vest comes from Vans’ collaboration with fashionista Jesse Jo Stark. It’s a punk tradition to take a denim vest or jacket and cover it with pins and patches, but this vest does the work for you with its stripes of leopard fabric and embroidered patches. You can buy Vans x Jesse Jo Born In Denim Vest for $69.50 at PacSun or $70.00 at Karmaloop – or find an old jacket at a thrift store and customize it yourself!

Vans – $69.50

Sierra Kusterbeck posted this photo showing off her Koolio Lace-Up Ghillie Wedges ($39.99) from the Brash line at Payless which Sierra has been promoting. She makes the open shoes winter-appropriate by wearing them over a pair of green socks.

Sierra Kusterbeck posted this photo to her Instagram wearing her Topshop Letterman jacket with a striped bodysuit and ripped denim shorts. I believe that her bodysuit is the Cotton Spandex Jersey Strapless Ruched Bodysuit from American Apparel ($26.00) and her shorts look like the Urban Renewal Cutoff Short from Urban Outfitters ($44.00). I’m not certain on either of these due to the photo quality, but Sierra has worn a lot of American Apparel in the past as well as a few item from Urban Outfitters.

Who knew Sierra Kusterbeck was a rap fan? Her t-shirt comes from Tyler, The Creator’s rap collective OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All aka Odd Future). It is their Black Cross Tee which she has cut the sleeves and collar off of.

OFWGKTA – $25.00

These items can be put together to make a look similar to Sierra Kusterbeck’s, which was inspired by Amy Winehouse. The items are very close to what Sierra’s wearing.

Versa Emerge hasn’t been playing this year’s Warped Tour, but they stopped by their hometown show in Orlando, FL for a special acoustic set in the Keep-A-Breast tent (where Juliet Simms has been playing all summer). Sierra Kusterbeck showed off her new green hair and wore the Fly Rhinestone Ring ($9.99) from the Payless Brash line which she is promoting. The ring and other items from the Brash collection are available online now and will hit stores on August 9th.

Payless ShoeSource announced the launch of their new Brash line of shoes and accessories for teens, and they’ve partnered with VersaEmerge singer Sierra Kusterbeck to serve as the face of the brand. Many of the products are already available through Payless’ webstore and the first collection will hit physical stores on August 9th. Prices range from $6 for hair accessories to $50 for boots. The line will later include beauty products starting at $3.

Brash is meant for girls who have more of a unique and alternative sense of style. Explaining their choice of Sierra Kusterbeck as spokeswoman, Payless CEO LuAnn Via says “Sierra is a Brash Girl and she embodies the brand’s personality — she has a unique tough-yet-girlie style, is tremendously creative with her music and fashion and is a perfect picture of Brash style. We are thrilled to have found Sierra and believe she is a great fit to help us inspire girls to create their own Brash looks.”

Sierra has previously expressed her love of Jeffrey Campbell shoes which are much more expensive, but she appreciates the lower price point of the Brash line. “I love what Payless is doing in general to democratize fashion and this is the first cool, edgy line that’s affordable, which is great for teens. For them, affordable is the best word ever!,” Sierra says. “I often have girls approach me and ask ‘where did you get that?’ and now I can say ‘at Payless,’ which for me is really powerful because the Brash brand can help them achieve the bold style they are after because of its affordability and accessibility. My favorites in the fall line are the Ollie combat boots and the Josie peep-toe wedges — they are sick styles and I wear them a lot and with many different outfits. The beauty items like the eye shadow roller-ball and the lip stain are also amazing.”

In the promotional photo above, Sierra holds a pair of Ollie Plaid Cuff Boots with a rose earring and a feather earring used as boot charms. On her wrist is one of the 3-pack of animal scruchies.
