Gwen Stefani's Winter Jacket Has a Retro Television Feel

— December 20, 2009 — Celebs
The weather outside may be frightful, but Gwen Stefani's test pattern jacket is delightful--if you're a fan of retro TV, that is. Her winter warmer reminds me of fond days in the 80s wiggling rabbit ear antennas on tiptoe so we could catch a football game on the tube.

These shots of Gwen Stefani in her test pattern jacket were snapped in London by Just Jared photographers. Check out the gallery above for more.
