This sequinned bolero I am wearing was purchased on eBay early last week and I was thrilled to see that it was as much as a beautiful trainwreck in person as it was in it's pictures-they colors are hideous in the most fabulous way. Its like a bad piece of folk art reincarnated as a tacky 80's relic.
I haven't worn this out yet but I can already hear my friends going 'oh what is jane thinking this time…' :-P
I really should have taken a better picture of it-will do so soon.
Worn with vintage Levi's, American Apparel tank, and Bruno Frisoni shoes.
Brigadeiro says
Oh my! The jacket truly is bananas, hehe (so unique, amazing how you made it work with your outfit, which looks gorgeous)! :) Those Bruno Frisoni shoes are seriously 2D4!!!
Brigadeiro says
PS. Did you mom hire an interior decorator to deck out the house, or did she do so herself? Because from the pictures I’ve seen, it is as gorgeous as your wardrobes and shoe collections! LOVE it! Although I’m not usually a fan of those clear chairs (I mean, they look in magazine spreads, but lack ‘warmth’ and ‘come sit on me’ sort of look), I love how with the addition of that gorgeous ‘woolie fur throw’, it fixes just that: adds warmth and looks so inviting to sit on!
Sorry about the rambling :)
Haley says
Mmm, those shoes are luscious.
Tara says
That jacket is AWESOME! I’m not sure how many other people could pull it off, but it looks great on you!
Allie says
Holy smokes! It is everything you say it is. It is amazing.
rebeca says
you look like one hell of a sexy, retro mamacita with that! you wear it well you know..cause i’d be worried about the funny factor with those sleeves but it looks classy instead!
i liked the necklaces in the background mannequin too!

Harm-ony says
Its an amazing piece _ love the green nail polish :D
ISTilettos says
I have been following your blog for a few months now. I just had to say something after this post :) I am amazed by the way you carry pieces that are so hard to pull off – especially for a 16 year old. I am still trying to define my own style. It must be great to know what you like and what looks good at such a young age :) Keep up the great creations! I am sure you are an inspiration to many.
:))

sorry.
i just couldnt resist.
arline Jernigan says
Yes, please give us some ebay tips…
What a fun garment.
jo says
i think it’s really great. somehow friends are less accepting (approving sounds a bit harsh?) of slightly outlandish wear… is it a universal thing? haha
Wax says
dammit, you’re fierce!
a la mode says
fantastic bolero and great shoes!
kate says

THANK YOU!
cheng says
i LOVE the hideousness of the jacket.
connie says
I’m glad you kept it simple. I could see how people could make it look 100x more tacky than it already is. But you just have enough to make it pop without overdoing it.
Kristina says
its perfect, but only because you are wearing it.
Juley says
your shoes are BANANAS
madeline says
Oh my gosh you really can make ANYTHING look like a million bucks!
ryder says

elizabeth says
jane.

BEST
THING
EVER.
I WANT IT !
White says
I die.
On another note, those cozy ghost chairs are delicious.
Julie says
Love the jacket on you.
I am also a fan of the chairs. A friend of mine has them in her dining room, and they are supercute. I think they came from highbrowfurniture.com
stefanie says
it’s totally bananas.
great combination!
Becca says
Bananas indeed. That is one crazily shiny colourful 80’s moment ine one garment. But somehow you make it work? You’re a brave lady, but you pull it off!
Saree Elias says
OH MY FREAKING GOSHH! I LOVE THAT BOLERITOO! LOVE IT IM IN LOVEEE JANEEE!! KISSES!!
Thedoc says
First time commenting but long time reader! Love the whole look, including the coffee cup! hihihi
betty says
the jacket is really ugly
WendyB says
Awesome jacket. You’re lucky I didn’t find it first!
R says
Sorry Jane, not even you can pull off that appalling jacket. It looks somewhat decent sitting down, but I’m sure that’s just the work of the angle and camera. Standing up, I’m sure it looks appalling. Starting to try too hard. Where’s your once effortlessness?
rachel says
AMAZING BOLERO!!! AMAZING OUTFIT!!
I’m from israel, so you can see that your outfits are evaluate even here haha..
This sea realy seduce me to swim in…
Eden says
Hilarious- “starting to try too hard” when she’s doing what she’s always done ;)
I have an urge to deconstruct the jacket…into something.
Eper says
Definitely bananas! Only you could pull it off!
Been watching The Rachel Zoe Project?! :D I DIE!!! Love that show! I just discovered it on youtube yesterday and I watched the first 5 episodes nonstop.
mybeaumonde says
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT… I WAS BIDDING AGAINST YOU FOR THAT JACKET!!!! it is the most amazing thing i have seen ever and i thought i would never see it again but i click on your blog and there you are sitting smugly with it (and rightly so!) i actually swore out loud to myself and my boyfriend is now thinking i am crazy! well… if i couldn’t have it i’m so glad it went to a good home! x
mybeaumonde says

eliza says
Oh wow, I had wondered if anyone was actually going to buy that bolero. I recall seeing it on ebay; it is definitely a perfect fit with the rest of your wardrobe. You make it work.
belle fantaisie says
those shoes are a m a z i n g. your whole outfit screams ‘cool’
Ida and Hannah says
The bolero is great, but the shoes are amazing!
Carolyn says
Gorgeous jacket, gorgeous shoes, cool a$$ chair and I have the same coffee mugs…haha. :) You have great style!!
tindi-rindi says
I love the jacket itself, but I think more like an art piece than an item of clothing. It looks delicately made and definately by a funky person :)P You wear it very nicely indeed.
Stompface says
Wild wild bolero! And shoes too actually. I am pretty much in awe of your blog.
Sunset says
Trainwreck yes… but it works so good. Love it!
liz says
perfection!!!
Mizztissa says
What sort of hat might you wear with this?
heh
Marina says
Do you know “Zadig & Voltaire”? it’s clothes really pretty !

Hi everyone. Never make a defense or an apology until you are accused. Help me! Could you help me find sites on the: Aggressive stock picks. I found only this – gary shillings stock picks.
