Two investment pieces I picked up on Friday: Bubble-hem swing skirt by Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, Zebra print top by Junya Watanabe. I'm in love with them both.
Today my mom and my sister and I headed into Dallas to do some thrifting and get lunch. Pictures were snapped along the way. We hit three of our favorite thriftstores-St. Vincent's, Genesis, and an amazing Goodwill in Irving.
Worn with my Comme des Garcons sandals-these are seriousely some of the best shoes ever!
We stopped for lunch at Patrizio's-some of the best atmosphere and Italian food in Dallas.
After polishing off a vegetarian lasgna, I shared shared biscotti (dipped in chocolate of course) and cheesecake with my mom and Carol. Could barely get out of my chair after finishing. Kinda gross but sooooo tasty you guys!!
Stopped into Anthropologie to check out some furniture.
Clock my mom's new Comme des Garcons brogues-so jealous! Are you jealous?? I'm jealous! I mean I've never seen anything like them! So special.
Yeah today was so much fun! We got some great stuff at the thrift store.
Spring break just started for me and I am so happy to not be in school. However I've got a lot to do this week and it's shaping up to be not much of a 'break'. Most of the things on my to-do list are pretty fun so I'm not complaining.
I'm going to be in Austin next week-I'll be there Thursday through Saturday. I'm hoping to catch up with some stylish SXSW concert-goers there, I'll be stalking around town with my camera. Shoot me an email if you're there and maybe we can catch up-hoping to attend some cool parties and snap pics.

It would’ve been great to meet you though. Maybe some cash will appear and I’ll be able to make it.
If not, have loads of fun. You look great in your new pieces :)
love the experimental structure of the garment, powerful colors and geometrical shape.
The skirt has such a whimsical quality to it and the silhouette is absolutely gorgeous.
And you even have blue toenails! I like that.
great look son cool..and I’m jealous too!!!!
oh I love patrizio’s!! the one in highland park is so nice when you sit outside :)
I love the shoes of your mum, uauuuuuuuuuuu, fantastic look from BARCELONA

i wish my mum even knew what commes des garcons are. she’d probably think it was a kind of fish food :/

Love the new pieces and as always your CDG shoes! I hope you have fun in Austin! I’m heading up there Thursday or Friday to do some vintage shopping and hopefully San Antonio afterward. A coworker reminded me of SXSW just yesterday! Maybe we will bump heads :)
the CdG shoes are stellar! That color of blue is just brilliant.
LOVE!
Super cute. That zebra top is amazing! Have you seen the zebra cuffs that OAK carries? Probably wouldn’t go with that specific outfit but now that we know you like zebra….

muah.
Is your sister wearing Ben Simon Shoes?
sooo cute!
Just so you know, I am so inspired by this blog. You take chances and don’t care what people think, and have a refreshing and playful approach in your sense of style. I think it is fantastic that you totally transcend your age. Keep it up! :)
Jane
i live in a place where abercrombie and fitch is cool. everyone loves american eagle and hollister and everyone’s closet is full of horizontally striped sweaters, uggs, and bows! everyone always straightens their hair and never leaves the house without their dooney and bourke handbags that they got on sale at tj maxx. i think your blog is very inspirational to people like me who don’t want to follow every stupid trend and look like everyone else. the only problem is that i can’t afford a ton of clothes and find myself often wearing the same old plain t-shirt and jeans. so i guess i could tell you that you look stunning like everyone else has done (which you do, please dont think that im saying that you dont) but i really am just asking you for help so… HELP!
damn gurl, you rock my world. like an elepunk!
Hi Jane! How are you? I love, love, love this.
LOVE that dress, it is absolutely gorgeous and I wouldn’t dream of parting with it either! You are so lucky!

junya wantanabe is one of my favorite designers, i’m so jealous of your beautiful clothes!
those heels are pretty amazing.
Love the Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair skirt—they’re always a favorite of mine. When you’re at SXSW, you should make sure to check out my friend Nanna’s band, Oh Land, they’re insanely good…
xxx,
Tiffany
i love your skirt jane!! i also like how you matched your toes to your shoes =D.

So glad you’ll be coming to Austin! I’ll keep an eye out for a fabulously stylish blonde girl with a camera… :)
I wish i can rock pouffy bubbled skirt like you! You look fab! Im gonna go take a peek at your store now! ;)
Hello from Holland!
It’s so funny, I stumbled (pun sort of intended) upon your blog after getting these shoes through yoox and trying to find out which season they were from. I lust after anything in this Yves Klein blue hue (my favorite collection EVAH is Viktor&Rolf’s FW2002 ‘Long live the immaterial’), so I adore them! What’s even better (if not for me…) they list them again in size 36 (about a 6), 37.5 and 38 for 260 euros (<350 US). AND in yellow and pink. YAY! I do hope it is not just a European listing (and yes, I know about those balenciaga heels from last year…) This blue has popped up in various places again this spring – happy me! Keep up the good work Jane (and Mom) – and support those hard working North-Italian shoemaking families (like I support the American apparel industry, it's a tough job but someone has got to do it ;o)).
BTW: Browns will be listing those YSL cage shoes (form your logo) soon. ROARRRRRRR.
Enjoy your happy feet!
Rose
My God! You can’t beat the volume on that bubble skirt ;)
Do you not find the shoes a bit hmm * clumpy * to walk in?
stunning colour though,
I love the skirt !,,
Hi Jane,
I’m a big fan of your site and your amazing style. I own Kick Pleat, in Austin: http://www.kickpleat.com
I’d love to meet you in person if you can swing by. We are located at 12th and Lamar.
Have a great time in Austin and at SXSW.
Sincerely,

i LOVE the CDG shoes. checked Barneys- nothing online. looks like a special order????
Cute skirt! And those shoes always look great with everything; such a unique color!
It’s so much fun to see how Swedish design slowly starts to establish international! This outfit is great and the shoes are to die for.
My god, I LOVE the color of those shoes (AND the shoes in general) ! Simply amazing (And so is Comme des Garcons). And the skirt is lovely too ! : D
I think i fell in love with your outfit. It is just… Perfect :)
Kisses from Paris.
Sounds like fun! Have fun at SXSW, wish I was there.
Hi! I love your mom’s CdG brogues. Could you please post a photo of how they look from the side? From what season were they? I would love to get my hands on a pair. Thank you very much and keep up the wonderful posts!!
I love this skirt! So FUN! Your mom’s brogue’s are amahhzing!
awesome shoes! beautiful!
Hey girl!!
i added you as a friend on facebook!
i’m from France and i’ve been kind of obsessed with your blog for over a year now, and i’m soooooo disappointed you’re going to Austin this week and not the week after, because i’m going back there (i used to be an exchange student there last year) and i would ‘ve loved to meet you!
You look gorgeous, Jane!! Love the boots and the sandals.
On a side not, I would like to know some online stores that are relatively or very cheap. Living in Turkey doesn’t exactly give me the best thrift stores…
Thank you! And keep being lovely.
stop by the kvrxplosion party at Ballet Austin on Thursday night.It’s a great lineup and it’s being hosted by the university radio station, so there’s bound to be some stylish college students there (myself included, hopefully). It’ll be a great time!
I have to say that you look amazing
I’ll be in Austin then as well. I don’t have an actual pass, but my friends and I are hitting up some free shows. As for the night parties down there, most of the good ones are 21+ (and they DO card), but there’s lots of other things to do anyways. I’m hoping to do a lot of shopping down there too. :)
This is my very favorite outfit so far!! beautiful!!
ohhhh that’s a crazy skirt. *AM in love with it*
i love those cdg shoes… i was watching the same pair on yoox for a while, just couldn’t do it this time. looks great!!! now i wish i had gotten them.
p.s.
how do they fit? are they true to size?
love the cdg sandals, and loving the new atlantis vintage site – fabulous.
oooo! i love you and your mums kind of quirky fashion sisterhood! xx
Your blue heels are HOT, the color really suits you. But I love your mom’s brogues *drool*!
Beautiful!!
Your shoes are just beautiful! I love it. And your dress is amazing
I Googled ‘best shoes ever’, and I found someone wearing these LOVELY blue sandals. They’re VERY pretty, I must say. Your outfit togeather was quite creative, and so was your mother’s. You two have quite good sense of look.
