I am so into these crazy eighties dresses right now…
lots of volume, dramatic cuts, shoulder pads, and narrow waists…
This black beauty is not mine for keeps-it's for the vintage site. Couldn't resist trying it on before it's sent to a new home. Again, you can email me or my mom if you're interested in it!
My mom and her friend Kelly were thrifting this week and Kelly picked out this incredible dress-thanks Kelly!
I am so in love with-I know I say this about a lot of things, but I really think this might be my favorite dress I own.
It has so much fabric…even though the fabric isn't the nicest quality, it feels very luxe because of the volume.
The dress doesn't look half as good without this belt, in my opinion. It's the perfect color. I like the leopard print vs. zebra print.
You really need the crazy eighties necklaces with these eighties dresses.
I hope to find some more soon-expect to see some on the vintage site soon maybe!

THOSE BLACK SKY-SCRAPER MARY JANES
lust lust lust lust lust
I’m also very very down with the 80’s resurgence. Volume in all the right places; dramatic without losing any chicness.
Bravooo

Amanda says
that zebra one is awesome! i love the bottom of it!
Hui says
The way the skirt of the first dress sort of billows and folds downwards, creating that most remarkable shape – is too lovely to behold.
I love how you’ve matched the jewellery with it. An impeccable match. :)

The drama and glamor are really speaking to me. The volume / silhouette of the first look is dead on. And it’s great how the same set of accessories works so well on different dresses. Great as usual!

There is no compliment that I can write that you haven’t read before.
Jane, you are not only a vision when it comes to fashion, but also an extremely lucky girl to have the opportunity to enjoy so many luxuries and post them on the internet for the world to enjoy as well.
Continue on your path, you are an inspiration for anyone who wants to go into the fashion industry!

Olya says
Both dresses are amazing. Shame you have to part with so many beautiful peices.
Cece says
The accessories definitely make the dresses…
I love the volume too – we are actually working with some high end couture lately and we have a fab Oscar De La Renta skirt that has loads of volume on ( posted our blog ) with a rock n roll t and a feather fedora! Accessories, accessories, accessories!
Anika says
Nooo, keep that first dress. C’est magnifique. And with that belt, its beyond the definition of dramatic.
Loooooove it!
Once again, a fabulous outfit.

Hi! I was just wondering why the photos on the vintage site are shot on mannequins rather than on you? I know it would take abit of time to shoot each one individually…but it really gives such a better idea of what the outfits look like on! and of course you look so fab in all of them! :)
