Cute little thrifted jacket w/ new silk boxing shorts
This little 80's jacket my mom picked up at Salvation Army on Tuesday is killer. I'm so into it! Sadly it is not mine for keeps. Expect to see this cutie on the vintage site soon.
I love wearing these little bandage tube tops in the summer-I got mine at Mango last year.
I had fun playing with it though.
These glasses were purchased at Buffalo Exchange in Austin for eight dollars. Kinda goofy but a little bit good too I think. Speaking of goofy, aren't I great at doing my hair? Oh geez...
Givenchy wedges...oops is that a blister I see? Ouch. Whatever.
Whoever gets this jacket is a lucky lady. It'll be up next week I think. I'm not in charge of that stuff so I don't know for sure.
The silk boxing shorts are Dries van Noten-purchased at By George in Austin. I'm in love with them! I'm thinking they will be perfect for Tokyo this summer-they're light and airy and perfect for humid weather.
My mom used to sell to By George back when she had her line. I'm going back to By George soon and can't wait to do a post on their amazing store.
*I realize I am way, way behind on my email-hopefully I'll get back to them soon. Things are so crazy with the school and the blog. Seems like they are constantly at odds. Gotta budget my time carefully. I have so much homework due next week not to mention a scary, scary test. (DP Biology...shudder...anyone who's ever taken a higher level IB Biology course knows what I mean)

I like your hair! It goes with with the outfit! I love your jacket but I in deep love with the silk shorts! Aah.
You're so inspiring Jane :)

I'm loving everything except the color of the bandage top with the rest of it. I'm not really feeling the red with the colors in the jacket. Just my two cents, but I'd probably have gone with black, or a color that contrasted with the pink of the jacket.
This is one of my favorite outfits of yours. Very cool.
Cool shades. And the jacket is great too. Sorry you can't keep it!
very nagel-esque, no?
and Dries just keeps getting better.
<3
The jacket is so great. I also love your lipstick in these photos, it's a super-flattering color on you!
Yeah! IB! Rock on! This is my first comment despite lurking for ages, but just wanted to say I love your blog and that jacket is amazing.
wow, i love this outfit. and it's thrifted too! so original with a vintage flair.

Cute short Jane!!!!
I was just at those stores in Austin. I thought the buffalo had some great stuff. being from chicago, it had the perfect amount of texas vintage to bring home as a souvenir instead of typical souvenir things.

Sharp, edgy jacket...Love it!
I used to teach DP Art at an international IB school. As you know, it's very challenging, but such a good program. I feel for you. Good luck w/ the test!

I really love that jacket! If I wasn't budgeting, I'd be anxiously waiting for it to show up for sale. And I think the glasses rock. You should keep them because such few people could pull them off.

Looking lovely as usual.

i'm so glad i'm dropping it next year

that jacket is killer!
what a great find!! Im a major thrifter and I am jealous :)
Good luck on your biology exam - I wasn't in the IB program during high school, but I now do lab work as a graduate student in biology (well, bioengineering, but close enough!) ...all day every day. I love it, but it makes my clothing quite on the boring side. Ah well. I live for days off that are far and few between...
Also - my best trick for blisters is using liquid bandage before even putting my shoes on! Works wonders :)
It goes without saying that you always look amazing and absolutely stunning.
I love your lipstick! What is the shade/brand?
yuck - i remember IB! i was an IB diploma graduate way back in the day ;-) good luck!
love that jacket with the new silk shorts! by george is FABULOUS and i'm so glad you got to visit Buffalo Exchange too!
I freakin' love this outfit! The picture with you in front of the window is amazingly awesome!!
love the jacket and your bag!
great outfit. i am seriously in love with the jacket by the way!
Great outfit! espesially the shoes:)
You look great! I kind of like your messy chic bun, actually. Oh, and sorry about the blister :( I always get them when I wear lovely shoes!
Good luck for your test! Your jacket is sickkkkk!! x

Grey and pink! A delicious combination. And with the sharp lines and smart lapels, that really is an awesome jacket.
Congrats to whoever gets their hands on it!
OMG, those shoes are just 2D4! Was so upset when I thought I bought the Dries Van Noten multicoloured (blue) sandals from By George online, only to be told several days after I 'purchased' them that they sold out :( They stock awesome stuff though! Would love to see the store IRL!

That jacket is just amazing and I do love the glasses!
