Wearing vintage silk pants, sheer tank top, YSL cage booties, and Proenza Schouler sunglasses
So last night I was taking these pictures in my dad's front yard when he comes running out of the house telling me to get in the car and find shelter because a tornado was on its way towards us.
I think everyone who has lived in north Texas is used to tornado scares but this one came pretty close. Our houses and dogs were fine though. Waiting out storms is so boring-even more boring when they knock out your power for a long time.
I didn't get to take any pictures of the storm-bummer!
Shelley was a little traumatized by it all, poor baby.
Well, in other news....eye love my YSL cage heels.
One of your simpler looks , absolutely stunning...
and the cage booties are gorgeouuuss..

I love the ribbon that you've tied in your shoes! So creative and pretty. And you look fab - those trousers are to die for!

Ugh, I D.I.E. over those shoes!
Posted by: ShoeZq | June 11, 2009 at 10:31 AM
I love your shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great look!
Classy, fabulous!

INSANE shoes!!! In my eyes, ribbon is NEVER wrong!! :)
--and that's scary with the tornado! I live in Houston, and we don't have them as much as farther north, but my next door neighbors shed was picked us and MOVED about 8 years ago--It's was scary, and it's still sitting in the new local-close to the back of the property. :)

Ha, eye love them too. You look stunning here. I'm in love with those silk pants, they're such a great fit! Were they an ebay purchase?
Posted by: Hannah | June 11, 2009 at 10:36 AM
That's definitely one of my favorite iterations of the cage boot-- sure to become a classic!

if a tornado came to vienna, the last thing i'd think about would be taking a picture of it (or maybe not? I am asian after all), because vienna's so small it'd all be wiped out :P
I really love the pants. very classically skinny. your hair looks especially nice! did you change something?
Posted by: Victoire | June 11, 2009 at 10:51 AM
wonderful shoes !!
Posted by: Lucie | June 11, 2009 at 10:54 AM
Nothing like a pair of cage heels to keep you entertained during a storm! Lovely sheer tank top also
It would be mine
Posted by: Georgia | June 11, 2009 at 10:58 AM
I love this outfit.
One of your simplest and one of you best.
As for the storm, I know exactly what you mean.
Lightning almost struck my backyard here in Southlake.
I've been waking up to the sound of thunder.

Posted by: Aline | June 11, 2009 at 11:06 AM
Jane, this outfit is FANTASTIC. You never cease to amaze.
Posted by: Isabel | June 11, 2009 at 11:08 AM
Gorgeous outfit, beautiful shots too.
I work at H&M and we have similar pants for sale there,
I tried them on and they look more Super Saiyan on me,
And less amazing like they do on you,
But just to let you all know...
We've got some similar ones :)
Posted by: Cad | June 11, 2009 at 11:14 AM
Beautiful beautiful YSLs!!!! Very chic outfit.
Shelly is so adorable! I hope she's ok after the storm, poor baby.

I love that last picture! Very artistic! Keep going with that! It looks like you've got a knack for it.
Posted by: Dana | June 11, 2009 at 11:31 AM
Your shoes are so amazing. they look really good with the white/black combo you wore with them. your dog does look a little frightened. i hope nobody else was hurt by the tornado.
Posted by: Miss Red | June 11, 2009 at 11:35 AM
MY GOD! this sandals! I'm jelous! great look and the last pic.... it's stunning!
Posted by: Punkie | June 11, 2009 at 11:35 AM
i love that little ribbon that comes around the shoe. it really makes it.
tornadoes are scary!! but im more familiar w/ hurricanes, atleast you have advanced warning with those.
is the garage the shelter?
Posted by: Prêt-à-Porter P | June 11, 2009 at 11:35 AM

Being from the Netherlands it is really hard to image what it must be like to wait out a storm, we never get tornados here. Your outfit is stunning, especially the shoes. Love the YSL's your mum has too though!
Posted by: Mariëlle | June 11, 2009 at 12:21 PM

Those shoe reminds me of a 3D-blueprint shoes :D Love it, though its not my favorite. Your outfit's ok, for the first time i'm seeing you putting on something simple and not diva-ish. Keep it up, for variety purposes. ;)
Posted by: StyleAntagonist.wordpress.com | June 11, 2009 at 01:03 PM
My mom LOVES tornadoes - she'll spend an hour on youtube watching clips of them. We never get them in VA though. I love the simplicity of your outfit - very refined.
Posted by: Hannah | June 11, 2009 at 01:18 PM
Hi Jane, The cage sandals are beautiful and perfect. <3 Ava

Seems so scary with tornados.
Love your blog! :D
Posted by: Nell | June 11, 2009 at 01:31 PM

Posted by: is | June 11, 2009 at 01:50 PM
Poor Shelley :(
Posted by: arline Jernigan | June 11, 2009 at 02:11 PM
I thought I wasn't going to be able to leave the house today because of that tornado watch. Did you hear the massive thunder this morning?! Texas has the most random weather. Tomorrow it's supposed to be really hot.
Posted by: Vi | June 11, 2009 at 02:19 PM
I love how you were non-chalantly taking photos
right before a tornado!!! Glad you made it safe!
You look SIX FEET TALL in those pics, love the outfit!
Especially the shoes.
Posted by: Christine | June 11, 2009 at 02:20 PM
i love this more refined and sophisticated outfit, but i think the sunglasses really ruin it!! the shape does not fit your face at all and they kind of look like alien eyes
Posted by: m | June 11, 2009 at 02:21 PM
Wow, scary!! But on a lighter note, I LOVE the outfit and the shoes! The ribbon is such an amazing touch. Imagine how awesome it would be with those whit circular SS08(?) Preonza sunglasses . . .
