Each month, Coast Monthly peeks into the closets of some of the most fashionable people on the Upper Texas Coast.
What Jane is wearing: A sleeveless, silver-studded black dress by Joseph Ribkoff from Casanova’s Downfall; Calvin Klein black and silver heels; Tiffany sterling necklace with heart pendant; gold bracelet; and James Avery silver ring and silver hoop earrings from Francesca’s. “This dress is pretty versatile. I can wear it to a luncheon, a cocktail party, dinner, just about anywhere. I always have on my gold bracelet that belonged to my mother and my Rolex watch.” Photo by Irene Amiet
