Our spring sandals are amazing so it got me thinking, what comes first, the outfit or the shoe?? Do you put the clothes together around the shoe or find a shoe to go with your clothing?? I turned to my friend of 20 years Ed the amazing stylist, and here's what he had to say:

"I have been working with Jane for many years now.  During this time I have not only gotten to know what kind of shoes she likes, but also to know her fashion style as well.  

A while ago when I was working on another show I came across this great skirt that I knew Jane would love.  Ever since then I have been waiting for an opportunity to use this skirt as part of one of her outfits for her shows.  

A couple of weeks ago while chatting before a "Shoe Shopping with Jane" show, she said to me:  "Why don't you create an outfit inspired by one of our shoes and I will wear it for one of my blogs?"  I said:  "Sure!"  Little did she know I already had an outfit in mind but it was not inspired by a shoe, it was inspired by the skirt that I have been waiting to use so patiently.  

As I started putting the pieces together of the outfit, I wanted to create a look that was not only fashion forward but also an outfit that represented another side of Jane that we might not get to see as often on-air.  

As a fashion stylist my responsibility is not only to make my clients look good but also to make them FEEL good about how they look.  Last week when I showed Jane the outfit I put together for her, she said to me:  "When can I wear it?"  And I said:  "when we take the pictures for the blog."  To which she replied:  "No, I want to wear it on a show!"  That's when I knew that I did my job!  I hope you like it too" -- Ed
