Go Jane: go get some glasses
i’m more than willing to dig through loads of junk to find some reasonably priced treasures. and i do like a large selection. but some of GoJane’s junk are real DOOZIES. SO offensive, SO repulsive, I hardly ever go there, despite their wicked prices. they desperately need a more selective buyer, or at least one that’s slightly less blind. behold, the hideousness…
tri-color top ($17): if you wear this, beware, i might think you’re a pinata and smack you. but that’s ok, because you’ll deserve it.
white apolline jacket ($33): OMG! now my french show poodle and i can be figure skating partners!
represent bikini and senate boyshorts ($40): oh say can you see, my nips through this crappy polyester!? if you wore this to my 4th of july BBQ, i might accidently severely undercook your chicken.
nautical applique skirt ($19): i know! let’s take a perfectly passable skirt and slap on a random red, gold and blue anchor patch and ridiculously long fuschia ribbons so you will feel like you have spiders are climbing up your leg all day! wee!
scholar(??) dress ($23): if you have a habit of drinking waaaay too much goldschlager, passing out face down and then pissing yourself, this is the dress for you.
ashling shorts ($24): i don’t mind a bubble hem on a short short, but the fabric and lack of front seams on this make it look like an adult diaper. and they went CRAZY on the colors. what in the hell would you wear these with?! oh yeah of course, an adult diaper.
apprize skirt ($34): emblazoning “hindu-inspired deities” across your ass is SO yesteryear.
wyoming capris ($29): faded turquoise denim capris may be out, but dirty faded turquoise denim capris are AWESOME.
oh, i almost forgot:
mmm, taste that? i looove the piquant flavor of throat bile. delish.
all that being said, i kinda really want to buy this, this and these.

You’re funny.
Those clothes are hideous.
My eyes are hurting.
I’m feeling a lot of emotion right now.

I know I saw some of those things in my older daughters’ college’s TackyDance photos. I thought they got items at Goodwill and glued stuff on. Still, I wouldn’t think GoJane can do a justifiable business just on the yearly TackyDance demands. Especially at some of the comical prices–$34 for humiliation!
Amber, do you specifically want those flats in green? I don’t know if they still have green, but Cutesyshoes.com has those flats for $12.99.

I’ve been following those shoes that you want… I found them everywhere but Old Navy has them, for pretty cheap, and they might be better quality than GoJane or CutesyShoes.
Or if you feel like spending $60 on a pair of flats, Steve Madden makes them.

Dying laughing. Especially the GoldSchlager dress.

But I kind of love these …
Am I crazy?

oh how funny! i TOTALLY agree with you on this one. being a fashion blogger myself, i find myself going back there time and time again- and find what i’m looking for more often than not- but sometimes it’s so hard to get past these ocular monstrosities! and now you’ve said it so that i don’t have to! lol. (hint, hint, i’ll throw you a link on this one. you deserve it!)

[...] blogstress Amber had written a snippet about how the buyers over at Go Jane need new glasses (click here). I agree completely! Although this is a great website to go to for cheap duds, you do have to wade [...]

My links always suck–but in keeping with the GoJane needs glasses theme, I want to nominate this atrocity for Pigdog Proffering of the Week, from (usually very decent) Old Navy. It doesn’t look as bad in this pic as it did in the store. I stared at this thing, flashing back to my grandpa’s ancient carpenter’s apron hanging in the cobwebby basement, spider crawling out of the pocket; it looks that unappealing. Bad bad choice, O.N.!

[...] clothing, but I have to say that one of the most fun posts I’ve ever done was this rollicking slagging of the Go Jane aesthetic. I was disappointed to see that Go Jane had somewhat toned down their selection since then, but [...]

wow, i have definately thought the same thing about the site…although like you i have found a couple of pieces that are passable as part of a sane person’s wardrobe, i just haven’t made the leap to actually purchasing
