On the dawn of a new year I've found myself reflecting on 2008. We had a historic election, Bejing hosted the Olympics (Michael Phelps *swoon*) , YSL passed away, Robert Plant made a comeback, and more importantly our country is in an economic downturn. Although, for Poor Jane economic downturn has been my current state for quite sometime so it's something I'm used to. Some of my favorite fashion moments for 2008.

Gucci:



Rodarte helped me discover my inner goth.





Alexander Wang brought ripped tights back to the runway as well as a soothing monochromatic palate.


I.D. magazine October: Erin Wasson, this photo singlehandedly changed my life.


Emma Cook does creepy granny clothes so elegantly.




I am looking forward to fashion in 2009. And as always I should make a few resolutions.

- Discover my inner grunge girl.
- Get a tattoo.
- Move to NYC.
