Inspired by Jane and Dan at the End of the World by Colleen Oakley
Slip into that bright yellow, pink, and blue dress, grab your equally vibrant purse, and pop on those bold pink floral earrings—tonight, you’re stepping into the main character energy of Jane and Dan at the End of the World by Colleen Oakley.
This isn’t just an outfit; it’s a declaration—of confidence, reinvention, and maybe even a little chaos. Just like Jane, who finds herself at a turning point, this look is about embracing unpredictability with style. It’s playful yet strong, a mix of bold hues that say, I’m here, I’m vibrant, and I’m ready for whatever comes next.
But why stop at just dressing the part? Take it one step further and set the scene for your own unforgettable night with a Jane and Dan-inspired dinner setup. Picture a bright yellow, pink, and blue outdoor dining table, where the colors are as lively as the conversation. A set of colorful wine glasses clinking under string lights, laughter floating through the air—because even if life is uncertain, there’s always room for a little celebration.
Just like Jane and Dan’s unexpected adventure, this moment is about rediscovering joy, connection, and maybe even a second chance at something you thought was lost. Whether it’s in marriage, career, or simply yourself, this outfit—and this night—remind you that the story isn’t over yet. In fact, the best plot twist might be just around the corner.

About Jane and Dan at the End of the World by Colleen Oakley:
Jane and Dan have been married for nineteen years, but Jane isn’t sure they’re going to make it to twenty. The mother of two feels unneeded by her teenagers, and her writing career has screeched to an unsuccessful halt. Her one published novel sold under five hundred copies. Worse? She’s pretty sure Dan is cheating on her. When the couple goes to the renowned upscale restaurant La Fin du Monde to celebrate their anniversary, Jane thinks it’s as good a place as any to tell Dan she wants a divorce.
But before they even get to the second course, an underground climate activist group bursts into the dining room. Jane is shocked—and not just because she’s in a hostage situation the likes of which she’s only seen in the movies. Nearly everything the disorganized and bumbling activists say and do is right out of the pages of her failed book. Even Dan (who Jane wasn’t sure even read her book) admits it’s eerily familiar.
Which means Dan and Jane are the only ones who know what’s going to happen next. And they’re the only ones who can stop it. This wasn’t what Jane was thinking of when she said “’til death do us part” all those years ago, but if they can survive this, maybe they can survive anything—even marriage.
