Pink Keds, Size 9






Details:
Classics, in a funky color. Keds Original sneakers in dark pink with white contrast stitching. These are in great condition and look nearly new. I think I wore them once, maybe twice. I love my Keds (wear my navy ones all the time), but I think there's a limit to how many tennis shoes I need, and 2 pairs of Chuck Taylors + 2 pairs of Keds = more than enough.

Size 9

Condition:
Excellent. The canvas and the insole look like new. The white rubber shows just a little bit of dirt.

Asking:
$12, includes shipping to US (international shipping would probably be more - just ask me if you're interested and I'll let you know)

Target Grey Gingham Bib-front Dress



For a little dip in the low-end ...

It's a Target gem. I bought this last summer. Lots of ladies on flickr have rocked this dress. Oh, how I wish I could, too. But it wasn't for me, no matter how I tried. I never wore it, but I kept it around, thinking I might try to shorten it into a top, but I never did. Now I think it needs a new home.

Details:
Short, sleeveless, and breezy. Perfect for steamy summer heat. Or if you're too tall/modest to wear it as a dress, layer it over skinny jeans or leggings. Bib-front, with buttoned placket. Pleated at back. Grey and white. 100% cotton.

Size Medium

Measurements (taken flat):
Bust: 17 3/4"
Length: 34"

Condition:
Great! Never worn, though I did wash and line dry it once, and I tried it on repeatedly.

Asking:
$10, includes shipping to anywhere

Listing end date:
ENDED, Thanks!
