*reduced* Charlie & Robin Knit Vest




Super cute wool-blend vest from Charlie & Robin! Purchased at Anthropologie and worn 2-3 times. Perfect for fall, winter, and early spring. This piece is fun and easy to toss over a plain top and be worn with jeans, a skirt, or over a dress. Very cozy and warm. The only reason I'm giving this up is because I scarcely wear it. Button closures with clasps between. Great seams and cap sleeves to add structure; awesome bow detail.

Anthropologie button-up tunic-lice shirt, small








posted on behalf of Katie

Button-up, slightly tunic-like shirt, from Anthropologie's house brand, size small-- fits true to size. (I apologize again for the blurriness of the photographs!) This has more of a charcoal color than has shown in the photos. I paid in the neighborhood of $70.00 the January before last. I did wear it a handful of times last year, but it's in unflawed condition. The subtle but awesome details here are what sold me-- the rainbow colors on the stitching, the cool and funtional buttons on the placket. The sleeves are three-quarter length, but are adjustable. This shirt is so easy to wear, and I got a lot of compliments on it-- as subtle as the details are, they are apparently noticeable, and very cool. No fabric content is noted, but this is a cotton blended with maybe rayon?-- the fabric has just a bit of stretch to it. I'm asking $18.00 inclusive of shipping in the US. Listing ends a week from posting date. Please email katie at katiekentuckychambers@gmail.com with any questions. Thanks!

Shiny Black PF Flyers, size 7 1/2





posted on behalf of Katie

A pair of shiny black PF Flyers, size 7 1/2, bought in the Nashville, TN boutique Posh several years ago now (I apologize for the blurriness of the photographs!). I don't remember what I paid, I'm thinking probably around $100.00 before taxes. I wore these no more than twice indoors, as evinced by the flawless quality of the soles. It's no fault of the shoes, I'm just not a flats kind of chick! The little object tied into the laces is a weird old ring I found one day and attached on the spot! These will ship with the little found ring attached, but it's simple to remove it if you choose to. I'm asking $25.00 shipped in the US. Listing ends a week from posting date. Please email katie at katiekentuckychambers@gmail.com with any questions. Thanks!

Samuelson Top


posted on behalf of Katie

I just bought this super-cool shirt from Samuelson (formerly, Maya Rose) here on LoGE a couple of weeks ago (I've used her photo here), and it's fantastic. It's a size small, made of vintage deadstock fabric, one of a kind. It retails for $90.00, and I paid around $40.00 shipped for it. I'm only passing it on because the pink doesn't go with my skin tone. I've only worn it to try on, and it's in perfect, unworn condition. I'm asking $28.00 inclusive of shipping. Please contact katiekentuckychambers@gmail.com with any questions. Listing ends a week for posting date.

J Brand Jeans, size 27



posted on behalf of Katie

J Brand jeans, size 27/4. The fit is listed as "cigarette". These fit large on me, so I'm passing them on. I paid $120.00 on sale the winter before last. I wore them maybe three times maximum.I wash all my jeans inside out on the coldest setting and air-dry, so they're been taken very good care of! They're in perfect condition. Sorry for the wrinkles-- they've been stored, but I'll steam them before I send them off! I'm asking $25.00 shipped. Please contact katiekentuckychambers@gmail.com with any questions.

Betsy Johnson Dress, size 6





posted on behalf of Katie

This is a Betsey Johnson dress, size 6. This was the first significant piece I ever bought-- about six years ago, I paid $340.00 for it at a Betsey Johnson boutique. It was the only one left, and I always intended to have it tailored to my size, but never have and have never worn it. I hope it will find a cool new home here. I've always thought of it as my Alice-in-Wonderland-dress.The belt is removable and the belt loops are string. The skirt is lined, and for some reason the content is not listed, but based on its feel I think you can machine wash it without any issues. It's totally unworn, and completely unflawed. I am asking $45.00 shipped, which is a complete and total steal, but I really want it to go to someone who loves it and will wear it. Please contact katiekentuckychambers@gmail.com with any questions. Listing ends a week for posting date.

Dieppa Restrepo Gray Cali Oxfords, Size 6

Posting for Carly





Description:
I bought these Dieppa Restrepo Cali Oxfords in gray from the Steven Alan store in LA and while I absolutely love the look and fit of them I already own a pair of the cali oxfords but in a patent gray/blue and the colors are too similar for me to keep both. 100% genuine matte leather and 7/8 in wooden and rubber heel. These oxfords are super comfy and I wear mine all the time!

Condition:
Brand new, never been worn, only tried on at the store. I no longer have the box because it was just a plain white cardboard box so I just recycled it.

Price:
paid $264 (includes tax), asking $199 shipped (includes delivery confirmation)

Corey Lynn Calter Brown Satin Peplum Waist Jacket






Here is a Corey Lynn Calter jacket in a sumptuous chocolate brown satin. It has a strong 1940s vibe and will look as good for the office--with a pencil skirt--as for going out--with jeans and heels. In either case, it will look smashing with a narrow belt around the peplum waist. It's for when you want to look professional and business-y without having to wear a dark blazer. And it's for romantic dates when you want to look both sexy and classy. I love the pleating detail on the sleeves.

I wore this jacket 2x for business-y occasions--a conference presentation, an interview

Size: 6 (true to size)
Paid (sample sale price): $60-80?
Asking: $18 + shipping
