Les Prairies des Paris Striped Flats size 36 / 6




Here's a pair of cute striped flats from Les Prairies de Paris. I bought these from another seller here a few years ago but seriously never wore them and they are in the same condition as they were then- lightly worn and really the only way you can tell is by looking at the soles. Although they fit fine, I realized I need my flats to be a little more rugged if you will. They are looking for a new home!

Size: 6, fits TTS
Asking: $25 + shipping

Listing ends Friday, April 5. I'll pick by using a randomizer. Holler if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Doma Caramel Leather Motorcycle Bomber Size M




This very soft, light, lined leather jacket has a glazed and lightly distressed caramel leather finish. It's fully lined, with a knit waistband and cuffs. Zip closure with a button at the neck. I'm generally a US 2 and it's not quite fitted on me, but not baggy either- there is room for me to layer a sweater. It's 02 which is a medium in Doma's sizing. I think it would be a nice fitted jacket for a size 4/6.

Measurements:
Bust: 36"
Shoulders: 16" across
Arms: 18" from armpit to end of cuff

Worn about 8-10 times, light wear.

Listing ends Wednesday April 3.

Originally purchased for around ~$400.
Listing price: $100 + 13.75 for shipping, tracking and insurance
($113.75 total)

Lanvin Red Patent Leather Platforms 38




I must have bought these shoes after a long day of walking around (ie swollen feet) or my feet have shrunk because I have recently found that they seem to be a bit loose on me but they are so comfortable and flattering (they give the illusion of mile long legs!) so I put some inserts in them and wore them anyway. They were worn about 4-5 times and do have a few scuffs on the heels (see the pictures below) but they are not too visible. They could probably be buffed out by a shoe/leather repair shop. The damage inside the sole (see below) is from taking out the insole.

They are 38, best suited for a US 8, perhaps a 7.5. I'm usually a US 7 with a wide foot and wear anywhere from a 36.5-38 depending on the shoe, and on a normal day these are a little on the loose side with a heel and insole insert but they may work for a 7.5 with or without an insert.

Listing ends Wednesday, April 3. Please leave your email address in the comments if you are interested.

Original price: Around ~$600
Listing price: $150 + $14.35 shipping including tracking and insurance = $164.35







Candela Studded Brown Distressed Combat Boots 37




These calf height combat boots have large brass studs, and an amazing crackled glazed distressed finish in shades of deep brown and burgundy. They are lace up (no zipper).

They are perfect for a US 7 or perhaps a 6.5.

I bought these at Saks and wore them only once, and the soles show almost no wear. The product page is still up on saks.com: http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446375043

Imogene and Willie Clarke jeans 27






This listing is on behalf of Elizabeth (thegoldenoctopus g m a i l)

Imogene and Willie Clarke jeans- I hemmed and hawed over this cult classic denim so badly and so badly wanted them to be the "ones". I wore them once- a road trip from Austin, Texas to New Orleans in an attempt to break 'em in. For one, I am petite and curvy so low rise, slouchy is apparently not for me and as much as I want to break in denim like the cool kids, I just can't wait. The fit is great as you can imagine being that they are designed by these pros along with J Brand co-founder. And the cut couldn't be more right on for spring, cropped with a tapered leg. I can't do any more justice to the jeans so I am cutting and pasting the description from the website:


 "This fit is named after Matt and Carrie's precious niece Clarke. Clarke, as a little girl - and now blossoming teenager - has always been very particular about what she wants. It runs in her genes, bless her heart. Her keen sense to detail and how things fit mirror why we took a lot of time developing this new jean style. It had to be just right... just like sweet Clarke.
Clarke was co-created by Carrie and Susie Crippen - friend, soul sister, mentor and co-founder of J Brand. Carrie and Susie wanted to create a jean together that was what they wanted to wear. Not just today, but yesterday and tomorrow as well.
Clarke is your new best friend. She is that new silhouette... skinny, slouchy, sexy and cropped. It is the new skinny. This is the jean you need right this minute."
These jeans are a size 27 with a 27 inch inseam because they are a cropped style. I was told by their style/fit pro  that it is very important to get these jeans in the size you not to size up or down. They should fit tight at first and then give and fit like a glove over time. I got them in the same size that I wear in J Brand, AG, Goldsign etc and they are true to that.  I wore them once like I said for 8 hours seated in a car- part of the beauty is that this is denim you need to break in and mold to your body not throw in the wash a million times. They have NOT and will NOT be washed in order to not compromise the authenticity of the denim. I paid $225 and am willing to part with them for $175 shipping included.
 Listing ends in 1 week. Please leave your contact info if interested!

NEW Etsy KOKOMOmade Hand-Printed Linen Tank




I saw this on Joanna Goddard's (blogger Cup Of Jo's) Pinterest about a
year ago and had to buy it but never actually got around to wearing it
(tag is still on) so hopefully someone will get more use out of it
then I did!  Purchased from Etsy Seller KOKOMOmade out of Poland who
does not seem to be selling any longer and only sold in very limited
stock to begin with (I think 4 of these were sold on Etsy).

Fabric is 100% Linen.  Color is Light Grey with Black Hand Printing.
Small printing flaw on the backside of top that is pictured (can't
really tell unless you look for it because its small and on the back -
it was sold this way).  Very loose and breezy, especially in the
belly-area.  One size and measures 18.25" Armpit to Armpit and 26" in
Total Length.  Machine wash cold and lay flat to dry.

Asking $45 (US shipping included, please email me for international
shipping rates) - with shipping from Poland, I believe I paid just
above $50.  From a smoke and pet-free home.  Listing ends one week
from today.  Please email themchenryoutdoor at gmail with any
questions or more pics.  Thanks!

Vintage Beach Scene Acrylic Summer Sweater




I bought this a couple years ago from a vintage seller on Etsy and
never wore it so off it goes.  This reminded me so much of the Stella
McCartney and Altuzarra summer print clothes from a few seasons ago,
but a cool vintage version that not everyone would have, so I had to
have it!

Fabric is 100% Acrylic so that means its machine washable (always a
must for me with vintage)!  In absolutely perfect shape with beautiful
bright colors - I don't see any flaws/stains/holes/pilling/snags...

Has an old JCPenney tag and is labeled size Medium and measures 20.25"
Armpit to Armpit and 24" in Total Length.

Asking $50 (US shipping included, please email me for international
shipping rates) - I paid $75.  From a smoke and pet-free home.

gmail with any questions or more pics.  Thanks!

Ruehl Charcoal Gray Italian Cashmere V-Neck Sweater - SZ SMALL





This sweater is from the now-defunct store Ruehl, which was
Abercrombie & Fitch's higher-end concept store.  I've had this for a
few years and have probably worn it about 5 times total (it has been
handwashed in Dr Bronner's Lavender multi-purpose soap so is coming to
you clean and ready to wear in perfect condition).

Fabric is 100% Italian Cashmere.  Size Small and measures 18" Armpit
to Armpit and 23" in Total Length.

Asking $60 (US shipping included, please email me for international
shipping rates) - I believe I paid about $100 on sale.  From a smoke
and pet-free home.  Listing ends one week from today.  Please email
themchenryoutdoor at gmail with any questions or more pics.  Thanks!

Equipment Silk Tunic Shirt, Sz Small






100% silk shirt by Equipment in a pretty blue color. Never been worn. I splurged and bought this amazing silk top but it's just too big on me so it's just been sitting in my closet. I love that it's a tunic top, perfect with skinnies or some cute little shorts underneath. There's only one imperfection: a slight run near the top button (see pic) but it's hardly noticeable when you have it on. 

Measurements: 
Total Length: aprox 31 in (from collar to hem)
Pit to Pit: aprox 20 in

Original Price: $238
Asking: $60 (shipped) 

Dieppa Restrepo Gray Cali Oxfords, Sz 36






Most perfect oxfords by Dieppa Restrepo. 100% Authentic leather. Worn a handful of times but in great pre-owned condition. Pretty slate gray color. These are incredibly comfy but I have too many oxfords so these don't get too much use. Purchased from Steven Alan. 

Original Price: $254 
Asking Price: $95 shipped (additional shipping costs for international)

Classic Salvatore Ferragmo kitten bow heels. Black patent leather. In great vintage condition! These were very well cared for and already have the topy protector soles put on by the cobbler. Marked as 5B but also fits a 5.5.

Costume National Metallic Purple Wrap Sunglasses



 I purchased these Costume National sunglasses years ago and have maybe
worn them three or four times so they are in great condition.  Very
lightweight aviator-style wraparound sunglasses.  These look straight
out of Willie Wonka to me with a cool edge to them - only selling
because I really need to downsize my sunglasses collection!  Purple
Metallic Color.  Made In Italy.  I have a pretty small head and they
fit me great but I'd imagine they have some stretch to them because of
the wraparound style.  This is not the original case, but a purple
corduroy one I purchased at Anthropology to match.

Asking $70 (US shipping included, please email me for international
shipping rates) - I believe I paid a few hundred for these.  From a
smoke and pet-free home.  Listing ends one week from today.  Please
email themchenryoutdoor at gmail with any questions or more pics.
Thanks!

Royal Blue & White Oversized Chunky Scarf

 

 


I wore this scarf a few times with a leather jacket and jeans and
really rocked the APC-inspired Tomboy look but I have way too many
striped scarfs so time to downsize!  I don't know where this is from
because there is no tag on it, but it almost looks like a handmade
item (in the best well-made way of being handmade).  Bright Royal Blue
and White.  Fabric feels like maybe a Wool/Acrylic mix - substantial,
oversized knit.  Measures 75" in Total Length and 6.5" in Width.

Asking $35 (US shipping included, please email me for international
shipping rates) - got this as a gift so no clue what the cost was.
From a smoke and pet-free home.  Listing ends one week from today.
Please email themchenryoutdoor at gmail with any questions or more
pics.  Thanks!
