She-Bible Sweatshirt of Awesomeness






I am so sad to let this She-Bible sweatshirt go. I bought it a few years ago at Sodafine in Brooklyn, 1.) because She-Bible is awesome 2.) the color is absolutely perfect, a muted dark pumpkiny orange 3.) it's a sweatshirt, but not just any sweatshirt, because it has rounded pockets! and gathering! I have to say goodbye because the tops of the sleeves and the bust are a bit snug on me, and I can't justify it sitting in my closet any longer.

Style Description: A perfect shirt for fall! 100% cotton fleece top with round pockets, and gathering at the bust and cuffs. The sleeves on this shirt are the big to-do here, they have a beautiful shape which is somewhat fitted at the top, and bells out at the gathered cuffs. It's cozy and not plain at all, perfect for a chilly fall day. Handmade with love in San Francisco by sustainable clothing company She-Bible.

Size
: Medium

*Measurements*

Shoulders: 13.5"
Bust: 16" (x2)
Length: 24.5"

Condition: Clean and like new. Only worn twice.

Paid: approx. $100
Asking: $35 + $8 shipping / $15 international(PayPal only).

A fuchsia LeSportsac messenger bag. I loved this bag but no longer use it. It should go to a good home! Please note from the pictures that there are some small dark scuffs on the bottom of the bag.

There are two front pockets that have a velcro close, a large pocket in the back that has a zipper close. The strap is adjustable.

Condition: Used

Why I am letting it go: I don't use it anymore

Price: $15 includes shipping

End date: October 16, 2009

A.P.C. Madras T-shirt Dress





I fell in love with this dress when I saw it in the A.P.C. Madras Fall/Winter collection last year. It has a lot of great details, it is easy to wear and the color is great. Unfortunately, it's just a hair too small in the hips for me, so I have only worn it once and cannot justify it sitting in my closet.

Style Description: Easy peasy mauvy purple jersey dress from A.P.C. Madras, Fall/Winter 2008. Long sleeves with button cuff, slight gathering at shoulders, and at front and back neck band. I think this dress is perfect for layering into the fall and winter - with cotton/wool tights and flats or ankle boots, with or without a belt. 100% cotton jersey.

Size
: Large, would also fit a medium as it also looks great a bit looser.

*Measurements*

Shoulders: 16.5"
Bust: 17.5" (x2)
Waist: 19" (x2)
Hips: 19.5" (x2)
Length: 36.5"

Condition: Clean and like new. Only worn once.

Paid: approx. $120
Asking: $50 + $8 shipping / $15 international(PayPal only)
