Dace Molly Raincoat, Size M






posted on behalf of Kay

(first image from Dace website)

One of my favorite jackets, but doesn't fit me now to the point of embarrassment. Navy raincoat with both notched collar and hood, with button placket all the way down front in color matched buttons, cinched waist front and back with stitching detail, fold over button flap pockets with contrasting white buttons, slit at bottom center back and slight puff sleeves at shoulders (just enough for shape). The exterior cotton was originally treated with a water resistant finish, though that's probably been washed off by now (easily reapplied should you wish). There is some slight yellowing of the interior lining right at the neck, but it's not terrible and may come out with some rigorous washing.

Condition: Great overall, see above note on lining
Paid: Around $250
Asking: $80 (includes US shipping)
Listing end date: February 7, 2012

Measurements taken flat: Shoulder to shoulder - 12, Armpit to armpit - 18, Waist - 15.5, Sleeve length - 22, Length - 26.5. 100% cotton exterior shell and lining.

Dieppa Restrepo Lady Boot size 8



This listing is on behalf of Angela


Item: Dieppa Restrepo Lady Boot 
Color/Material: Ash Blue Nubuck Leather
Size: 8 (fits very true to size)
Condition: worn only ONE time, like new
Paid: $353 (including tax)
Asking: $300 shipped (extra +$10 international)
Listing ends Feb 6, 2012

I bought these beautiful Dieppa Restrepo boots from Totokaelo (these exact ones: http://totokaelo.com/store/products/dieppa-restrepo/fw11/lady/ash-blue-nubuck) after wanting them for so long, and the moment they got them in my size I bought them! This was before I saw the black - and although the blue is so lovely, I feel like I would wear the black more often. So if someone would like to buy this pair in ash blue then I can justify buying the black ones. =) I have only worn them one time since I purchased them at the beginning of January. Thanks!

A black version is currently selling for $375 on Harput's website, and a google search will yield plenty of videos/photos for how to wear the swacket :)

One-of-a-kind wool kimono sweater by independent designer Latifa Medjdoub

Posting for Claire


Dear LoGErs,

In preparation for an upcoming move, I am weeding my closet of items I love but seldom wear.

Item: One-of-a-kind wool kimono sweater by independent designer

Description: I bought this piece from Latifa Medjdoub, a French (now S.F.-based) designer and fiber artist. As a largely one-woman operation, all her pieces are limited edition, and handmade with high quality materials. Her designs are jaw-dropping (for more information, search her name on the internet or see examples of her work at http://cruststation.files.wordpress.com/2006/12/latifa-designs.jpg). This sweater is from her early Japanese-inspired collection. Kimono-shaped sleeves, with an interesting weave pattern. The top section is a rich claret colour on one side and a lighter tone on the other. It can be worn with either side at the front, with ties at the back. I love this piece, but just don’t have the chance to wear it.

Size & fabric: Fits a medium, or sizes 6-8. The variegated teal-coloured body is pure wool, but I think the upper-section yarn might be cotton.

Condition: Mint – worn only a handful of times. Some looser threads at the top right shoulder (see pic), which could be tightened or snipped. Not noticeable when worn.

Asking: Paid close to $400; asking $140 plus shipping costs.

Zero Maria Cornejo top, size Medium

Posting for Claire


Dear LoGErs,

In preparation for an upcoming move, I am weeding my closet of items I love but seldom wear.

Item: Zero Maria Cornejo top, size Medium.

Description: Having long lusted after Maria Cornejo’s designs, I ordered this sculptural top, only to realise that my life is not a non-stop round of artsy parties requiring this type of sharp clothing. I’ve worn it fewer than five times, so am passing it on. This top features Maria Cornejo’s signature split shoulder seams and architectural construction. The front has an elasticated hem, while the back has a slightly longer, rounded, fishtail hem. It looks really sophisticated on.

Size & fabric: Medium, or size 6. Runs true to size. Made from a soft viscose jersey.

Condition: Excellent. No signs of wear.

Asking: $85, domestic shipping included.

Listing ends one week from posting date. Please leave your email information in the comments section, or contact me directly at cyberclaire272@gmail.com. Thank you!

Anthropologie Odille Pintuck Blouse, Size 6



This is a versatile navy tank from Anthropologie. It has a lot of fun feminine details- navy floral buttons, crochet trim around the neckline and armhole, and pin tucks that run the length of the blouse on the front and back. There is slight fading on the crochet trim, but other than that, the blouse is in great condition. It'd be fun paired with high waisted denim, or patterned shorts.

measurements:
length: 22"
armpit-to-armpit: 17.5"

Asking: $11, including shipping

Juicy Couture Pink and Brown Loop Blouse, Size XS/S





This is a pink and brown Loop print blouse by Juicy Couture- sorry for the bad quality photos, but the colors are more pink and chocolate brown. I love the whimsical print of this top, but it's a tad small on me. The tag fell off at some point, but the side label reads 70% Modal, 30% Cotton.

measurements:
armpit-to-armpit: 18"
length: 25"

Asking: $20, including shipping

Listing ends: February 6

Please leave your email in the comments if interested. Paypal only, please. No returns. Thank you!

Ralph Lauren Cable Knit Sweater, XS







I love this preppy cable knit sweater from Ralph Lauren. The color is perfect for spring, and is a great basic cut that can go with a lot. It'd be lovely with a flowy skirt and wedges, or just layered over a collared shirt with jeans and flats. The blue-green color is best represented by the second two photos.

Measurements:
bust: 17.5"
length from shoulder to hem: 21.5"
sleeve: 23"

Asking: $25, including shipping
