Sunshine & Shadow Pockets Skirt in blue/black rabbits print- Size 6

measurements:
waist--15" (flat)
length--20"

details:
blue 100% silk with black print, back zip. slightly gathered waist. large pockets at each hip. hits slightly above the knee. slouchy shape

imperfections:
none, worn once.

costs:
i paid $260, asking $100 (includes shipping)

imperfections:
none!

costs:
i paid $295, asking $120 including shipping- the same as the other tie front dresses sold here!

Acne Dress- Size 36

AMAZING Acne dress from Winter 2008. Black drapey viscose with dolman sleeves and oversize shape. Side pockets. Worn once and dry cleaned. I am so sad to part with this dress but after looking at it hanging in my closet these past 8 months, I'd rather someone take it to a better home. It can be worn now with sandals or later with tights and boots. Here is a link of it on a dress form: http://www.yoox.com/item.asp?cod10=34137176&TP=11227. 80% Viscose, 20% Silk.

M For Morenatom Brown Leather Boots, size 6-6.5

M for Morenatom brown leather boots with suede trim, size 6. They are a true to size 6 for medium-thick socks. If you're a 6.5, you can get away with thin socks or tights. The soles are rubber and the heel is 1/3" high. There are two grommets and zippers running along the length of each side of the boot. In the second photo, you can see that there's a lining behind the zipper and that's bright orange. The buckle at the top of the boot is functional. There's faux fur lining just at the top 2" of the shaft. The leather is in very good condition. I'm selling these because they don't quite fit my calves.

Measurements:
1/3" heel
11" shaft
9.75" from tip of toe to heel, measured on sole (the sole sticks out a little from the leather)
11.75" top inner circumference, but the fur will probably squish more.
3.5" across ball of foot

Imperfections:
There is wear on the heel.

Costs:
Paid $187 (retailed for $220), asking $50, includes shipping.

French Connection Distressed Leather Boots, size 6.5-7

Versatile French Connection black distressed leather boots. The color is more of a dark grey. They are labeled a size 6, but they definitely run large. I wear a 6.5 in Frye with medium weight socks, and these fit larger than that. These boots will fit you if you're a 7 or if you're a 6.5 and wear thick socks.

The heel is 1" high and I've had the soles professionally redone with a rubber tread (great for winter). The top of the boot was also professionally modified to be cut straight across (see second photo). There was another inch or so above the top that I had cut off because my legs are short. Hence, the word "connection" without the "french".

I'm selling these because I have other boots that fit me better.

Measurements:
1" heel
12" shaft
10" from tip of toe to heel, measured on sole (the sole sticks out a little from the leather)
13.25" top inner circumference
3.75" across the ball of the foot (good for wider feet)

Imperfections:
There is wear on the heel.

Costs:
Paid $252 from Zappos + another $40 or so in alterations, asking $50, includes shipping.

Diesel Style Lab Sleeveless Striped Top, size small

Diesel Style Lab bias-cut, cross-over, empire-waist top, size S. The material is a sheer blend of 61% cotton, 38% nylon, and 1% spandex that has a nice evenly crinkled texture. The edges are over-locked stitched, not folded over.

Measurements:
14.5" across top of the shoulders
17.5" across chest
15" across empire waist
22" length
NOTE: This material does have a slight stretch to it.

Imperfections:
In the third picture above, you can see there's a tiny "cut" in the fabric. I've worn it several times with this "cut" and it shows no signs of enlarging or getting worse. There's also one pulled thread right by the top of the shoulder. I never even noticed this until I started taking measurements. I've probably been wearing it with that pulled thread this whole time.

Unfortunately, I've cut out the washing instructions because it was a large noticeable tag under the sheer fabric, but I'd recommend hand washing and air drying or dry cleaning or just steaming.

Costs:
Paid ~$90 from a Diesel store, asking $13, includes shipping.
