vintage all-seasons dress







Great vintage dress I bought at a boutique in San Francisco. As much as I loved it when I got it (and still do), I have to accept that I'm a little too busty for it and must let it go. The color is mauvey/dark beige mix with 4 buttons and ties to tie in a bow in front or back. Batwing sleeves and a great hem with a darker background add up to some interesting details. There are printed flowers as well. The sleeves don't go longer than the elbow. From shoulder to the hem, it measures about 38" and looks great with flats or boots and layered with cardigans or a long-sleeved shirt underneath. The material feels like a poly blend. It's a tad sheer up top, so you could wear a pretty camisole underneath. It's really versatile and in great condition!

Size: none listed, but I would say it can fit a whole range of sizes since the waist is elastic under the bust--maybe from US size 4-10?

Price: $46; yours for $25 including shipping. Leave your e-mail in the comments.

Listing ends: April 10.


Frye sandals "Amy", US size 10







Awesome sling back sandals by Frye. Style is "Amy" that I bought through Urban Outfitters about 2 years ago after I was lusting after a similarly designed pair by Chloe. Has all the hallmarks of a Frye shoe: sturdy hardware, stylish, well-made. Cushiony leather insole. I even had it professionally resoled to make the ball-of-foot last a little longer. What's also great about them is how thick the heel is, so there's not a lot of wobbling at all. You feel very secure. Sadly, I probably only wore them 3 times simply because they're a little too high to navigate the San Francisco hills. On flatter streets I'd never let them go!

Size: 10
Color: Caramel brown.
Heel: 3.5"

Will come in original box if you want it.

Paid: Over $100; yours for $70 including shipping

Listing ends: April 10.

Denim skirt by Proenza Schouler for Target, Size 9





Super versatile Proenza Schouler for Target in the GO! Collection denim skirt. I wore it a lot but it's a little big for me now.

Contrast stitching, great buttons down front. 2 slit pockets in the back. 2 slant pockets on front but it doesn't gape--it lies flat. Waist stretched out as far as possible=17" (double it for waist measurement). 21" long. Also comes with the belt (see picture); let me know if you want it or not.

Size: 9 (best fit is a US size 10)
Material: 98% cotton; 2% cotton

Price: $15 including shipping. Include e-mail in comments.

{SOLD} Vintage red enamel bow belt



CONGRATS SARAH!

Cute vintage red belt with bow. Elastic. Size marked is "M/L." 2 button holes. 32" unstretched.

Price: $8 including shipping. Include e-mail in comments.

Listing ends: April 10.

{SOLD} J. Crew ankle cord, size 29




CONGRATS ERICA!

"Toothpick ankle cord" style bought on final sale from J.Crew and it's too small for me. I'd say it fits a US size 6 due to the lower rise and fit, which sits lower on the hips. Brand new, only worn to try on and couldn't get it buttoned!

Size: 29
Color: black (not the color pictured; see color here)

Details from J.Crew: the must-have silhouette of the season—the slim-fitting toothpick silhouette—now in a velvety soft, thin-wale corduroy. The lean, flattering fit comes from a superstretch technology that hugs the body while staying incredibly comfortable. Cotton/elasterell. Zip fly. Traditional 5-pocket styling. Import. Machine wash.
Sits lower on hips, with a superskinny, straight leg.
28" inseam

Price: $22, including shipping. Please include your e-mail in the comments, thanks!

Kimchi & Blue (Urban Outfitters) Silk Print Dress (XS)



I fell in love with this dress the moment I saw it at Urban Outfitters a few years ago, but have never worn it since it's a bit long for me. It's 100% silk with a lovely light green leafy print, elasticated waist with self-tie, and little ruffles along the neckline and hem. Hits at the knee for most women (but I'm super-petite, so it doesn't work so well on me). I would recommend it for an XS/S, as I believe it runs a bit large.

Bust: 16.5" flat, + darts and ruching, so it's hard to get a good read on it, but you should probably not have larger than a 36" bust, to be safe.
Waist: Elastic, 12.5"across at its smallest and stretches to 15" across
Hips are pretty free, since it just flares from the waist, so if you fit the other measurements, you're probably fine.
Length: about 37", but straps are adjustable, so can be a bit longer or shorter.

Paid: Around $88 + tax
Asking: $45 + $5 shipping in US & Canada

Betsey Johnson Silk Kimono Dress [XS/S]



An elegant but easy 100% silk Betsey Johnson minidress in a lovely blueish magenta color. I love this dress to death due to the wide sleeves and flattering cut, but I'm a just too petite to carry off the neckline. I bought this in a high-end consignment shop, and have only worn it once, so it's in pretty much perfect condition (please excuse the wrinkles, I'll steam the dress a bit before shipping).

The sleeves should hit just above the elbow, and the length should be above the knee on most. There is also an attached self-tie that ties in the back, so this dress will fit a range of sizes, XS to S, though it is marked a size 2. Feel free to ask for more measurements.

Paid: Around $120 + tax at a high-end consignment store
Asking: $65 + $5 shipping

Liberty of London for Target Pajama Set sz LARGE



Ordered this cute PJ set but it's way too big for me. From the Target collaboration with Liberty of London, this 100% cotton two-piece is sold out online. Selling it here since I know the Laws audience can appreciate this and I'd feel much better knowing it went to someone here rather than returning it back to Target. I would say as far as sizing, it best fits a larger 10-14. It's quite roomy with the shirred top with straps that untie and an elastic waist.

It is brand new, with tags attached and has never been worn. I'm including pictures from the site--what you will receive is the exact thing pictured. More details (from the site) and pictureshere:

REDUCED Armani Exchange shirt (new) -- size Small

Size Small A|X lavender shirt, completely unworn. I bought this during my year of body image crisis in 2007, when I thought that if I worked out enough I could whittle myself down to fit the next size down. Needless to say, it never happened, and to this day I can't button it up in the front. I kept this shirt in my closet as a guilt trip and cut the tags off in an attempt to keep myself accountable. It's totally new, has some nice detailed stitching and a lacy tuxedo front. Originally $78.

Shipped anywhere in the continental US for $15. Please click on images for details.

Edit: Reduced price to $10

{SOLD} Mociun Grey Doily Print Tank Top Small



Item: Doily Tank from Mociun

Color: Grey and black doily print

Material: 55% bamboo, 45% cotton

Size: Small

Measurements: Length: 21 inches, Bust: 13.5 inches, Waist: 13 inches

Condition: Never worn, tried on once

History: This doily print is SO awesome.  I bought the tank here in September, thinking it would become a fall wardrobe staple.  Instead, it's been sitting in my closet all winter, and I'm thinking that it's time to let it go.  The original owner hadn't worn it out, and I've only tried it on once, so it's in perfect condition!

Paid: $35

Asking: $30, includes shipping to anywhere

I'll randomly choose a winner on April 8, 2010.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  Thanks for looking!

SOLD. Mike & Chris Grey Silk Top, XS





Congratulations Anne!

17.5" across, under the arms
25" long w/ the bottom tucked in (see 2nd photo)
27.5" long in total (see 3rd & 4th photos)

This listing is for a 100% silk grey Mike & Chris top. I love that the neckline is asymmetrical, that there are on seam pockets, and that you can flip the bottom in to create a more blouson-styled blouse. I've only worn it once and would want to keep it but for the fact that the non-machine washable items in my closet never make the rotation. But if you adore Mike & Chris and have an addition to grey, this may be perfect for you. (:

Asking: $75 $65 + $5 shipping w/in the U.S.

The listing will end on April 8. Thanks!

SOLD. Rag & Bone Silk Blouse, 2



Congratulations Daria!

This listing is for a silk long sleeve Rag & Bone blouse, which buttons in a slightly asymmetrical fashion. The button closure sleeves are gathered and the fit of the blouse as a whole is a bit on the looser side. It measures 15" across the shoulders, 20" from the shoulders, and 18" under the arm. I've only worn it once or twice and wish it could be better integrated into my waredrobe. Maybe it will work in yours. (:

Asking: $65 + $5 shipping

This listing will end on April 8. Thanks!

Minnetonka Brown Suede Fringed Moccassins, Size 9



Item: Brown Suede Minnetonka Fringed Moccasins

Color: These boots are the lighter, slightly redder Minnetonka suede color (as opposed to the dusty brown)

Material: Soft suede upper, rubber sole, decorative fringe, and awesome metal accents/studs

Size: Women's 9 (however, I am usually a size 9, and these seem to run rather large), sole length is  10.75 inches, sole width is 3.5 inches

Condition: Tried on once, never worn

History: I bought these boots in October from Moccasins Direct.  I sort of got them as a wild card, having never seen them in person.  As, it turns out, they are MUCH awesomer than I thought they'd be.  I love them so much and am really bummed that they don't fit.  They're a bit higher on the foot than a regular moccasin and would look really great with a pair of opaque tights.  They're brand new, in the box, never worn.  If you're a normal size 9, these would probably fit with a thicker sock.  However, I'd guess that they are closer to a 9.5.  They remind me of the moccasins used in the Mociun product shots.

Paid: $39.95 + shipping

Asking: $30, includes shipping to anywhere

I'll choose a winner randomly on April 8, 2010.  I can take a picture of the actual shoes, if you're interested.  I'd prefer to send them without the box, but, if you want it, we can add a few extra dollars for shipping.  Thanks for looking!

Mociun Meteor Skirt XS



Item: Meteor Skirt from Mociun

Color: Grey and white star woman print

Material: 100% bamboo, fully lined in silk

Size: Extra-Small.

Measurements: Waist: 25 inches Length: 18.25 inches

Condition: Never worn, tried on twice

History: This skirt is so awesome and beautiful.  I bought it from the Mociun store a few weeks ago thinking that I could squeeze into an XS.  Not the case!  I think Mociun skirts run on the large size, but this was just too small for me. 

Paid: Somewhere around $140

Asking: $125, includes shipping to anywhere

The first and the third picture are of the actual skirt.  The middle picture is from Beklina.  I'll randomly choose a winner on April 8, 2010.  Thanks for looking!
