Rachel Comey Penpal Boots, Size 9




Rachel Comey Penpal Boots, Size 9

Item: The ever-popular Rachel Comey penpal boots in an amazing purple patent leather. Not carried in many stores and sold out in this size.

Material: patent leather upper, wood heel, thin rubber sole on bottom of entire shoe.

Size: 9. Overall fits pretty true to size, heel is slightly loose for my narrow foot.

Condition: brand new with box and dust bag.

Why I’m giving them up: The heel is a bit loose for my narrow foot. I’m a true 9 and these otherwise fit fine. I think a regular 9 with a less narrow heel would fit perfectly!

Paid: Originally $375, on sale for $187 plus shipping.

Asking: $150 shipped

Posting ends: 1 week from listing date

I have too many button downs from Steven Alan, and this one just does not get so much wear. It's probably one of the softest shirts I've owned, though!

These Jil Sander platforms are amazing and I wishhhhhh that they would fit my feet.  I can get my feet into them but cannot walk very well.  Even being too small, they are comfortable for a shoe with a heel this high.  I had to see these go, but I want them to find a good home and actually see daylight! In a month I'm leaving the country for a year and need to downsize downsize downsize my wardrobe!!

[SOLD] Swedish Hasbeens T-strap High Heel Clogs

I have these in the nude/natural color and I absolutely love them.  I had been saving these for fall weather (the dark chocolate brown is perfect), but I've decided it is too much for me to have two pairs of the same Hasbeens in different colors.  In a month I'm leaving the country for a year and need to downsize downsize downsize my wardrobe!!

I have a regular kanken in rust that I've been using on a daily basis for the past 2 years.  It's held up amazingly well, so much so that I bought another mini one.  I realized that I just schlep too much stuff for it, so I've decided I have to pass this on.  In a month I'm leaving the country for a year and need to downsize downsize downsize my wardrobe!!

Kenneth Cole Leather Pants – Size 6


An old boyfriend bought these for me. I’ve worn them three or four times, and I just can’t imagining myself wearing them anymore (plus they’re a bit snug). They’re buttery soft and fully lined. The only small imperfection is that the zipper is missing its pull (though you can still pull up the zipper).

Label: Kenneth Cole
Material: Leather
Color: Black
Size: 6
Measurements (lying flat)
In seam: 32 inches
Waist: 15 ¾ inches
Price paid: $150 on sale
Price asking: $25 including shipping
Listing End: August 15

French Bensimon Dress – Size 40

This is a super cute summer shift with a zipper down the back. A friend gave it to me a couple years ago, and I loved wearing it. But it seems a little young for me now.

Label: Bensimon
Material: Cotton
Color: White with flower pattern
Size: French 40 (I’d say this fits a 6 or 8)
Measurements (lying flat)
Bust: 17
Length from shoulder to hem: 38 inches

White, Super Heavy Burberry Rain Jacket – Size 8


Beautiful, heavy Burberry rain jacket. This is a super thick jacket with sweet yellow striped lining and grommeted breathing holes under the arms. It’s always been a little too small through the chest for me, which is why it hasn’t gotten much wear.

Label: Burberry
Material: 100 percent cotton
Color: White
Size: small 8
Measurements (lying flat)
Bust: 18 inches
Length from shoulder to hem: 34 inches

Condition: Goodish. I’ve worn this only a handful of times. I also just had it dry cleaned. That being said, the dry cleaners recommended wet cleaning it, and as I’ve tried to show in the picture, it does have a small stain and two or three other small pen marks (no bigger than the size of the tip of a pen). So, while you’re not getting something in pristine condition, you are getting a classic, very heavy rain jacket.

Price paid: $200 on sale

Price asking: $30 including shipping

[REDUCED, RELIST] J Brand Houlihan Skinny Stretch Cargos, Vintage Olive Size 28


THE most amazing skinny fit cargos on the planet. Not surprising why so many celebs have been wearing them. The fabric is a soft broken in cotton, with a hint of stretch. It's amazing how versatile these are. Even through the summer, they're great with a loose fitting tank (add fun fedora for pizzazz!). In the fall, they'd be great with ankle booties and a chunky cardigan.
These have been worn once or twice. Please excuse the dark pictures-- the first picture, and the last 2 probably represent the color the best.
Paid: $230
Asking: $100 shipped $85 shipped ($5 extra if international)
Listing ends: August 15

Navy Blue Leifsdottir Zip Sweater


This is a freshly dry cleaned cute navy blue sweater with a zipper and nice details (which I tried to show in the pictures). It’s just a bit too boxy for my waist-less body, which is why I’m letting it go. I’ve only worn it three or four times.

Rachel Comey Racerback Tank with Cowl Neck - Medium



I call this the $180 tank top that I’ve only worn once! Suffice it to say, this was an impulse buy that I just don’t wear. I’ve had it dry cleaned but the front (which is sort of cowl neck) needs to be pressed. It’s extremely flattering and dramatic with its open back. I hope someone will snap it up and love it, which is why I’m practically giving it away.

Label: Rachel Comey
