Rory Beca Silk Tunic Dress, M (4-6. smaller 8)

Listing for Kay





Purchased at a Rory Beca sample sale, this tunic is in near perfect condition with the exception of a couple things: the pocket on the left has not been sewn shut on bottom (see photo), though this is a very easy fix (never did so since the dress didn't fit me to begin with) and there is a very small patch of pulling in the silk on the right sleeve (see photo).  The length would be fitting as a dress for someone shorter, or more of a tunic length for someone taller.  Unmarked in size, I'd probably say it's around a medium or a 4-6, possibly a smaller 8.  Features front slant pockets and keyhole fastening on the neck in back - would be perfect for someone who doesn't mind a little mending. 

Paid: $60
Asking: $25 incl. US shipping
Auction ends one week from today.

Diesel Grey Tie Dye Tank - Size M

Listing for Kay


A lightweight Diesel off white/grey tank in 100% viscose with allover grey tie dye-esque pattern.  Features some really unique details including an adjustable hem, front snap tie and very slight bubble shape with excellent drape.  Just does not fit me anymore, thus me letting it go.  

Paid: Around $150
Asking: $50 incl. US shipping

J. Crew Shawl Collar Cardigan - Size S

Listing for Kay



This was one of my favorite sweaters but I've unfortunately outgrown it, but it's got plenty of life left in it so off it goes to a more fitting home.  Lightweight taupe shawl collar cardigan from J. Crew, 45% acrylic, 37% superfine alpaca, 18% merino, with foldover shawl collar, patch pockets in front and a long, lean shape.  There is some slight allover pilling and a couple tiny (seriously tiny) pulls, completely unnoticeable and even harder to photograph but though I would mention here for honesty's sake.  

Paid: Around $120, I think
Asking: $50 incl. US shipping
Auction ends one week from today.

Built by Wendy Wool Track Pants - Size 8

Listing for Kay



I have the tencel version of these and love them, but unfortunately the wool ones are just too long for my legs so off they go to a more deserving home.  Awesome pair of pants in 100% wool (not too heavy, you can easily wear them during spring for windy days) with elastic cuffs at bottoms, side slant pockets and elastic waist at back (flat panel front).  Goes well with most anything and will carry you through the seasons.  First photo is stock, second photo is of the actual pants.  

Paid: Around $180 on sale, I think
Asking: $100 incl. US shipping
Auction ends one week from today.

Mociun Galaxy Bands Dress - Size M

Listing for Kay




This was one of Caitlin's earliest pieces, and I bought this waaay back when I thought I still had nice legs - not so much the case anymore.  Brand new, and has never been worn, such an awesome dress that I'm very, very sad to let go.  15% yak and 85% hemp with an oversized blouse/top and a fitted skirt, and can be worn with buttons in front or in back.  Stock photos from Mociun, last photo of the actual dress.  

Paid: $320
Asking: $180 incl. US shipping
Auction ends one week from today.

Via Spiga black loafers, size 6



I can't recall exactly where or when I bought these, but I never wore them outside except to try on, and they are a half size too small for me.  A great, basic, well-made shoe that's decidedly librarian chic. Perfect for work and for that kind of ironic, vintage-y look. 

Size: 6

Original Price: Can't remember, but Via Spigas usually retail for $85+
Asking: $25 + USPS Priority Mail shipping

Ark & Co. 'Pièce de Résistance' black pencil skirt with bow detailing, size M


This skirt is brand new with tags - bought it off the ModCloth site a couple months back but it was too large on me and I never got around to returning it. It's a flattering pencil cut, with lovely large bow-like detailing in satin across the front. Great for work or a night out!

Original Price: $79.99
Asking: $20 shipped

Coach 'Gabby' Signature pink tartan mini-bag


Very cute Coach mini-bag with front-flap and silver-toned turn knob closure. Used it for a while but am making room for other handbags in my life! Interior is lined with bright fuchsia satin, and unfortunately a pen got uncapped in the bag and made some pen marks on the interior lining (see pictures below).  Otherwise, the bag has been very gently used and looks almost new from the outside.

Measurements:
L: 8"
H: 6"
Depth: 2"

Original Price: $188
Asking: $40 + shipping

ModCloth 'Press Darling' military band jacket, size S


Pretty much the most awesome jacket ever. It never fails to turn heads and garner compliments and references to Michael Jackson or Sergeant Pepper. As a matter of fact, I wore this jacket as part of a Michael Jackson costume one Halloween and it made a splash.

If you're in the market for a military-style band jacket, this is pretty much the epitome. Made of a felt-like material, with all the trimmings - gold rope detail, gold-tone buttons, and my favorite, the embroidered epaulettes on the shoulders.


Size: Small, but could fit an X-Small
Length: 18"
Shoulder-to-shoulder (flat): 15"
Bust (flat): 16"
Waist: 14" (I've only worn the jacket open over a t-shirt)

Original Price: $79.99 (see original listing on ModCloth.com here)
Asking: $25 + USPS Priority Mail shipping

Firetrap gray foldover booties, never worn
