Steven Alan items--shirt, moto jacket, silk skirt

I'm binning things by designer today, I guess. Here are a few Steven Alan things:

--striped oxford popover top: cute, short-sleeved oxford-cloth shirt with little white dots embroidered into the fabric. Size S. I spotted a small discoloration on the front so I'm going to ask only $15 + shipping for this guy, but it's really cute with jean shorts, I can vouch for that!



--This suuuuuper cute moto jacket with bracelet-length sleeves, in cream denim: I actually really love this jacket, I just am afraid of white things, so I was too precious with it and never wore it (I bike a lot of places, and was always afraid to splash mud on it). This would be great for spring/summer, though. Size 4. Asking $45 + shipping.



--This navy silk skirt with a starburst print on it. Side zip, lovely light float-y silk, some tucks at the waist to give it volume. Size 6. Asking $35 + shipping.



That's it for the SA stuff. Questions/inquiries to alb2199 at columbia dot edu. Thanks so much!

Rachel Comey stuff--dresses, shoes

I went home for Mother's Day and found more stuff, guys. Here's another few Rachel Comey items you might be interested in:

--Wood-heel peep-toe pumps, size 6 (but fit me, a 7, well). A nice neutral grey-brown with a light wood heel; really well balanced and comfortable to walk in. Never worn. Asking $50 + shipping.

 

--A pair of brown oxfords, great thick leather and a stacked heel. Size 7. A bit worn on the leather sole, so I'm asking $40 +shipping.



--this GORGEOUS silk dress: dark grey with a really really awesome mollusk print on it. So many awesome details here--a little peplum back, a plunging v-back, shirring down the front. I wore this to an evening event and then never again, because my life (sadly) doesn't involve any time to wear silk dresses, but hopefully yours does. Oh man, this is pretty. There's a bit of unraveling at one side seam, which could be quickly fixed by a handy person or a tailor. Size S, made in NYC, everything you love about Rachel Comey...asking $65 + shipping.  Photos: front, back, detail of print + slightly unraveled seam, tags.

 



Sorry those photos are upside down. as always, questions/inquiries to alb2199 at columbia dot edu. Thanks!!

Shoes: Rachel Comey, No. 6, + more

I think we're pretty much at the end of my intense clear-out. Thanks for your patience and interest, everyone! Here, I'm listing the shoes that I have somehow accumulated (and rarely worn).

First, a few pairs that would be good for summer!

--SOLD These No. 6 clog sandals are cute and comfortable and a fun color. I wore them once and then remembered that I like flats. Size 7; asking $50 + shipping.


--SOLD Also good for summer: these Rachel Comey Dekalb clogs (remember these? I looked EVERYWHERE for these for <$400). These are a really nice neutral taupe/olive color. I loved these a lot, and they're a bit worn, but still awesome and comfortable. I had them resoled a while ago, so they're in pretty good shape for walking. Size 6, but fit me (a 7) fine. Asking $60 + shipping.


--SOLD Spring/summer/fall appropriate: APC wedges. Clearly, I did not learn that I am a flats girl, and I kept buying tall shoes and then not wearing them. These are cute and easy to walk in, and APC makes really good quality shoes--I have a few pairs of sandals that are like, 5 years old and still look perfect. Size 7. Asking $70 + shipping.



--SOLD Summer wedding shoes?? These J Crew pumps are sparkly and awesome! I bought them for an outfit and then chickened out and wore nude heels instead. Size 7.5 (I find I need to go a bit bigger in the J Crew heels than my normal size). Asking $35 + shipping.




--SOLD Are you on the east coast, getting drenched by all these spring showers? Take these Loeffler Randall rain booties! They're so nicely styled, no one will notice you're wearing rain shoes. Size 6 (a little too small for me, even though I tried to make them work). Asking $40 + shipping.



--Spring wedges: these black suede Madewell wedges have fun buckle details and a lot of lift in a comfortable crepe sole. Never worn, size 7. Asking $35 + shipping.
 

--I'm going to add 2 more things here--some No. 6 peep toe corset clogs, and a pair of lovely Clarks desert booties with a heel--but I have to take pictures of them at home. Keep your eyes peeled, though!

As always, I'll happily answer questions, combine shipping, etc etc. alb2199 at columbia dot edu for questions. Thanks again, everyone!

A few button-up options: Tradlands, Lauren Moffatt, Gitman Sisters

Here are a few button-up shirts that I found I don't wear, but are wonderful (side note: I only just found out the "button-down" refers to those little buttons at the collar points, not the row of buttons down the front of the shirt. Learn something new every day, I guess!)

First: this Tomboy Style x Tradlands green and white stripe oxford popover is seriously great. Everything everyone's said about Tradlands is true: the quality, workmanship, and design is excellent. I have this in purple stripe, though, and I really only need one. I'm pretty sure this is still on the website for $165, and I wore this 1x last summer, so you'd be getting a really sweet basically new shirt for quite a bit cheaper than list.
 Size XS, but fits quite roomily on me, so I'd say this could fit up to a 6-8 pretty comfortably. Asking $100 + shipping. https://tradlands.com/products/the-busby is the purple version.




Next, this is a classic Lauren Moffatt pintuck shirt (man, I miss that company...her new one isn't the same). This shirt has her signature asymmetrical line of snap buttons, sweet pintucks in the back, and a longer front hem than back. The fabric is a thick woven cotton with blue and pink dots on it. Size M, pretty true to size. Asking $40 + shipping.
 

Finally, I have 2 more Gitman Sisters shirts. The first is a white oxford--tailored, clean, and really well-made. There's a faint makeup smear on the collar (see photo). Size S. Asking $35 + shipping. 

The second is a blue cotton with little white woven-in dots, also size S. Sorry it looks so wrinkly! Asking $30 + shipping.

Size 27x30" inseam. Super stretchy, super comfy. Jac's jeans rinse with destroy knees. Asking $85 + shipping.  alb2199 at columbia dot edu for questions.
