No. 6 clogs, both seasonable and unseasonable

OK, 2 pairs of No. 6 clogs here--one is a seasonable, a pair of pale gray-green corset peep-toes. They're a little beat up, but could be easily rehabbed--the labels came off (I mean, they always do; this is clearly a design flaw that I always think they should have solved by now! It makes the heels look weird!) and there's a chip on the back of the right foot (under the strap on the top photo) that I think must have happened in my closet, somehow. It's visible in one of the photos. However, they're great, super cute, and deserve to be worn more than they have been! They're a size 37, which was always a bit too small for me, so...someone with slightly smaller feet, take these! Asking $75 + shipping.




The unseasonable option: these shearling-lined winter wedges. I bought these big--a 39--so I could put big fat socks in them, but they were definitely too big for me. They are GORGEOUS--two-tone brown leather, black clog wedge base, and the nicest interior shearling I've seen on No 6 boots. It's way softer than their normal shearling, for some reason. Anyway, these are great, so think ahead to winter and stash them until then? Asking $115 + shipping.

Tucker silk shirt, size XS

This hammered silk shirt from Tucker has all the cute details they're so good at (I'm so glad they're back! Hooray for making things in NYC!): piped seaming, a peter pan collar, great fabric, tabs for keeping the sleeves rolled up, etc. The shirt is an azalea pink with navy piping, and it looks really great tucked into jeans or jean shorts. Size XS, so it was always a little too small for me, but maybe it will fit you? Asking $30 + shipping.
