[REDUCED, RELIST] Anthropologie Deletta Hourglass Surplice top, Medium





From anthropologie's website:

Shapely smocking nips the waist and highlights the shoulders of Deletta's jersey tee.
  • Pima cotton, modal
  • Machine wash
  • 24"L
  • Imported

This is another lovely anthropologie top that doesn't get much wear. The faux wrap is great for highlighting the waist, and would be perfect tucked into tailored shorts or with just about anything. The fabric has a tiny bit of pilling, but it's hard to tell due to the nubby cotton texture.

Measurements:
length- 24"
armpit to armpit- 17.5" (this is varied due to the nature of the blouse. Would fit S or M.)

Asking: $22, shipped $17, shipped
Listing ends: August 4

Please leave your email in the comments if interested. Paypal only, please :). Thanks!

[RELIST, REDUCED] AG The Angel Khaki Jeans, Size 30











AG is one of my favorite jean brands. The fit and construction is excellent. These are just a tad large for me, so they sit unworn. They're like new, as you can see there's no wear in the bottom hem. Great quality medium weight denim, with a classic bootcut. Sorry for the middle two images-- couldn't get blogger to cooperate and rotate them.

Please note, the jeans are a khaki color- other images provided to show the fit of the Angel cut.

Measurements (taken laying flat) $40, shipped
inseam- 32.5"
hip- 17.5"
waist- 16"

Asking- $45, shipped $40, shipped

Christian Dior eye glasses





posted on behalf of Ellen

Item: Beautiful chic pair of red translucent "3160" Christian Dior eye
glasses. I get compliments every time I wear these flashy glasses.
They are are a sturdy plastic frame with a gorgeous round Dior
embellishment on the each side of the glasses. They do have my lens
prescription in them but all you would need to go is take them to your
optometrist or Lenscrafters to have your prescription fit. Please
let me know if you have any questions!

Condition: I purchased them new from my optometrist about a year ago
but they got very little wear since I own so many pairs of
eyeglasses.They are in great used condition as there are no cracks or
large visible scratches to the frame. They also come with the original
Dior case.

Paid: I bought them new for nearly $400 plus tax

Selling: $150 plus $5 for shipping

Ending date: August 7, 2011

BANANA REPUBLIC yellow silk summer dress Size 6



Posted on behalf of Ellen

Item: Beautiful yellow silk dress with amazing rope straps that gives
the dress a nautical rustic. I bought this dress about a year ago from
Banana Republic because it was love at first sight but it is slightly
small for me.The outside lining is 100% silk while the inside is some
sort of poly blend I believe. It is SO comfortable and the fabric lays
beautifully on the body. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Condition: This dress has never been worn and still has the original
$128.00 price tag on it.

Paid: $128.00 plus tax

Selling for: $60 plus $5 for shipping

Le Bouton Striped Shirt Size Medium



posted on behalf of Cayenne

I won this lovely Le Bouton brown striped shirt from LoGE last year.
See original post and pictures here:
http://thegeneraleconomy.blogspot.com/2010/05/le-bouton-striped-shirt.html

I am allergic to wool so I definitely believe that the fabric is a
blend of cotton and wool, not only cotton as it was originally listed.
I don't think it is much wool, my guess is 10-15%.

I wore it a total of 3 times and washed it twice in cold water and line
dried it. It is in great condition. It just took me a while to face up
to the fact that I needed to part with it.

Measurements taken from flat (unstretched) garment
Bust: 18 inches (armpit to armpit)
Sleeve length: 16 3/4 inches
Length: 16 1/2 inches from armpit to hem

Paid: $45
Cost: $40, includes shipping in the US

hip-level, flap pockets and one small chest pocket on the left.

Swiss dot cotton shirt dress







Baby pink cotton dress.

Very soft cotton with all over swiss dots.
Fully lined with cotton.
This still needs a slip in my opinion.

Has adorable pockets and a sash in the same material as the dress.

Slightly poufed sleeves with cute button detail.

Size XS.
No tag attached. I remember prying out the neck label/tag as it was quite bothersome. I dont remember what brand it was. I bought it at some shop in NY brand new.

Never worn. I have been evisioning wearing it for about 2 years now and never did ! Passing on to someone who might enjoy this.

Asking 30 $ + shipping.
