Style Agent 909 suggested we all link up and do an on-line swap this Saturday, September 22. So here I am with what I have to offer:
 |
| Black suede heels, says size 8, feels like size 7 |
These shoes are in excellent condition inside and out, top and bottom. They're too small for me now and too high.
 |
| off-white cotton gauze blouse |
The elasticized neckline can be worn off the shoulders, is semi-sheer, measures 19" from underarm to underarm across bust (so double that). And I don't recall ever wearing it.
 |
| black silk top with white shell buttons |
A light weight, washable silk with linen mix, short top, measures 21" from underarm to underarm across bust. Too small for me.
 |
| black and white cotton w/spandex mini w/shorts |
zips in back, comfy, maybe wore it once? substantial cotton fabric with some stretch. shorts of same fabric sewn in at waist. like new. waistband measures 30", length 17"
 |
| black satin beaded & embroidered flats, size 7 |
too small for me now. worn but not damaged. all beads and stitching in tact.
Now for
my wish list. I haven't been buying any apparel, new or used, going into my 2nd year now of Project Minima - nor any fabric, since the idea is to use what I already have. And I don't really want anything. Except maybe...
tights! Yes,
colorful, or textured, or patterned, tights, thigh highs, or over-the-knee socks! Even footless tights. mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm! I know how to make them now, but I would need the stretchy knit fabric it requires for all those groovy colors I desire. So that's it, that's my heart's desire. In an
extra large size for tights I believe since I've gotten bigger. Just regular for things that don't go all the way up.
Or the 2-way stretch knit fabric (it needs to really stretch both right-to-left
and up-&-down)...and elastic...so I can make them.
Oh and I suppose if anyone was getting rid of some
Trippen Happy Boots in a size 7.5 or 8
, I wouldn't mind taking them off your hands.
If you're interested in swapping for an item, leave a comment with your email. Bonus points if you have colorful tights to swap for it (or the fabric to make them)!
Pao, thanks so much for coming. I like that white blouse. I have some tights (new). They're grey and black hounds tooth pattern in the size you want. I don't have them in the swap but I can send you a pic. Let me know if you're interested in trading.
ReplyDeleteHey Sheila, sure send me a pic so I can check them out!
DeleteI think Advanced Style saved me as well. Just saw your comment somewhere...yeah, like I remember?! The other blog that saved me was Judith at Style Crone.com. Somehow that was the beginning of community and it's just gotten better with time.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and I'll see you on the rebound. XXOO
Yes I agree, after Advanced Style, came the Style Crone and then just as you say. I think I wrote that speech in response to Amber at Butane Anvil or...
