I fell in love with the beaded detailing and exuberant colors on

the cuffs of this black jacket. Although this jacket was originally

designed for evening wear, I regularly wear jackets like this with a

simple tee shirt and jeans.

Unfortunately, I am not a size 2. But, I bought

the jacket anyway, thinking I could figure out a way to make it work.

Well, I can't. It just doesn't fit me. And it is such a beautiful jacket,

that it deserves to see the light of day!

Simple jewel neckline. Fully lined with hook and eye closure

at waist. Vent on each side seam.

[SOLD] Elie Tahari Champagne Silk and Black Lace Top

Elie Tahari Champagne Silk and Black Lace Top

$24

I so love this top! The black cobweb lace is deftly layered
over champagne silk charmeuse.

The deep scoop neck bodice is gently shirred to flatter the bustline.

But my favorite part? The black grosgrain ribbon sash features the

most beautiful embroidered and beaded detail which has the appearance

of a belt buckle. The center features a faceted jet stone.

An invisible side zipper makes it easier to put on and take off.

I agonized about keeping this top, but I have nowhere to wear it and it

deserves a better life than hanging out in the dark recesses of my closet!

Cache Sequin Dress

Cache Sequin Dress

$29

This Cache cocktail dress is truly stunning in person! It is completely encrusted

with black sequins and black and silver beads. Your every move will shimmer!

The elegant Greek key design encircles the top of the bodice and the hemline.

Label: Cache

Size: S

Material: 85% Rayon 15% Spandex

Measurements:

Bust: 16"

Waist: 13"

Hips: 15"

Length: 26" (from armpit to hemline)

Note: This dress does have 15% spandex so it does have some

stretch to it. It is meant to be very form fitting!

Condition: I found two places that were missing beads, which are pictured below.

Also, a few of the silver beads are slightly discolored. I don't think either is particularly

noticeable. If there are others, I could not find them. The rest of the dress

is in excellent condition.

There is a single bead missing on the bottom row of the hemline that can

be seen on the left side of the picture above.

There are approximately 5 silver beads missing on the Greek key design on

the left side seam near the hem.
