Ebay Acquisition Update



Honestly, if it weren't for Ebay, I would look like a ragamuffin or a street urchin or I would have to wear my mom's old Talbot's castoffs. It would be hard times and unflattering apparel. Thanks to Ebay, I have several fabulous things that I will list for you now:
  • classic Gucci heels
  • classic gucci flats
  • Louis Vuitton Wapity Case (oh it is the cutest)
  • Stuart Weitzman Quetia Platforms
  • Lululemon Wunder Under Tights
  • Various Lululemon post-baby chic sweatsuit outfits
  • Nanette Lepore Hieroglyphics dress that fills my heart with joy when I open my closet
  • Various Rachel Pally dresses that are integral for my summers
Another great part about Ebay is that I can sell things that are not seeing a lot of wear and use that money to put towards the above acquisitions. It feels really good to clean out your closet and receive money in your little Paypal account to save up for future purchases.
Now this month I have had two great triumphs: My Stuart Weitzman Quetia platforms (pictured above) and my Lululemon Wunder Under tights. For months I had been dying to have this fabulous pair of platforms that were at Nordstrom. When they showed up on Ebay, I was able to get them for 1/3 of the retail price, plus I sold a dress that looked truly terrible on me (somewhere between a potato sack and barrel) and put that money towards the shoes. Thrilling!!!!

The same with a pair of Wunder Under tights from Lululemon. My old tights that I had been wearing with boots and such were from my sophomore year in college. The elastic was totally destroyed, and every time I took a step they shimmied down my legs making me look like I was wearing some strange tight fitting version of Hammer pants. If I wore them anywhere, I was always sneaking off to hide and pull up my pants. It was getting ridiculous.

So, I found a brand new pair of Wunder Unders (pictured above). They are Lululemon tights that double as day wear/ work out wear. On Ebay, I got them for half-price and they were brand new. I like them so well and they are so thick that they could really be pants, that I may start looking for the Wunder Under crops as well. I can just see them with flats and a sweater in the spring.
