SOLD Vintage Black Twill Sailor Pants 33" Waist

2010-05-24T10:38:00.000-07:00

Vintage Navy black wool twill sailor pants. 13 button front; lace-up back. I personally LOVE sailor pants (I've written about them before on my blog - they're really sexy on a woman; they elongate the legs and nip in the waist, corset-style). Size is 33XL, which is the waist size. I would say that you can cinch them probably about 1" or so smaller - they don't have to be super-tight on the waist. Size at hips is approximately 41", with little to no stretch. Inseam length is 34", though they are quite easily altered to make shorter.

Impossible-to-find Honey Salon by foppish hot pink tee with dripping yellow smiley face and original tags. If you've seen this design before, you know that they were only released for a short time during early Spring of 2009 and were sold out almost immediately, selling for $72 apiece new.

Anne Klein Striped Sweater Petite M

2010-05-24T09:37:00.000-07:00

Black-and-white striped Anne Klein sweater. Label is "PM" - what I guess is a petite medium. If you are not necessarily petite, you could still wear it, though I'd say the size is a SMALL. I found that it's the right length on me (and I'm 5'6"); it's just a little too tight to classify it as a regular medium.

(I honestly had no idea Forever 21 had put out something similar recently...I just saw the cross in a store and thought "wouldn't that be cool as a sideways ring just like my sideways necklace?" I had the cross finding and just turned it sideways for the ring. Strange!)

Here is the silver version. I personally can't choose!

Here are both of them worn together...I think they look pretty cool like that too!

I have now listed these rings on my Etsy at my store carlyjcais. Please check it out if you prefer the Etsy platform!
