eBay Easy Come, Easy Go

December 1, 2008 by WendyB

Sorry to show you something you can’t have, but anyone who is a fan of bustles and/or ruffles really missed out on this Anna Sui denim skirt. It went for only $19.99 on eBay.

Front

Back

Butt ruffles are the next best thing to butt bows.

Something that I’d love to see on eBay for a super-low price is this Alexander McQueen dress. The high neck wouldn’t really suit me, but if it was a real bargain maybe I’d go for it anyway.

Currently $774, down from $1,295, at Alexander McQueen

Here is a vintage Donald Brooks dress that I did buy on eBay recently.

I feel like a couple of designers did practically identical sleeves very recently. Who can tell me … hmm … Jill? I’m very fond of Donald Brooks, the designer responsible for my Sex-ay Pilgrim dress.

I feel like I owe you something that you can actually bid on now, so if you are still looking for a military-style jacket, check out this Moschino.

Great cut, right?

If you bid, don’t forget to snipe!

    I’m such an ebay addict… I always find things that I’m tempted to buy for other people just because they’re so beautiful and for such cheap prices…!

    I used to hate Moschino back in the day – but now the kooky details and cuts seem really fresh and lovely!

    I really like the Moschino jacket. That Alexander McQueen dress is sort of a “semi-sex-ay Tim Burton character” dress, and that is a good thing!

    How on earth do you sit with a butt bustle?

    That McQueen dress is crazy. Anyone bold enough to wear that deserves their props.

    I am starting to hate ebay because there are sooo many things you can afford and you don’t get for some pennies!! it’s so frustrating

    Wendy, have you ever investigated Sarah Whitworth for the whole ‘decorated bum’ thing? She did some amazing….buffles I guess you could call them.

    I love how flouncy the sleeves are on your new dress. That is very “you.”

    This is some “girly” skirt!
    Yet from the front is quite rambunctious.
    Good choice.

    If I put butt ruffles on MY butt, it would be a dangerous weapon!!
