PRE-LOVED SHORTS & PANTS

*********NEW30/01/11

PRINTED BOARDIES $7
Cotton On Size 8. Hardly worn. My friends got these for me when we once went to the beach for my birthday on a 43 degree day. A little too small for me.

P&H $8
*********NEW 28/01/11


CIGARETTE LEG GREY WRANGLER SKINNIES $30
Size 9. Quite a thick denim jean. I would keep them but they don't fit me anymore! I bought these after I came back from France. Too much cheese and too many sweets, you can imagine.

P&H  $10

PINK SHORTS $4
Cotton on size 8. I have these in a more khaki green colour also, so I don't wear these ones anymore. Green size 10 ones are below.

P&H $8


FLORAL PLAYSUIT $12
Size S. Wore this once for my birthday I believe. I would've liked to have worn it again but hey, I didn't so time to give it a new home.

P&H $8

TIE DYE LEGGING $7
I've never worn these ones, I think they're too loose on me. No tag but I would say size M.  

SHIPPING & HANDLING $8


DENIM SHORTS $7
Valleygirl Size 8. They're quite stretchy so I would say more like a 10. Although Valleygirl does tend to have retarded sizing.

SHIPPING & HANDLING $8


GREEN SHORTS $4
Cotton on size 10. Read caption above, I'm too lazy to think of another.

SHIPPING & HANDLING $8


SHIPPING & HANDLING $8

BLACK PLAYSUIT $7
Size M. Hardly worn! A little too big for me I'd say.


SHIPPING & HANDLING $8

SOLD SKIRTS



DARK GREEN ZIPPER HIGH WAISTED SKIRT $7
Sportsgirl Size 8. Sorry about the colour in this one. I put up the second pic to show that it's actually dark green and not a grey colour... not sure that it comes through too well. I'll try to take a new one soon.

SHIPPING & HANDLING $8

SOLD TOPS

If you would like to be the new owner of any of these clothes. Email me la.friperie.clothing@gmail.com

BLACK RACERBACK TANK $4

********NEW ADDED 28/01/11


RED & BLUE FITTED FLANNIE $12
Bardot Size 10. When I say fitted, I mean it's not an oversize, loose flannie, fits quite nicely for a size 10 (e.g. if you're generally a size 8 but need room for the bust)

SHIPPING & HANDLING $8


TIE DYE TANK GREEN $6
Same as caption above :)

SHIPPING & HANDLING $8


LIGHT PINK SHOULDER LACE TANK $5
NEW WITH TAGS! Valleygirl Size S. Hmm never got around to wearing this one. Very cute worn with a black high waisted skirt.

Cotton On Size M. Cute with some khaki skinnies and a chunky cardi!
SOLD!

VINTAGE SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT $15
SOLD!

OLIVE GREEN TIE DYE TANK $5
Cotton on size L, fits more like an S. I adore this top but the neckline doesn't suit me. Perfect paired with black skinny jeans and boots!

SOLD!


BLACK & WHITE TRIBAL TANK $4
Cotton on size S. I love this print although again like the tie dye top the neckline doesn't suit me.

SHIPPING & HANDLING $8 


PURPLE BATWING TOP $6
No tag but I would say size S.

SHIPPING & HANDLING $8

SOLD DRESSES

Here are the first couple of items that are up for sale! It has been very hard for me to part with all my clothes even though some of them I may never or hardly have worn. I think it's time they deserve a better home :)

If you would like to be the new owner of any of these clothes. Email me la.friperie.clothing@gmail.com

*********NEW 28/01/11

BLACK & WHITE PRINT BATWING DRESS $10
NEW WITH TAGS! No size marked on the tag as I bought this in Taiwan where everything is free size (cos in Asia they're all skinny minnies) so I'd say S-M. I didn't get a chance to try it on before I bought it, again the neckline here didn't suit me. I hope someone else finds it a nice home :)

SHIPPING & HANDLING $8

*********NEW 28/01/11

BLUE LONG SLEEVE DRESS WITH POCKETS $6

Dotti Size S. I used to wear this belted with tights, booties and a coat in winter. Never worn it much but I do remember wearing it to a baptism in France. True story.

BLUE DRESS WITH CROCHET DETAILING $7
SOLD!

STRAPLESS FLORAL PRINT DRESS $7

WHY LA FRIPERIE?

MOT DU JOUR: Friperie
DEFINITION: Used/Second hand clothing store
EXAMPLE: Je vais donner tous mes vĂȘtements Ă  la friperie - I'm going to give all my clothes to the op shop.
Related: la fripe (inf) - the clothing business (new or used); friper - to crumple/crush; un fripier - second-hand clothes dealer

In my attempt to de-clutter my life this year, I started a massive clean out of my room. I never realised exactly how many clothes I have until I pulled everything out of the wardrobe and tried to sort through it all. It's been a much bigger job than I initially thought it would be! (Two weeks later and I still haven't finished) Along with this came the idea to start a blog shop, basically somewhere for me to put my new Canon EOS 500D to use and perhaps get rid of the copious amount of clothing that has piled up over the years.

So here's to the beginning of La Friperie and to the beginning of a more organised life for me!
