    Sigh. Someday I will figure out how to pair my style preferences with my genetics. Someday...
    I'm really petite, but my solution has always been to wear a black convertible bra (the type with removable straps) and style it with a single strap across the body or connect multiple straps with the intention of it being visible. Sure, there's something really erotic about the general lack of undies that is missed out on, but...deliberately styled underpinnings have potential to work _with_ (rather than against) genetics.

      I am sure you do it in an elegant way, but I must say that I find the recent fashion for showing off bras distasteful. Maybe 1% of women I see around NY get it right. Most of them veer into the vulgar/sloppy territory.

          Yep. And shot two others for one of our upcoming F/W editorials.

            The convertible bra thing is a good idea — and I bet you look awesome with what you do with it! But I am over 40 and it definitely changes what one can pull off, sadly...

                Argh, I was too slow.

                Does anyone know what collection this is from or where I can get something similar?

                    I recently found an Ann D women's shirt in a thrift shop and decided to pick it up. I am curious about which collection it is from, but despite my best efforts I have not been able to find any reference to it online. Maybe someone here is able to recognize it?

                      Where is the cold weather so I can wear this mens Rick Owens blistered lamb coat? So excited and truly shocked by the chance I took that a men's would work but it did. It Did!!!! Love when that happens.

                        Cool. I'm glad you went against my advice, haha. :-)

                          Does anyone know the best place to sell women's clothing/shoes/accessories that don't fit the ethos of SZ? Trying to sell a pair of Chanel boots that don't fit my girlfriend. Any help is appreciated! Is there another forum that I should know about or should I just go the ebay/consigner route?

                            Vestiaire Collective I have experienced both as a buyer and as a seller, and I can only recommend the experience. Very easy to use, and things move fast as long as you're not too greedy with your pricing.

                            Beware though, the content is curated, and some of your items may be rejected by the team, or they may ask for more pics. It is best to read their recommendations well before taking any pictures, so as not to waste time. It is also a good idea to use a proper camera, as I'm pretty sure some of my items were rejected due to the poor quality of the iPhone pics I used (my phone is the only camera I own)

                            However, Chanel boots in mint condition should be a breeze to get past them and sell (Chanel moves fast, except for vintage)

                              I second Vestaire Collective. I've not sold with them but have had good experiences. If the boots are not accepted for some reason, I'd recommend TheRealReal next. You'll get less cash than you would on Vestaire, but they'll do all the work. I have sold a fair bit of stuff there, since I'm too lazy to do the work.
