This has never been worn, even though I always wanted to... Please give it some love!

~ color: black with burgundy, periwinkle, and violet embroidery
~ label: Express
~ condition: new, never worn
~ Only $7!

Magenta crochet shrug, $15

2006-12-20T12:31:00.000-08:00

Here's an adorable shrug that is brand new with tags still attached! It's a crocheted shrug with hints of gold thread weaved in. A rosette is attached on the left. Wear it casually over a top and jeans or dress it up and wear it over a hot black dress & boots.

~ size: M/L
~ color: magenta/burgundy with gold thread
~ label: Arden B.
~ condition: New with tags!
~ Only $15

Gray w/burgundy skirt, $8

2006-12-04T10:22:00.000-08:00

Here's a really flattering fall/winter skirt! It's ankle length and would be great with some tall boots. A rear slit allows room for you to move. It's nice, too, since it is fully lined...keeps a little warmth in (in the winter months you might want another layer), and doesn't allow any embarrassing "see-through" moments since the top layer is sheer. Since the top layer is a sheer layer, it is very flattering to your movement!

The color is best in the first picture, but the second shows you the great, subtle and elegant print. I used to love wearing this skirt, but it hasn't made it into rotation for a while. It's in perfect condition, so I hope you'll want her...

~ size: 3/4
~ label: Express
~ color: dark gray with black & deep burgundy print (the black is velvety)
~condition: Great!
~ yours for only $8!

Asymmetrical flutter top, $14

2006-12-01T11:32:00.000-08:00

Here's another one that's new with tags...I love this cut! It falls well below the waist has ruching in the waist--so, no riding up!...also very flattering and slimming. The chiffon drapes asymetrically over the shoulder with hidden straps underneath, so the top doesn't fall and so the chiffon doesn't ever appear pulled. And, this is oh-so feminine! Please give her some love.

~ size: S
~ label: Arden B
~ color: pink
~ condition: never worn w/tags attached
~ Orginally $59, yours for only $14

Wrap-around Hipster Tuxedo Skirt, $22

2006-12-01T06:15:00.000-08:00

So great for holiday parties! This jet black wrap mini is made of a double layer of stretch fabric--not too stretchy, but just enough to look sleek. There is some beading around the hip to make it look like a belt. This one is really classy!

Wear this with solid black tights and ankle boots. Or dress up a full-body suit with leggings. Or the classic-bare-legged with strappy heels.

This one is never worn and still has it tags attached. Please show it some love!

~size: 3/4 (stretches and is a hipster, so can also fit 5/6)
~label: Express
~color: Jet black
~condition: brand new, with tags
~Originally $79, yours for only $22

Tonight!!! I promise, pinky swear...

I've got a few items w/tags still attached. Some party clothes, and more! Some tonight and more through the next few days...

Sorry, I've had a head-spinning busy week...I'll try to make up for not posting in the next few days.

Brown corduroy carpenter pant, $7

2006-11-21T14:52:00.000-08:00

I just read that in Jane mag that the roomy pant is coming back in...great for my short stalky legs! =P

These cords are so soft...they're great for the cooler climate, too! They are a men's pant, so they are a little more generous in the hips than women's carpenter pants. They also sit perfectly on the hips--low-rise without revealing any "cracks." The 30" inseam is just too long for me, so I didn't get to enjoy these, so I hope you do. You can hem them, but I just don't have the skillz...and I was too lazy/busy/neglectful to do it myself. They are like new, so I hope they find a good home.

~ men's size 29 (best fits a women's size 4)
~ label: Old Navy
~ color: brown (the full length pictures are best representations)
~ condition: like new
~ Only $7!

Dance pant, Whoa! only $4

2006-11-20T14:40:00.000-08:00

This is a knit dance pant with heather grey trim peeping out of the waistband. So cute! You can pair this with the Nike warm-up jacket below. Dress it up with a long sweater or wear under a dress or tunic.

The 31" inseam was too long for me, so I only wore it 2ce...folded up into a cropped pant, so this one is pretty much new. The picture, however seems to have uploaded with a grey blur on the pant leg...that isn't on the pant. It's all black, except for the grey trim. Please give these comfy pants a home...

~ size: M, very stretchy (can fit a hippy small to a slightly narrow large)
~ label: Freestyle, by Danskin
~ condition: like new
~ color: black with grey trim
~ Only $4!!!

Apologies...

2006-11-20T14:33:00.000-08:00

I am so sorry for being absent for so long. I hope to be much better with my blogging this holiday season.

Here's a tank that was sold straight from my home before I could post it. I am posting it to get your opinion. Do you want to see more of items like this???

It's a knit tank made by Ripcurl. It's a navy & burnt orange tank with a front pocket. The close-up of the pocket best shows the color of this top.

Retro Nike Warm-up Jacket, $11

2006-11-20T14:17:00.000-08:00

This jacket has kept me warm many cold fall & winter mornings. It is lined, has hidden ribbed
cuffs around the sleeves, and the waist, to keep you toasty. It is also roomy enough for extra layers. The hood hides away in the collar and secures with velcro. The jacket is also roomy enough to layer up.

This sporty find looks great with your workout bottoms or jeans. Pair it with a mini skirt for some extra sass!

~ size: M
~ label: Nike
~ color: mocha w/ivory & black trim/accents
~ condition: like new!
~ 1 of a 2-piece (no pants, sorry!). Originally $80+ for the set, jacket is yours for just $11.

Olive green Esprit shrug, $8

2006-11-09T12:28:00.000-08:00

Cute & soft, this goes with everything! This is a 3/4 sleeve, button down shrug. Wear it over a 3/4 sleeve cotton button down blouse, any cami, dress, funky boots...ANYTHING! For $8, you can't go wrong!

~ size: M
~ color: olive-green
~ label: Esprit
~ condition: excellent!
~ originally $50+, yours for only $8

This is more like it...a fall sweater! Soft Esprit knit, charcoal gray body and collar, light grays across the chest, ivory shoulders...oh-so comfy and slimming! The zipper goes all the way up the top of the collar to give you a warm turtleneck.

Shown here, the yummy sweater is layered over a white cami, so you can see where the sweater ends.

Soft, light, and white cotton. It's almost wrinkle-proof! Yes, it's a little light for this season, but it's such a pretty layering piece! Then again, there are some parts of this country experiencing a late season warm spell...For $4, how can you go wrong???

GRAND OPENING!!!

2006-10-16T15:30:00.000-07:00

Welcome to The Treasure Trunk!!!!

Having a shopping habit can be challenging when the shopaholic is a packrat...After finding such fun clothing, it's hard to part with them. Inspired by the shopblog, ShopMyCloset, I realized it is much easier to part with my "friends" when I know they'll be loved in another home...yours. As you can see, I was inspired to begin my own shopping blog, The Treasure Trunk.

As this is my first venture into somewhat of an online store, I would greatly appreciate any feedback you are willing to offer me.

Thank you!!!

Please enjoy these first three posts for my grand opening. I will try my hardest to post at least one item per weekday....

Sexy sueded DKNY hipster jeans, $18

2006-10-16T15:08:00.000-07:00

So wonderfully soft micro-sueded, milk chocolate brown jeans. The micro-suede seems to have been brushed over a soft dark blue denim pant. It's brown all over, except for some weathering, where the blue peeks through. The lack of back pockets on these hipsters complement just about any tush. A soft, subtle seam around the leg, just above the knee make these pants seem like real suede from afar, but the suede meets denim is just too funky fun & sexy! And how convenient, these are MACHINE WASHABLE!

~ size: 8
~ label: DKNY
~ color: chocolate brown w/ hints of dark blue denim underneath weathered areas
~ Excellent condition!!!
~ originally $85, yours for $18

2006-10-16T14:42:00.000-07:00

~ size: S (can also fit a M)
~ falls just below the hips, fitted through the waist (slimming)
~ sturdy leather, with a synthetic lining

Wool Jumper Dress, $24

2006-10-16T13:56:00.000-07:00

Awesome fall jumper!!! I've loved wearing it with a cream cowl neck and brown tights, or with a crisp white cotton button-down underneath...The knit & hip belt gives a grown-up feel to the comfy jumper dress. The sleek lining prevents any itch. Worn only half a dozen times, this dress is in EXCELLENT condition!!!

The dress falls mid-thigh length, zips in the back with hook & eye closure to secure. Hardware on the belt is a pale antiqued brass.

~ Size: 4
~ Brand: Express
~ Color: Tannish-brown & black knit w/ flocks of earthy hues. See top right photo.
