You run the risk of spending big on something that doesn't work out, but it's so much more rewarding to have everything in your possession be beautiful and adored, I think.<BR/><BR/>I adore that Mociun dress but I am sure it would be too small.

I'm still going through the attachment phase myself. Have a terrific trip to Paris!<BR/>btw - have you seen Lisa's new collection (lebouton)?<BR/><BR/>Leanneleannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190074864533301038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-79857170497199589172008-12-24T11:41:00.000-05:002008-12-24T11:41:00.000-05:00shipping is usually calculated by weight, USPS pri...shipping is usually calculated by weight, USPS priority mail, so i ballpark the figures. a lightweight, non-bulky top, skirt, etc. will usually cost around $6-8 with delivery confirmation, something bulkier is around $10-12. i tack on a dollar or two for the bother of going to the post office (never pleasant, in my experience). for items that i spent a lot of money on but never really wore, i add 10-20% of the amount i spent (i.e., not its retail price) so i don't feel too miserable about myself. the total amount is usually quite a bit less than i would have made on ebay (those pesky seller fees), and hopefully whoever ends up with the item will really love it. also, because i hate the frenzy (or lack thereof) of auctions and the stress of first come, first serve, i've structured it more like a giveaway with a random name draw. it's an interesting experiment, at any rate.<BR/><BR/>hope your travels are safe!ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414537639917539473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-33779223661925175592008-12-24T09:59:00.000-05:002008-12-24T09:59:00.000-05:00oh, hey, wow, you mentioned me. that was a nice su...oh, hey, wow, you mentioned me. that was a nice surprise. i have one foot out the door heading to the airport, but i hate missing out on my favorite blogs even for a few hours (i'm a junky). i can totally relate to this. i am going back and forth about a handful of things in my closet too and it's the exact same thing, feeling bad, seeing the inherent value to the items, but not having personal value for them. will explore options when i get back. <BR/>how do you calculate shipping?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08154615284957070071noreply@blogger.com
