[Highland Park] Danang Designer pants for sale
by Taryn Belmonte 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi neighbors, My boyfriend bought me these lovely Danang pants while we were on vacation last week and when we got home I realized that they are actually not quite the right size for me. Being designer, they were expensive. $194 to be exact. Size: S (which is for a Dress size 4 or 6 and a Jean size 27/28) I can't return them because the little boutique store where we bought them is a long plane ride away. Please check out the pictures and come on by to try them on any time. They are black and gorgeous and still have all their tags. I never wore them outside the dressing room/house. $100 or best offer. Thanks, Taryn 412-512-6965
