American App-raisal

I don't think there are quite the right words to describe my love for American Apparel clothing. Almost everything they sell is the perfect balance between quirky yet wearable, and there is always such variety to choose from! One of my favourite factors of American Apparel is probably that everything that they sell always comes in a vast variety of different colours; usually in most other shops the lack of colour variety is my pet peeve. In particular I love their Fisherman jumpers and hope to purchase one soon (probably in either Sage Green or Vintage Grey, though I'm partial to the Lavender one too, hmmm.)But I am also a huge fan of their skirts and own several myself. Their pastel denim skater skirts were a huge hit in the summer, but for winter I think that their slim fit leather and twill skirts are lovely, and am eager to purchase one of these too! In the summer of 2013, I went to New York for 10 days (it was absolutely fantastic) and I went a little American Apparel overboard- but I don't feel guilty in the slightest. Every piece of clothing that I purchased whilst I was in New York was from American Apparel, but I felt that it was necessary as there are so few AA shops in England! A personal favourite of mine was and still is their crop tops; they are some of the few crops tops that I feel look flattering and pretty to wear, and make me feel slightly less self-conscious about bearing the mid-riff! Not only is AA clothing fabulous to look at, American Apparel is a sweatshop free, fairtrade company, so even though the clothing is rather over-priced, it is for an extremely worthy cause, so you can feel good about buying the clothes too!

Currently: I love these cute tennis skirts that AA have just brought in for SS14; my favourite colours that they are sold in are Sunset and Citron. In the UK these skirts are sold for £46.00
