American Apparel Reviews

[ 14 May 2007 ]

More things I bought from American Apparel. On top I’m wearing a Sheer Jersey Chemise in Teal (medium), & on the bottom I’m wearing California Fleece Pants in Black (medium).

Now, those of you who recall yesterday’s outfit (here) will remember that I was wearing a “grey” hoodie “dress” from AA. The reason I bought the Sheer Jersey Chemise in a medium was because I thought that if I bought it bigger than I needed, maybe it would be long enough to wear underneath the hoodie dress. I was wrong. This is so short, it only just covers my butt — just like the dress, except not as modest. Very frustrating. It’s also too long to wear as a top, it looks kind of ridiculous & too casual. If I was the sort of girl who liked to rock skinny jeans or show off her thighs in general, then this top would probably be seen outside the house. However, I am not that sort of girl & therefore, it will probably remain in the category of sleepwear. / 5

The pants, however, are another story entirely. I bought a medium because I thought they might shrink in the wash, so I’m waiting to see if that happens. (Good thing they have a drawstring though, or they would fall straight off me.) They’re a really good, straight cut, so they don’t cling to my thighs & make me look lean & sleek. They are SO comfortable, I adore them. They are quite long, so good for tall people. Also, with a pair of heels or wedges they can easily be dressed up. I cannot recommend them highly enough. / 5
