I happened to have found myself a little bored on this chilly evening in NYC, so instead of doing a post on the obvious functional item of choice for this weather, a winter coat, I decided to check out AA (American Apparel) to see what apparel and accessory options they have churned up in their LA factories. I always have fun when shopping AA and when there are dreary days ahead I look to brighter side of my closet. Sometimes I feel a little uninspired by AA’s offerings in some of their locations. But, when you have a strong merchandising presence, one cannot expect for every item to be available to every location. I know where the goods are though, the NET! I hope you like.
(1) Sheer Solid Stripe Panty Hose
It seems that ever since Chanel released their two-tone tights that came in Black and Ivory as well as Black Lace and Black color-ways many more accessible fashion brands have been swift to recognize the leg in major ways. Just look at the super uber trend, the legging. I hated those at first but now look at the innovation. These beauties aren’t available for purchase as of yet but look out for them.
(2) Velvet Floppy Bow
This little darling makes me smile with schoolgirl glee (literally). Seemingly inspired by the Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton Bunny Ears that were showcased in his Fall 2009 Collection for the luxury fashion house, these velvet sweeties are a little less dramatic but add a subtle flair to the coif! Hope to see you in these head bangers, only $22 at www.americanapparel.com
(3) ARISTOCEG Aristocrat Eyeglass
Sun/eyeglass design is increasingly heading towards wearing an entire junkyard on your face. I love all the new aesthetics in garb for the eyes but nothing beats out the streamlined look of a classic. These 70’s inspired specs include nonprescription clear lenses that can be filled with a prescription by your optometrist. The frames are of optical quality so you can look forward to getting a great wear out of these. Sold for $65 on www.AmericanApparel.com
(4) Sheer Luxe Cut-Out Pantyhose
I love these bottom-less panties. They are just so wrong in the right way. Only to be flashed from a short skirt (if you ask me) these girls are sure to shock everyone in sight! I remember when these surfaced on AA as a possible release. Thank god that they did. I love how they make you ponder, how to wear these without looking like Howard Stern circa the 1992 Video Music Awards? Have fun girls! Only $28 on www.AmericanApparel.com
(5) Winter Jacket
HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY! AA has outerwear for winter! I love pea coats and all the other wintry staples but personally give me a nice parka or snorkel any day. At times I like for my outfittings to have a certain “static”, not too put together a look (We will get into “static” in a later post) and a nice parka helps me to achieve such. I like how this version of the classic is slightly shorter in length than previous versions and I love the drawstring waist. Of course this version is unisex so those on both sides of the sexual persuasion can look forward to enjoying it for winter. $157 on www.AmericanApparel.com
