I'm not the kind of person to talk about what I've been buying or how much money i've spent but I personally LOVE watching 'hauls' (I hate that word) on youtube. I love seeing what people are buying and the reasons they have chosen the particular item. Maybe it's because I am super nosey but I'm just really interested in why people buy certain things.
Anyway after a mini shopping spree on Portobello Road I thought I would divulge the items I bought - all of which were from American Apparel. I love everything about American Apparel except the prices, it is waaaay too expensive and most of the items aren't worth the price tag but every now and then I just seem to give in.
I convince myself i've done well by looking at said purchases as an investment. All of the items are simple, plain and classic - they won't be going 'out of fashion' anytime soon and they can be thrown on with anything. I figure it's okay to spend a bit of money on items you can wear for years and years unlike some of the things I buy in Topshop which can only be worn for one season.
I finally bite the bullet and got the 'easy jean' I got the disco pants about 2 years ago (maybe more) but they are so battered now and I don't think I will be replacing them. I thought I would go for these instead, they are such a great shape and well and truly pull you in. They are very flattering and could be worn for a more dressy occasion with a crop top or some sort of embellished jacket. They are very very skinny so I prefer to wear them with a baggy tee or jumper but for you skinnier gals you can really make the most of your figures.
I thought this scrunchy was really cute, takes me back to my younger years circa 1995. I'm pretty lazy with my hair and it spends a lot of time either in a messy bun or just in a really high pony on the top of my head, I thought this would make the messy hair look a little more interesting.
I'm not sure why these joggers caught my eye. With the whole 'sports' trend in this season I thought these would be really cool with my high top converse or my Topshop wedge boots - very casual and comfy.
This caught my eye as I thought it would look really nice under a white tee or something slightly see through, just to jazz an outfit up a little.
I know this is a rubbish picture but they were really hard to photograph. These are two really really baggy tees. They are a lovely silky soft fabric which hang really nicely. I got it in both colours as I figured they could be worn over anything for a simple look.
I have been after one of American Apparel's purse's for a while now, they come in a miltitude of colours and sizes. I went for the mini purse size which is perfect for me. I tend to fill my purse up with a load of unnecessary things, this purse stops me doing this as it only holds whats I really need i.e a few cards, cash and notes.
