Disco Pants Debacle

By Lina on April 23, 2012

XXS American Apparel Disco Pants arrived and.. They fit like a glove. To recap, I bought an XS during the bank holiday weekend online, decided a day later that maybe I should get an XXS just in case as everyone kept saying to size down (clearly the panic of one who had too much extra free time to over-think it set in), the XS small arrived on Friday, they fit fine, no struggle at all to put on so figured they’d be the ones I’d keep so wore them out.. But the XXS arrived today and they fit PERFECTLY. Everything about the them, the way they actually flatter me now, fit nice and tight around the leg, the leg length, EVERYTHING. The larger pair really started to stretch and sag pretty much as soon as I wore them, they were sooooo long on me, and just kept growing, the leg length on this pair is defintely petite-r..

Argghhhhh. FML. Guess I’m gonna have to sell the first pair on eBay now or something seeing as I’ve worn them..I bought a couple of loose crop tops from there as well which arrived with this order, they are pretty baggy being a one size job but I like ‘em. Although admittedly I do feel like an extra in Fame when I wear them together with the whole American Apparel ensemble.

So the moral of the story: If you’re also one of the trillion debating disco pant sizing; I can’t stress it enough, SIZE DOWN.

Disco Pants are here.. !

By Lina on April 13, 2012

Yay! My American Apparel Disco Pants arrived, I ordered an XS and they fit fine - I could probably squeeze into an XXS as apparently you’re meant to size down as they stretch out over time, but I’m impatient and these arrived today and I wanted to wear them out immediately! I really like them but obviously have doubts that I’m not slim enough to wear them. They would look killer with heels (and would be way more flattering!) but I’m still excited over my wedge trainers so teaming them with those today.

Talking of which, I’m ‘modelling’ (if you can call it modelling with my screw squinting-in-the-sun face) both pairs of the River Island Wedge High Tops I wrote about yesterday, so you all can see what they look like on. I had a lot of tweets about them so here they are, on. I wore the red yesterday (so am def keeping those) and am umming and ahhing over whether to keep the navy.. (not the best pics of the footwear, sorry, literally had five minutes to shoot and post this before running out the house!).

Hope you all have a great weekend!

American Apparel Voucher Goodies!

By Lina on January 3, 2011

Oh yes, my lovely American Apparel bits bought with my Groupon voucher have all arrived and I thought I’d post them here for you to see.. Which bits, what voucher, you ask? Check this post HERE for full details but in summary a few weeks back Groupon held a deal where you can purchase 1x £50 American Apparel voucher for half price! This means £50 worth of stock for only £25(!). They did the deal one day for in-store, I purchased, then they did the same deal again the next day for online, I purchased. Yep, so, I’m greedy and like a bargain.. And? Totes don’t regrets though, looove it and am actually going to get more things now I’ve got a new found taste for their signature on-trend basics.

Here are the things I got with me voucher..
