Today's post is a little bit picture heavy because I have so much love for it! I started my hunt for the perfect petticoat back in January and by February I'd managed to locate this awesome petticoat by American Apparel.
Brolly: Love Umbrellas - Shirt: Warehouse - Belt: New Look - Skirt: American Apparel - Cowboy boots: Bertie
Unfortunately for me, they decided to discontinue it in this colour (whhhy!?) and by the time I'd discovered it, it had completely sold out in the UK. However they still had a few left in selected stores across the US and with the help of Ally from over the ocean, I ordered one online. Nothing that's worthwhile is ever easy, which is why the first skirt to arrive was covered in white paint... Thankfully the American Apparel customer service in the US is amazing (unlike here where they just ignore you) and my petticoat was quickly exchanged before it could disappear forever!
Bracelets: From markets in Australia, Argentina and Peru - Bag: Steve Madden
I've been desperate to wear it since it arrived! It's super soft and a really great length, they do sell a shorter reversible one but call me old fashioned because I prefer skirts to cover my goodies. It's perfect for the western trend which is why I wore it with my Perty cowboy boots from Bertie and a denim shirt.
Would you rock a petticoat? I can't wait to start wearing it with my Wildfox tees/vests. The possibilities are endless!
I like the pink brolly! :D

I love your petticoat! It's a shame they've discontinued this particular colour, it's lovely. I really like how you've styled your outfit, plus your hair looks so cute and goes perfectly with the look.
ReplyDeletePs. I voted for you both the other day, good luck! :)
You do look lovely in the petticoat! And the skirt is gorgeous! So flowy and very chic.
ReplyDeleteI do like American Apparel but it's quite expensive!
