OOTD - American Apparel Petticoat and Bertie Cowboy Boots!

Wednesday 24 April 2013

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.

Love Umbrellas Pink Heart UmbrellaBrolly: 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!

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!

P.S You may have noticed we've been nominated for 'Best Blogging Duo' in this year's Company Style Blogger Awards! We'd love you forever if you voted for us (we're on page 2).

  8. 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.

    Ps. I voted for you both the other day, good luck! :)
