This post is an ode to our dearly departed friend American Apparel, and my fortunately timed trip to New York just before all the stores in the US closed forever to stock up on anything I could get my hands on. One such thing was this plaid mini skirt, or tennis skirt, one of AA’s most recognisable pieces. A skirt like this does come with the risk of looking a little childish, or girl-with-a-lot-of-tumblr-followers, but sometimes I think it’s quite nice to just embrace that. American Apparel is of course sadly no more, so here are some naughty ebay dupes:
Here I paired my skirt with a Nick Cave bootleg (sorry Nick), opaque black tights and vegan Dr Martens, and the usual overesized faux leather biker jacket.
