Ok, we know we've been sporadic at best with our posting lately. It's like we're in the last weeks of high school, post finals and college acceptance letters. However, it's not that we don't care; it's quite the contrary. Your regularly scheduled writer is toiling away on our redesign, and we, well. We have a job that is rather demanding, and our 2-man team recently just dropped to 1. We are busy beyond all belief, and when we're not being paid to look at a computer, we generally refuse to.
We are doing the best we can, and we thank you for sticking with us. We will, however, always continue to take reader mail; let's face it. Readers get answers, we get off the hook in trying to think of what to talk about. Totally win-win.
Today's question!
Dear Little Bunny,
I have a $35 credit to American Apparel, and I don't know what to get. I looked; most of it seems pretty plain or basic. I know you talk about them a lot - what would you recommend?
Thanks!
Now, we have made our love for the Leisure Dress very, very apparent. We won't mention it again at the risk of boring our regular readers (but we will note that we have 4, and wear them throughout the summer and winter). At $34, it fits the bill.
We've also talked about our love for the Deep V Neck shirts, but none of that is really exciting, or new. We're very intrigued by some of the recent arrivals, though - and we're going to hit up our local store to try them on. If someone gave us $35, here's what we would buy.
We almost can't quite believe how cute the Organic Baby Rib Cross-Back Sundress is. We know the cream scarf-belt is what's really lovely, but even without it, the dress has a great line to it. We think the top is perfect for the season, the skirt is full (or at least looks that way), and we genuinely like the color. Add some sandals, and you're all set.
OBRCB Sundress, $39 (ok, not quite $35 but it's like $35 and a latte)
Now, we post this with some hesitation. We've tried this bathing suit on, and we learned very quickly that anything but black was see through, and that if you're long-torsoed or tall SIZE UP. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, SIZE UP. We know several people who swear by this suit, Penthouse mention or no. We'll try it again; bathing suits are expensive. The only others we've seen in this price range are at Old Navy, and we can't handle any more stars and stripes bikinis.
We have no idea where we would wear this romper, but we know we'd want to wear it everywhere. We love the material, we love the color, we love the seemingly easy fit without being sloppy.
