Comfy, Everyday Clothes

by Pascalle on August 3rd, 2007

Let’s fall back on the super sexy clothing, shoes and accessories for just a second. Let’s talk real-life everyday wear. As in, “Dammit, baby needs more ________ (insert item here), gotta run to the store/mall/Walmart/Target (Tarjé)”, wherever. You get the drift. Clothing you can put on without giving too much thought or preparation.  Finally!  I’m talking about real-life stuff, huh?  :)

Allow me to introduce to you the California Fleece collection by American Apparel.

Now, ignore the overtly sexy pic of the green zip jogger (it was the only one I could find with a female modeling it–and this is tame compared to some other advertising pics as American Apparel is no stranger to controversy). Just focus on the point of this post: that the set is probably one of the most comfortable suits you’ll ever buy. You can also get the hooded version:

They came very highly recommended by a co-worker of mine (she wore hers often and owns more than one). She told me about them during an office chit-chat about how us tall gals (I’m about 5′9″) always have problems finding pants that are long enough to fit us (my co-worker is 6′1″–yes, 6′1″. She’s a goddess!) Specifically, jogging pants. One wash of any other jogging suit I’ve owned shrank so much I’d have to give them away or risk walking around in ‘high-waters’. Perish the thought! Like my girl, Whitney Houston would say, “Oh hell to the naw!”

The top and pant set together will set you back around $100.00, or you can purchase each piece separately. If I had to choose one over the other I’d recommend getting the pants as you can put them with any top you wish (t-shirt, tank, etc). The pants are $32.00 USD ($40.00 CDN). But I’ll tell you a secret: you can find them much cheaper on Amazon. Shhhhhhh! :)

All in all, these are for the days when you just want to throw your hair in a ponytail, put on some flip flops and run errands. Or not. You can put the set on for just about anything really.  Believe me, you’ll thank for me for it!
