American Apparel is one of my favourite places to shop. I’m the kind of person who places comfort above all else, so their t-shirts and hoodies are wardrobe staples, much to my mother’s disappointment (if she had her way, I’d be in shift dresses and ballet flats and pastels everyday). Anyway, a few days ago, I had planned on picking up some hoodies in preparation for another Vancouver fall. Long story short, I left the store instead with two miniature versions of American Apparel’s signature hoodie – complete with the white zipper, pockets and super-soft cotton fleece – for Stella and buddy Charlie: pink for Stella, and chocolate brown for Charlie.
