Appaman Goes Preppy Punk for Fall

It was eighty degrees, but my daughter wouldn’t take off her new cord skirt. Paired with bright pink leggings, I was melting just looking at her.

But when you look that cool, apparently the heat doesn’t bother you.

She was wearing two parts of the newest line from Appaman, a marriage of punk and preppy that’s as eighties as it gets. Heavy on the corduroy, a perfect weight for fall, the line has touches of princess cute for girls, easily dressed up or down.

The cord skirt is one of those dressy pieces – in black or brown with a flouncy bottom and double snap placket, it’s perfectly pretty (get it for $37). Add a set of leggings with a sweet buttons down the ankle, and it’s gone punk (get them for $27).

Kitty tees for girls are a dime a dozen. Ditto the princess tops. But a princess kitten dripping in jewels somehow makes this long-sleeve tee more punk rock than poofy. Get it for $33 at Psychobaby!
