I’ve known the hype but never actually broke down and tried anything on at American Apparel. The clothes there look so cheap and tawdry, and not to mention everyone who works there looks like they are coming back to haunt me from my hair bear days. Not that I don’t dig the look (because there is a very strong appeal to the look) but I’m just not sure I can pull that look off head to toe.

Last Sunday I had a change of heart, or maybe it was because my girlfriend I was with dragged me in there,  but I tried on the whole store. The little sales guy was so cute in his earnest attempt to tell me I looked great in everything and no.. I didn’t look fat in the leggings that gave me muffin top.

I walked away with 4 great pieces though, one of which I’m sharing with you now. Go out and grab a pair quick before everyone you know has it. Think about it.. they are like skinny jeans without the wedgies and much more forgiving after overeating.
