I went to American Apparel…

Monday January 31st 2011

…and all I got was this piece of fabric that might be too cool for me but I felt pressure to buy it because all the KEWL employees with weird glasses and watches that didn’t actually work were staring at me lousy top.

However, in hindsight, which is now present time, I like this shirt.  It has STRIPES.  And for those of you that don’t know - I LOVE STRIPES.  Also, it’s baggy and allows me to feel like it’s totally okay to eat cheesecake for breakfast.  Because that’s what I did yesterday.  And it was totally okay…if not completely awesome.

But, yes, yesterday was actually my first adventure into an American Apparel.  I had purchased a Groupon months ago to get $50 of American Apparel for $25 and it was about to expire.  So I pumped myself up, I listened to some sweet Jock Jams (because it’s IRONIC, not because…I like it….or anything…) and I went in.  

I’d say like 20% of the clothes were kewl and then 50% were trying to make you think they were kewl by being really weird and then 30% of the clothes were just weird.  And EVERYTHING was expensive.  Leggings for $42?  Look, I don’t care how hip* the girl at the register with the fro-hawk and layered body suits looks, I’m not going to pay $42 for spandex that makes me feel like my butt is trying to run away with the spoon. 

But I got a neat jacket along with this shirt.  Look for it soon.

*I said hip.  I am my father.
