So, I recently have been bitten by the "American Apparel" bug.

Here are some of my favorite pieces (that I own):

(I wear this without leggings..it makes a nice t-shirt dress but it's a tad short, so I have to wear white shorts underneath it, not to mention a white cami cause it's kind of see-through :p)

black jersey high waisted skirt/dress...I wear it as a dress when I go to parties and a skirt on casual days

I hate these socks with a passion. I'm just unhappy with the style..they're more sporty but there's almost nothing I can wear them with. I want different colored ones, I have no clue why I bought these ones.

* WISH LIST *

which one should I get? The melange skirt (first one) or the tulip one? (second) the

MELANGE ($30 USD)

OR

CALIFORNIA TULIP ($32 USD)

I also want...

Melange Skirt!! I also love AA, my city finally got one downtown and I looovveee it. They are sort of pricey but I think they're worth it!! Try their zip up bodysuits too, they look hot with black pants!

The AA where I live is SOOOO far away

(45 minutes for me) but it's well worth the drive, once I get in there I GO NUTS!! And once I go back to college, it's literally right down the street...but that's a bad thing, cause I won't be able to control my wallet if that's the case

Omg, I am always wayyyy too hesitant to try their bodysuits...I just don't think I can pull them off!!!

I was thinking of the Melange skirt as well (it's between heather black and navy)...but the tulip skirt is really adorable too. For the melange skirt, do you girls like heather black? If you go to the site you can see more colors. I am not sure how heather black is in person but it looks really nice in the picture.

here are the melange skirts

Polyester Micro-Fiber Tulip Skirt - Skirts - American Apparel Online Store

here are tulip skirts in a different material...I really, really think these are cute. AND they're cheaper than both of them! However i don't really like the color selection, I think I'd get navy if I bought the polyester material one...that, or silver. What do you guys think?

and the regular tulip skirts...

the main difference is the way it wraps around at the bottom. I guses I have to just try it on.

What are some of the things you guys like/want?

oh, and I'm 5'2", so those thigh high socks SWALLOW my legs...I can't pull them too tightly or else they cover my butt. They are cute but I also don't know if I have the guts to wear them out with certain outfits...what kind of clothes would you suggest wearing with them?

I wear really preppy or kinda punk outfits with my thigh high socks. Like I'll wear a destroyed denim skirt, band hoodie/shirt. One day I wore a cute graphic tee, a denim skirt, Vans flats. I try to keep it simple since they already get attention lol.

was thinking the same thing, girl. I think I would personally pair it with some a graphic tee tucked into some denim shorts, but i have no clue what kind of shoes I would wear. I'm not a huge on the tennis shoes or vans, but that is just my preference, and I certainly will not wear heels just to walk around lol.

They do get so much attention! I've only seen one girl in my entire campus wear thigh highs, and one other one wearing knee-socks. They definitely make you do a double take, but I love the way it looks, so to heck with anyone who gives me a "weirdo" look!

I used to wear mine with chunky trendy mary janes. But I am 34 now, I did this back when I was 19/ 20 when the thigh high socks first started taking off.

I like to consider myself somewhat petite, I'm just on the verge.

But I went in there to check out the summer jumpers, I seriously had to Urkel that shit! Frustrating as hell!!! Guess my torso was toooo long or something. My friend and I had our laughs and was glad there were no dudes in the changing rooms.

I love their above the knee socks. I have a pair in grey and they are lovely. I have the perfect outfit to wear them with too, I just need to save up the money to buy it ... :p

I <3 AA so much! I have so many wish list items from that store.

I love how they make even basics look so stylish!

I just wish it wasn't so expensive, because the price is what keeps me from shopping there. arg

The reason it costs so much is because it is made in Downtown LA, opposed to in sweatshops and other workplaces that don't treat workers correctly.

So you're not only paying for reasonbly good quality clothes, but for good working conditions for the people who are making the clothes.
