i bought a cardigan similar to that at forever 21 for 3.99 in dark heather grey :X...of course the quality is shitaeous but I plan to only wear it around the house, or if I want to pull off my carrie bradshaw look :OO
American Apparel I <3, but it's just too overpriced sometimes and not the best of quality. I got something similar to the interlock mini skirt for 6.80 at forever 21, and something like the bandeau bra for 4.50 opposed to 14.00.
Looks like XXI is ripping off other companies again :X
and thank youuu girl about town! I want to wear it in the high waisted style, that's hot

Print Cotton Spandex Jersey High-Waist Skirt - Skirts - American Apparel Online Store Canada
& the Shiny High Waist Leggings in Lame Matte Black:
Shiny High-Waist Legging - Pants & Leggings - American Apparel Online Store Canada
I want the Circle Scarf so badly; I love the Tie-Dye version.

I LOVE AMERICAN APPAREL!
Deep V tri blend tshirts are the sex! I love the athletic blue.
Btw, if you want to order wholesale, try Trendy Blanks - American Apparel. I did this with 8 other people. If you order up to $36 pieces, you get up to 75% off retail price, and no, it doesn't have to be 36 of the same shirt/color, it can be 36 of anything. I got 2 pairs of spandex shorts, 1 pair of track shorts, 3 tri-blend v necks, 3 hoodies (the flex hoodie, I got it for aroudn $20, instead of paying $42 each for them!). And that only cost me around $100!!!! It's amazing, if you can get a few friends together, you can REALLY cut costs and save money. And I believe the shipping is a flat rate as well.
Hope that helps, since it seems like you guys love American Apparel as much as I do.

AA prices are sooo bad, so my wishlist just continues to be a wish list.
I have the Melange skirt & the jersey high waist skirt/tube dress, it's so flattering, I want more!

Welcome to rehab!
Thanks for the link girl, but after putting some thought into it, I'm not sure if I'm going to keep investing in that store - it seems like the quality seems to be lacking for the prices I pay....I have to go back and reexamine before I make anymore judgements on that though :/
My wishlist has been narrowed down to one thing however. The creame bandeau pencil dress....it's 41 whopping dollars and trust me, I've tried the ways to wear them in the store but all but one looked completely ridiculous on me, not to mention felt totally uncomfortable. *sigh* I may be falling out of love with AA

What do you mean? I am talking about a few of the things I tried on there - I actually went and tried on the melange skirt and the quality was really not what I expected, I expected it to be of thicker material but it was quite thin and felt itchy against my skin...
Also it seems like some of the items there are just too much of a rip off, like the rope belt I bought a while back for 14 dollars.

AA really isn't worth it unless the labor conditions of other clothing companies are an issue to you, imo D:

Yeah definitely.
I still love their cardigans and lightweight jackets, but anything else I'm better off spending a bit more for way better quality, or way less for the same quality.

And I thought you were referring to the site with discounted AA, I was wondering if they were damaged AA items and that's why the wholesale prices were so low...

You have to click on the link all the way on the bottom of the product. Then it'll show you the price of each item depending on how many pieces you buy..

No, they're not damaged, the quality is the same as in store. It's just sold at wholesale price, for retailers and whatnot you know? I made an order with friends, we're all really happy with what we got.
