take a look at this douchery



is there even a hipster fashion scene anymore?

i think i might have done some d.i.y. clothes like, cutting, braiding and safety pinning some of my tops, but i never really got into the scene.

american apparel is one of those stores that i kinda avoided just because i didn't think it was that interesting. some of the worst outfits i have ever seen have been in their fitting rooms. i think it's great that a dress you buy there can be altered to look like 50 dresses, but most of them are unnecessary and most of them look pretty bad. i will say that there are exceptions!

i find the most interesting thing about american apparel isn't that hey pay fair wages.... it's that their clothes make the thinnest person look fat. seriously, some girl who's a size 2 will look like a size 14 if you mix the right/wrong pieces together.

the only people i see rocking american apparel now are young college students who are trying to imitate the now aging original hipsters. my friend describes it as the "baby scene."

i think that's brilliant.

note so that i don't sound like a total douchey hypocrite: i do own two american apparel items. a plain white wife beater which was used for a photo shoot and then my friend diana, gave me a gray scarf recently. i will say that i do like their scarves... which are basically just long pieces of t-shirt.
