Halloween American Apparel style!

So as most know i recently took over for visuals at my store, i still have a guy who is helping me while i lear nthe ropes, but i do all the display stuff on my own. it's more paper work help than anything else. On tuesday i did the halloween displays, i chose to do super hero's because i am that nerdy. You would seriously be amazed at how many people come in and want to make a super hero costume in our store. I've had people ask me to help them do incredibles, fantastic four, wonder woman, catwoman (i've done three different versions!) batgirl, poison ivy. it's kinda cray. so we did a super hero display.

for those that know me, you know how much i love fashion. Not clothes, but fashion. I love finding the perfect pieces, and putting things together in a way that people hadn't thought of before. I don't get a thrill from finding one article of clothing, but finding the one perfect garmet that completes an outfit. i calculate everything i wear, and i am always looking for my next great find, my next great look. Well i just found out yesterday that i am going to be doing merchandising for American Apparel. I am so excited. I will be dressing the window displays, and mannaquins in the store. I will also be in charge of product placement inside the store. I am so excited about this oppurtunity. I love American Apparel, and wear there clothes like it's my job, so to be able to do this for work is going to be such a blast, i already feel like i am going to be learning so much. i will be going through training the next couple weeks, and after october 11th I will be flying solo. Hopefully this will be an exciting developement that will grow into something else.

Thank you fashion god, i love you too!

So i love American Apparel, if you haven't yet seen it's wonders, go now. Get in your car drive to the trendiest part of your town, or every corner in New York (which ever happens to be closer) and visit one of their stores. American Apparel is sweat shop free clothing, made out of quality fabric, at a good price. most of their clothing is plain with no real pattern, they have just stared introducing products with stripes in it, and everything is designed with the idea of layering. Recently they have just started making pants. They started with a denim jean, which they call the slim slack. When i first tried them on i melted, they are like no denim i have ever tried. they then introduced it in several colors, including red, royal blue, purple, yellow, and green. they have now introduced the pants in corduroys, which come in grey, navy, and a burgandy. I want the burgandy cords like i want a stable relationship. they also have unisex shorts, and leggings. i love shopping at American Apparel, because everything there goes together, you can make almost any outfit work. i am also a firm believer in having a signature color and style, and they make it so easy to accomplish (my signiture color is Teal, and Mint, i have two so i can layer!). I use American Apparel when i need to have a quick fix for an outfit thats not working, if a jacket seems to dull, i go get a bright colored 50/50 shirt to make it pop. When i feel i look to plain i pop into American Apparel and get a jacket or a fleeced hoodie, my tired jeans and vintage tee suddenly look alot cooler. my latest purchase has been a double sided unisex vest in Black/Grey, Red/Purple, and Cream/Tan. I absolutly adore my vests. So in conclusion please please please check out american apparel if you need some rocking layers, or a quick fashion pick me up.

you can find them online at http://americanapparel.net or check out one of their many locations throughout the us.
