California Select.

I have a love/hate relationship with American Apparel...

Most of the dislike stems from my frustration at random things being either overpriced, simple to make or sometimes, just ugly (fanny pack anyone?).
I do however love looking at the California Select ebay store, AA's own vintage shop.
They have several "California Select Originals" which have sparked ideas for future D.I.Y.s, like the "Hannah" oversized tank and the "Schoolgirl" cutout dress. After finding this fall lookbook for California Select, I'm thinking perhaps I will fit the bodysuit I won from American Apparel through Chictopia (thanks ChicRewards!), since there is a model is closer to my size than any other AA models thus far. One can only hope, right?

I promise...

There are outfits coming! In less than 12 hours.
In the meantime...

I could really use a wiggle dress.
This one would go great with my new sheer tights!
(I just wish it was my size.)

Haitus.

I've been doing some holiday catching up... Seeing old friends, eating massive dinners with family, and spending time with my boyfriend before school starts up and we're both super busy.
Sorry that I gave no indication of my short break, but it was pretty much an accident...
The good news: I have outfit posts galore just waiting to be posted!
But first....some inspiration from California Select.

P.S. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The world's cutest tiny dress.

If you have an Ebay account, and happen to be an X-Small....
by all means BID ON THIS DRESS.
I'll live vicariously through you.

I want you.

i want you sooooo bad, it's driving me mad.
