As we drove up to the lot the first thing my friend said was, "Omg! Look at all those people!" And indeed there was a ton. But as we start getting closer we realized all those "people" were actually racks of clothes (lol). There still was a fair amount of people there (around ~40 I suppose). We went around 4pm and there was no line. And like I read online, the selection was made up of ugly styles, terrible sizes, and damaged goods. My friend and I both left empty-handed, but not disappointed. We actually only had a few things in mind that we really wanted, and they were items that probably wouldn't be selling for $6 at a rummage sale.
Since we happened to be downtown anyways we decided to go to the actual American Apparel store. On our way down there we stopped by Free People (just opened here last quarter!) and Anthropologie. I happened to see the two items I've been coveting for some time at the store, the Raglan Pullover and the Floral Lace Leggings. I didn't buy them there, but I'm definitely going to order them online sometime in the near future.
And of course we were both hungry from all the walking/shopping, so we finished our day by pigging out on sushi and Pinkberry. So not exactly an unproductive day afterall.
PS!! I added a few random accessories at the shop so check them out.
I hit up that rummage sale in Portland! It was packed and my friend and I were apparently the only ones who realized most of the clothes weren't worth buying. NOTHING was worth standing in line for an hour + just to check out, so we bailed empty handed. We were disappointed... but made our way to Nordstrom Rack instead. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe lace is not my style but can't wait to see what you pair it with! Wish I had some of those pullovers right now.
Janine: I'm glad there's someone out there that feels the same way I do. My friend was carrying a tank for a bit deciding whether or not to buy it, but it was one of those "Would you really buy this if it wasn't on sale?" So she ended up putting it back on the rack.
ReplyDeleteAnd I probably wouldn't have given those leggings another glance till I saw it on Fashion Toast/Rumi's blog. It looks great like this.
I wish I had a chance to go to this!
ReplyDeleteTaylor Sterling: I don't know what it was like the second day, or in the mornings, but there wasn't a lot of good items. I've only heard of a few people who even managed to snag anything good. :(
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love AA. Their clothes are so comfortable.
