mmmm mmmmm mmmmm
It's time for a try on haul
With me, Qcknd
ha ha ha ha
Also with, American Apparel
and Free People
Which I have never really shopped at before
So let's dive into it
I'll start off with the American Apparel Stuff
You guys know that I
Went Shooooping
So American Apparel is going out of business
and I didn't know that, Phillip DeFranco had mentioned it
but I thought they were being bought out
But they're actually, like, that's it
I didn't even know that
So.... I bought some stuff
And I feel like the stuff I bought is a little incomplete
Because I think I am going to continue to buy a little bit more of their stock
Until I can't
The girl I talked to at the American Apparel in downtown Philadelphia
said that they will be open until March
So please don't buy the white denim skirt because
I'm going to go back and get it
No but for real, go to American Apparel oh my God
I felt so bad the whole time I was there
I was like "I've dreamed of affording this stuff my whole life"
and the girl was like "I'm loosing my job"
"but that's cool"
I felt so bad
the girl there was really cute
The first thing that I'm like literally pulling out of the bag
Um, is this denim circle skirt
I know that this like
its time has come and gone
I really do
Um, but, I don't care
I've wanted one of these forever
I've wanted the dupe forever
At Forever 21 I wanted the dupe
And heres the real deal
It has this like little side button
and I got this in a medium
and that is just because the length of this is a little challenging
I mean I think I am a medium, but
but some of the lengths on this are a little challenging
With American Apparel stuff, I try everything on and then
and then fit whatever the look I am going for is, because
I can be extra small to extra large
in American Apparel stuff, I have to try it all on
This I went for a medium
annnnnnd, this was originally $58
And with the going out of business discount, it was $34
That puts this right in my, like, "huuuh, I'll buy that now" kind of range
The next thing I have is this little cropped fuzzy sweater
This was kind of towards the front of the store
It was discounted, and then additionally discounted
I think just because it was a "featured discount" item, I don't know
And I got this in a size regular small,
Like, standard small
Um, and It's just cropped like that
and you can see it's hairy fuzzy
So, I didn't love this neckline
but I think wearing it with a bandanna, um, would look really cute
And I love that it's cropped because
I can wear it with a skirt, like not tucked in
Maybe a little bit of that stomach tattoo showing
If I have to reach up for something high
And I always love these like
Fuzzy sweaters. I think this color looks good.
And even though I only have like
6 more weeks I feel to like, wear this
I think it's going to be cool
And that was originally $65
and I came with like a sticker, yeah, I'm going to put that on my guitar
Hmmm, $17.40
I don't know how that happened.
So the next thing I have is this little
Sweater. Ummm
In a size medium
This is just a large knit sweater
And it's like a little bit cropped, It's a little short
And it has these two little
Slices on the bottom there.
So you can wear these with some high-waisted jeans I feel
And it will still show how high-wasited the jeans are, if
that makes sense, I like that.
and It has this nice neck which I think looks really cute
with my jacket buttoned all the way up
and then showing a little bit of the neck
Um, I decided to get this in a medium
It is kind of oversized
but I wanted something, like,
cozy and comfy on the top
and then you know, if I have to wear those high-waisted jeans
at least up top, I'm like
Loose
and I think the deals were for reals
So this was originally $54
and it was marked down to $32.
So, not like, the craziest deal on earth there
But, I like, really wanted a nice dark blue, like
Thick knit sweater, and I really really
do like that neck
It kind of just comes up, just
enough, and I love it.
I wore this with like a little broach
and I thought it was super cute.
and I just think this is a timeless piece.
and investment piece haha
So, the next thing I got that I'm stoked for is
is this tennis skirt.
So I got this in a size large, just because I feel like
these are short, and
Um, I wear skirts like
pretty regularly, not for special occasions, but for every single day
So I just didn't want this to be too short
But I still wanted it to fit high-waisted
and
this was
Originally $54, and it was marked down to
$32
Did I just say that? And, Um
I know I really like it
I don't have like, a cranberry kind of skirt in my collection
and I just think this is a really easy to pair, timeless piece
that I really love, and I've always wanted
and in a size large I think it just fits me the way I want
Was a total necessity
Total nostalgic of my entire life
and this is the American Apparel hoodie
With the white zipper and the white drawstrings
I can't tell you how many of these I have had in my life
They are iconic, they are perfect, I love them
And, I don't know, it's like when H&M started to copy them I was like,
"Nooooo, that's my thing"
Ummm, so I got this like
Its like a little messed up on the back, but whatever
So I got this like, really
pale, periwinkle one
I think it will be really cute
When I tried it on I paired it with the easy jean
I just really like the fit, I like the combo
together
I think, that this color
Is exactly what I am in the mood for right now
so I was stoked to pick the color
And I really like it, I like the way it fits
It's brand new, so all the fleece is nice
It has the nice pockets
and, I just
feel like I would beat myself up so much if
I wouldn't have grabbed one more
They are, they last forever
This one has to be, like, 6 years old
and It's still like true to color
Um, it's still true to fit
I mean, I've repaired the pocket
But, that's just because
Ummm, like
I like shove my hands in my pockets
and then I have this like, patch on the back
But, I love these hoodies. Ummm, they're
I think they're great, so I really wanted to get one that was like
more in trend with the colors I wear and whatever
The second to last thing I grabbed is this beanie
I love American Apparel beanies, I don't know
I could show you all the other ones I have too
Quite an American Apparel collection
throughout the years, just because I think their stuff
ages well, and it also mends well
like, if the pocket falls off, you can kind of fix it
Umm, I think it's just a little better than Forever 21.
Ummm, so I got this beanie, and I really really like it. I should have got more.
Umm, I haven't washed this yet. I kind of like hats better after they
have been washed and stretched out
Umm, so I haven't washed this yet, but
just because I was waiting for this haul
Ummm
These are originally $18 and I got mine for $12
But $12 is exactly what I would pay for a little salt and pepper beanie like this. I don't have any
Hat like this
which is great because sometimes
if I'm wearing all black, I can't wear my black hat
and I don't know. and then I just put a little pin on it because
thats how I roll
So the final thing I got from American Apparel is the "Easy Jean"
and, haha, I cry, Umm
I actually ran into a subscriber while I was at American Apparel
Hey girl!
and she was like "Hey Qcknd"
and I was like, "Oh my god, can you believe all this stuff is like affordable!"
and she was like "yeah, I'm here trying things on so I can go home and order things online"
and I was like "I've always wanted easy jean, do you recommend?" and she was like "Yes!"
But she said that they get kind of stretched out
So I got the easy jean which I think is like $80 normal
So it's $78 and I got the easy jean for $46
and I've always wanted a pair, its so high-wasited I LOOOOOOOOOVE IT
and it's not like
that hard denim, so I can like have
a little fupa action and it will be fine
So, I went
to get them hemmed
because they were really long
annnd, ummmm
she had mentioned that they stretch out around the knees and stuff
so I was like alright I don't want this stretched out knee
and I was like oh I'll just cut the bottom off
cause I like to add my own touch to stuff but I was like, "no"
no no
You've always wanted these pants
You're whole life
let's do this right." So I got them hemmed
and the guy was like "yeah, they'll be done Saturday"
so I went to pick them up today and he was like
"No, No, Next Saturday"
and I was like you didn't tell me it would take 2 weeks
I have video's to make!
so I was like, "Alright, forget it, see you in 2 weeks then"
He definitely didn't say 2 weeks, he said Saturday
So, I do not have the easy jeans to show you
and I feel bad because know that they are hemmed I was excited to show you them hemmed
But, I wanted to get this video out because if American Apparel
is going to be done by March
I wanted to show you some of the stuff I picked out, so you can hurry up and get it
if you liked it
Soooo
I'll post the picture of the easy jean on twitter or in a future look book
and I'll link that here once it's available, but I don't have the easy jean
I got it in a size small and it was
tight on me
buuuut
also really long on me
I don't understand why they were so long at the bottom, if you're good at hemming your own stuff, I would have recommended
I should have done it myself, I really should have
It would totally be done by now
Umm, but I just thought I would live a little
and I lived too much!
Let me know what any of these, uhh
What you're favorite pieces were for this
If you've ever had any of these growing up
Or currently
or how stoked you might be
or you hate American Apparel
So, here is my stuff from Free People
So, I've never really shopped at Free People, but I know Philadelphia
Is like, Free People's headquarters
I just feel like, some of their stuff is too expensive
I could find a lot of their stuff at the thrift store and then modify it
So I've never gone in there because I've had that fucking attitude
Um, and then for Christmas
One of the stylists at my salon
gave me a Free People gift card for like, umm
You like, tip out the assistants for Christmas and I didn't know that, it was cool
so she got me this Free People gift card and I was like .... what!
So I got some stuff from Free People!
and I'll show it to you
I really like what Igot
Ummm, I'll show you, this first
I didn't get any of this stuff on sale, but I did have that gift card, so that was helpful
So the first 2 things I got, I took 2 different trips because
the first time I went there I was scared because they have a weird front door
Umm, so that turned me off right away
why am I like this... so
I got these socks! I really like them
I am interested in socks, and i like socks that like
show a little bit above the shoe
So I got these for 10 dollars. 10 dollars for socks whatever
but i do like this color
and i've never seen anything like this
and I just thought this would be like a cute... boot sock
annnd, blah blah blah
these
They're both in here? So these are little
sheer socks, and these are 12 dollars
Umm
I don't know if you can see that they're sheer
Like here they are pulled apart
And I just thought that these were soo rad
So I don't know if I'm a little late on these, like if these would have been better at a Christmas party or whatever,
but I love like
theres really no strong structure at the top
and I just think these would be cute. A lot of days I do
Tights, wearing tights, and
then pull socks over top of them
so I think this would be nice
and subtle and something I haven't really seen before
Like could I have gotten these off Amazon? Maybe, but
I thought these really really fun, and treat yourself
So, the next thing I got was this shirt
and this was in the like intimates section, like
pajamas, or like
chilling at your house
annd, umm
You know I'm not really seasoned to Free People but
I was like Oh I like that shirt. Oh, it's pajamas?
Yeah, I'll wear it as pajamas...
But.. here it is, um
I don't know if you can see it so I'll show myself wearing it
but
it's pretty cool! it has this detail on the front there
Where uh it kind of goes pretty low
and I thought that was cool and interesting, defiantly unique
its like kind of sheer
and a little longer, like its not cropped, and it has long
like really long sleeves, like
You'll have to pull those sleeves up
but I thought this was cool, I don't have anything like this
where it goes that low
and I'm trying to like
love my body over here, so I thought it would be cool
so this was 40 dollars, so at this point
the gift cards killed
but
I thought that was cool
My camera died, umm
so this
is a bra I guess
Umm
but its really cool
and in the back, it kind of just has that single
like "beefy" strap
and then these straps
it's a little hard to wear
Ummm, I'll say that
because you want to like, keeping pulling up this strap
this summer I'm going all in
and I bought this thing and I was like I'm gonna wear it
I don't care if I have these tiny little boobs
I'm wearing this!
I mean sometimes with some of my bralettes, I will wear kind of like
Umm, you know like the stick on whatever
Just because
it's cold out there
but I really love this, it's not lined
on the inside, it just has these little
seams for structure
But uhh this is my shit, right here
Umm, they had this in black too and this was
48 dollars I think, yeah, 48 so
a pricey purchase
over here in la la land, but I paid for it
and then the final thing I have from free people, not even
a huge haul girl
Umm, is, so I got
This underwear here
and this is like that
That seamless, like that invisible underwear that like
feels like maybe a bathing suit
Love this shit
OOO 16 dollars, but I
Bought this and it kinda has like
this cute
Little detail there
I got this because I got
The bra, and I thought it would be
Uhhh, some self care if I bought the matching set
and this bra
Fit me soooooo well
So flattering. I am an A cup
Ya know, nothing to work with upstairs
But I loved how I looked in this and that is fucking
priceless, so I paid
38 dollars for it
But I love love love it
and then it has this really cute
like "T" back
double "T" back
and I thought it was so cute and it's adjustable in all the aspects
but it fit me just how its adjusted
If this is your first time here, I have a full back tattoo soo
I just think this will look really
really cute, and I love bralettes.
I would do a bralette
Style... how to style bralette look book
because I said on twitter how I was looking for
some bathing suits that accommodate
ummm, small chest
and you guys seem really interested in it, so I do have a lot of bralettes and
with your encouragement, I will do that video.
But, here is the full haul minus the easy jeans. Sorry about that I tried my best
and uhh let me know what you guys think
I love doing these, thank you for the encouragement.
Umm, give this video a thumbs up if you want to see more
in this aspect. I love you guys and
any feeling you have about American Apparel
I hear you, but I have wanted
these pieces
my entire life and now that I am almost 27
I can almost afford them
I don't know, go to American Apparel and get those discounts girl
