American Apparel

So I decided to be a little different and buy some clothes from American Apparel. I usually don't buy anything from them unless I go to an outlet or just to buy nail polish because they are so expensive. I went online looking for a bathing suit and came up with:

I thought it was extra adorable. I looked up the reviews to see what others thought and I was sold. I put that in my cart and looked at more items. I thought it would be cute to have this look for Miami. I told myself that I needed to be someone different than who I am usually. Be dangerous. Be a vixen. I just thought I could let all my inhibitions out of the bag for my birthday weekend. I even bought:

This little number here is dope as all get out. The lace at the top of the dress sold it and I the fact that I was challenged by Carly about wearing pasties with this dress sold it as well. I put some more stuff in my cart and proceeded to checkout. My bill was over $150 and would reach me the next week.

So yesterday, I get a package at work and didn't open it until I got home. I thought it was one of the items I bought that had to ship separately but it was the bathing suit and the chiffon dress. I was overly excited to try each piece on. I try the clothes on and stand on the tub to see how I look in the mirror. In the bathing suit, WTF was I thinking? Lord knows I am not as skinny as I seem. I looked a hot ass mess in that bathing suit. I didn't even know what the back looked like because when I ordered everything I was looking strictly at the front view not the alternative sides. In the chiffon dress, I couldn't even zip that bitch up plus my boobs were crushed. Needless to say, I will be going to stores more often looking for clothes that fit. I was sad but I got saddened when I looked at the return policy. I can only return the chiffon dress. Instead of returning it I will be exchanging it for the next size up. I guess I am gonna have to take an L on the bathing suit an lose some weight in these few weeks.
