Cute Outfit for $50

American Apparel saved my life this weekend. I was running late for dinner reservations with some friends on Friday night and my boyfriend was rushing me out the door. The corseted sundress I threw on felt a little snug, but I didn't have time to think of a new outfit. I figured I could deal with it until I was on the subway en route to the restaurant. That's when I realized I could barely sit, let alone eat in this dress. Panicking, and extremely uncomfortable, I knew I had to find something else to wear asap. That's when I saw American Apparel. I ran in, picked up this adorable tulip skirt in grey and one of their unisex v-neck tees and was in and out with a new outfit for $50 in less than 10 minutes. That's a good deal no matter what the circumstance! And it looked so cute that no one, save myself and my boyfriend, had any clue it wasn't the outfit I had planned to wear all along.
