We've all been there: It's time for a theme party, and you don't have anything to wear, so you end up dropping a slightly ridiculous amount of cash at American Apparel on an eighties costume (bright green neon leggings, a silver metallic leotard, and some obnoxiously pink leg warmers), which, by the way, you'll end up wearing maybe once. But then again, there are also those staple pieces from the L.A.-based company you know you can’t live without. Really, who doesn’t need a long-sleeve body suit for layering?
Regardless of your particular set of needs though, for the next week you can save big and collect pieces to utilize for both style opportunities at the American Apparel Warehouse Sale at Soho Studios at the Wynwood Convention Center. Thousands of pieces are being sold at up to 90 percent off regular prices — meaning you can finally get those leg warmers at a justifiable cost. Admission is free, and all forms of payment are accepted. Best of all, the event is nine days long, so you have plenty of time to free up your schedule — and your closet. Just think of all the crazy costumes you can create for less than $50. Superhero party, anyone?
When: Now through Saturday, December 10, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Where: Soho Studios at the Wynwood Convention Center, 2136 NW 1st Avenue; 305-600-4785.
