Well, one thing I’ve learned about Europe is that they are not on the same wavelength as America. That’s right. Turns out we’re NOT the center of the universe…weird.
It’s the fashion that is most easily notable. The first day, every which way that I looked I saw hats that were much longer than they needed to be, and jackets that were about two and a half times too poofy.
IT'S SO FLUFFY!!! (I mean extended. If you get that reference you rock)
Naturally, I have the strong desire to blend in. Who wants to overtly appear American? Not me (our rep isn’t so great over here). So, within the first two weeks I made sure to purchase a long hat (“una capella lunga” as I like to call them) and my next mission is to hunt down a puffy jacket (or giacca vento). If you join me in this mission, perhaps you can beat the fashion curve across the pond.
Tutto bene! I immediately looked for a “I like this” button, but then realized I’m not on Facebook…
That look is “despicable” on you.
I hope you’re having a great time Europe. As it turns out, I think Berlin is going to happen after all.
Love the new look! It’s so fun to hear about your journey overseas.
