I have to admit it — I freaking miss Europe already. The thing I miss most about it?
How everyone looks absolutely stunning and effortlessly stylish all the damn time.
It seems like they just roll out of bed looking and dressed like Burberry models or something. I guess I really love ACTUAL winter weather and clothing (cough I just went to the pool today and it’s 70F right now in SoCal =_= cough) and how the styles are so sharp and clean and sophisticated. Even old ladies and middle aged business men look oddly impeccable in their long double breasted wool coats and thick plaid scarves — also I LOVE how everyone actually WEARS scarves. Real scarves, not some flimsy little floral printed thing blowing in the wind.
I came back here to be enormously disappointed by the sheer carelessness of the way most Californians dress and how you can tell there was absolutely no effort put in there at all. I know we’re known for a laid back, casual lifestyle but COME ON, you really couldn’t have changed out of that torn, stained random college t-shirt you’ve been wearing for the last five days? -shudders-
I understand the fact that we do not have any type of remotely real winter weather here but that doesn’t mean we have to look like haggard old grannies who live under rocks all the time, right?
All that being said, I looked absolutely ridiculous today prancing around campus with my Zara black coat when it was literally beach day weather outside.
What can I say? I terribly miss Europe and just trying to make myself feel a tad bit better.
Too lazy to take an OOTD shot so here’s the coat I was wearing today;
*sigh* Anyways on this website it says the retail price is $189?? HOLY COW. http://www.lyst.com/clothing/zara-coat-with-gathered-shoulder-and-metallic-button-black-1/
I bought it from a nondescript possibly very shady website for $30 USD LOL WHAT IS LIFE.
SCORE!
