English Fashion Tips for the Traveling American...
The #1 necessary fashion item in a trendy English wardrobe is a cute umbrella. It's so true. Whenever the rain starts, all the trendy English girls pull out their adorable umbrellas and walk through the streets. So this morning on our day off in York, I went on a search for the cutest (and least expensive) umbrella I could find so I too could fit in. I managed to find one with stars on it and I used it all day while walking around downtown York (it was raining Juneau rain all day).
#2 necessary item to go along with your trendy English wardrobe is a boyfriend. Those girls that did have cute umbrellas also had boys carrying those umbrellas for them. it was actually quite funny to see these boys carrying around fruffy/frilly umbrellas!
#3 necessary item to wear in England is a huge, and I mean HUGE belt around your waist... it's all the rage. I bought one of those too... and I thought I looked pretty cute until one of my Whitworth friends laughed and asked what I was wearing! I replied in a sophisticated English accent, "You clearly don't know anything about English Fashion." We laughed about it for a while.
Also... (not a fashion tip), I think I'm adding to my long list of dreams, that I want to start up a little tea shop, complete with scones, baked goods, and proper English tea... it's such a wonderful thing-- afternoon tea that is. I love sitting down in the afternoon and having tea. Maybe I'll combine it with and art gallery! Sounds like a plan.
Miss you all!--- If you haven't noticed yet, I did post pictures farther down the page. I'll try and put some more up later. Cheers!
