European style is much different than NYC style. Small Ked type shoes, small heel newsboy boots, tight pants with big shirts? Not for me. And on the contrary I've seen some outta the park stylizing here in Norway. Nice color combos, interesting parings of leggings with scarves with jewelery and so on. But am I now immune to what I know? Will I some day wear big shirts with small pants and shoes? I think I will and I won't know it's happening.
I would like to tell the Americans something... H&M is expensive over here. The shopping in Norway is one way, expensive. Tops are 50 bones, dresses $60-$150. There is no top for $15 bux there. I laugh at that thought.
Q: If I wear H&M in Norway does that mean I don't make any money? A: No it doesn't Q: So does that mean that H&M is as nice as Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Betsey Johnson? A: No it doesn't. It means that if you want something that's under 100 bucks go to H&M and if you want something with a better fit, better design or more well made go to the 'SoHo like' boutiques that are EVREYWHERE and spend minumum $150 for a top. There's no Macy's, Century 21, Target, JCPenny (which has some good stuff since it's relaunch about a year ago). You have to find what you want at an expensive exclusive shop and that's pretty much it. Socialism is no joke.
Everyone makes the same amount and every store costs the same. Really. I've never known anything like it.
