Living in England
I just want to go out to "Boots" which is sort of like the Walgreens of England. But going out means I have to get dressed, and not like dressed in the U.S. where going out in pjs is ok, but half way decent. You can tell I'm american right away because I don't wear high heels and fashionable clothes every day. I wear comfortable clothes that can pass of as fashionable with my gym shoes. I am not walking for 20 minutes in high heeled shoes just to look fashionable, yet this is the way of the British. Some days I like getting dressed up but it's impossible, how do British women do this every day?! Here in the land of always having "your face on and your clothes of best fashion (or so they think the French have way better taste)"
It was worse when I lived in London when even if I did dress up it still looked like I was dressed down. It didn't help that I lived in a home with three fashion design students and a interior design student who wore dresses every day. And if I truly wanted to be comfy like I am in the U.S., I would be labeled lower class. yuck!
Whenever I wear anything that has a hood on it, it's inappropriate because only the chavs and pikeys wear that, but I still wear them. Even the dogs are trained to hate the people who wear hodded sweatshirts. One time I had a dog who chased/wanted to kill me because I was wearing a hood, all I had to do was take the hood off and it turned into the most loveable dog on earth.
Today I am going to Boots in my comforatble chino pants and a stripped shirt, and my gym shoes, it looks like I am going for a workout here, but I really don't feel like having to put my best face forward, my normal face will do, heh heh.
