Fashion Notes

I check out how people dress when I travel to see if I can get a sense of what is fasionable here.

I haven't figured anything out.

In New York it seems like there is more of an Anything goes kinda fashion sense. This constrasts with a small town like Karlstad where a 'Von Dutch' baseball cap is popular and represents something to the wearer and their peers. I wonder if this is because a 'Von Dutch' cap in New York is sold for about 5 bucks (all over the place in china town) and therefore does not represent the same thing here - sold for a higher price - therefore you might be able to ascribe a different meaning to it.

In Sweden, everyone wears scarves and women whear these triangular wool ponchos.

As for me, I'm lucky if I get to wear clean clothes. Actually I do wear clean clothes almost everyday, but I don't get the same selection. Yesterday I wore black socks in running shoes!
