The other posts were interesting as well. I found the post on Europeans being more stylish than Americans to be written in a rather annoying manner, and I do find the whole concept of they’re better than us a bit juvenile, but it just is what it is. American’s DO like to be comfortable, and we do like our jeans. But I have seen plenty of really well dressed women in L.A., not that the writer would be impressed I’m sure. You see what you want to see I think.

Much love and once again THANK YOU!!!

…and I must start contributing to links love… this is such a wonderful ‘glow-bal’ warming way to untite the womanhood….

Well, I don’t think Europeans dress better than Americans, I may be wrong, but I think the Americas are more fashionable.

I absolutely love this series, it has become my go-to-place for good reads, because I trust you, and I trust my blogging community. That feels so wonderful, makes me feel connected to you all even though I am all the way over here in Oslo.

Thank you for everyone submitting such great posts, some of which I hadn`t read (like the one on Europeans and Americans style. I have only been to Toronto on your side of the ocean, and I found that there were fewer fashionable ladies there than I had expected, to be honest, but the ones who really were fashionable were individual and so well dressed. That said, Norway is now getting to be a more stylish nation (in which I am permanently overdressed, which comes from growing up in Paris where people generally do dress up everyday), but I remember an article in a major paper here ten years ago where men who lived in Norway but weren`t Norwegian complained that Norwegian women only wore practical jackets, boots and no make up. There was some truth to that, but it is now changing, at least in my slice of the high north.

I hope you and everyone is having a great week! Love, Anika

I wholeheartedly agreed with Bangs & Bun’s post. Here’s what I commented there:

I think this post is amazing and I completely agree with you! I’m a born-and-bred American from the Midwest, which is known as the most conservative and unstylish area of the country… and I was given strange looks if I wore a skirt. Um, sorry that I want to look good!? I moved to Los Angeles, and it’s much better here, but still…

I don’t understand why people are taking offense to this, honestly. Just because you’re not fashionable doesn’t mean you’re not smart or pretty or have other things to offer. This is a statement about fashion, not one’s character.

And for people that are complaining that they don’t have the money to dress well — unless you are homeless and living on the street and only have one outfit, there are plenty of secondhand and vintage shops where you can get amazing-looking clothes for cheap. Or borrow something from somebody! We all have friends… right?
