I’ve been in Vienna almost a week and I am falling in love with it. Coming from Los Angeles, a city of concrete and semi-desert, I drink in the beauty of this city. Austria was ruled by an Imperial family for over six centuries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Habsburg and the demand for greatness is still very apparent in the Austrian capitol.
So while Vienna is a beautiful city, the citizens seem to have made a decision to disrupt the view with their awful choice in clothing. I cannot leave my apartment without seeing some sort of eyesore. Hair so bleached blonde it is going to fall out, but held miraculously together by a scrunchie (used by a woman of 40 years of age). Animal print pants paired together with a flower patterned shirt topped off with a polka-dotted purse (I am NOT making this up). Poison green shoes. Purple jeans. Blinding red jacket, red pants, red shoes and red purse all worn by one woman. Plumbers crack from every behind that bends over in jeans, bras hanging out, panty lines.
My eyes water in pain. Fashion consultant just might be a lucrative career choice. These people deserve to have some sense smacked into them, or at the very least be forced to have a mirror in their homes.
If there are any plans to travel to Austria have no fear. You won’t be spending your precious dollar on clothing. Leave it for Paris and Italy.
Girl, you act like you have never been to a Wal-mart! Also, I don’t know how much you keep up with fashion, but it starts here and moves to the US… it takes about 6 months to make it to the east and west coasts and then dies somewhere in the midwest 2 years later.
