Observations of Fashion in Singapore
- I wore a linen-shelled, cotton-lined dress yesterday from Gap. It is very cute but a tad heavy. FM says that I looked like a Japanese tourist because apparently they wear all white.
- I did wear all black one day and did not overheat. However, all white was perfect for yesterday because I practically melted. Bleck.
- I thought that when I got here, I would just be coated in sweat 24/7. Thank goodness for air conditioning and deodorant; however, I don't sweat that easily, and thankfully that remains true here.
- Some people dress in a very Japanese style here, but I noticed that very few people wear prints. People just throw a bunch of solid colors together. No one wears high heels during the day, but everyone has those weak-sauce 1-2 inch heels.
- There is no flamboyant usage of colors here. Everything is played very safely. I haven't really seen one trendy person since I've arrived. However, I am keeping my eyes open.
It hasn't rained much, but I know that it will. I thought that this would bug me majorly, but it hasn't really sunk in I don't think.
Chewing gum is prohibited here (without the permission of a dentist). However, I don't miss it at all. I don't really notice that Singapore is, as some people say, sterile (in cleanliness). I just think that it is cleaner than NYC. I mean, this is saying something because, according to Wikipedia Article "List of urgban areas by population," Singapore has 4.2 million people like Atlanta. Unlike Atlanta, Singapore has 479 sq. km of land, and Atlanta has 5, 083 sq. km of land. There are a lot of tall buildings. Actually, when I get a drive to insert my memory card, I will be able to publish some of the pictures I took of the city so far. Ho hum.
Ok I'm off to breakfast! ttfn
