I have finally started shopping again. But I promise, I haven't bought anything (then I'd have to worry about how I would bring it back...the suitcase was overfilled when I came!). I brought my whole summer wardrobe here with me, and all the clothes in the stores are super summery, so I haven't quite felt the need to splurge. But it's always fun to look! The malls are decorated in their Christmas splendor, music and all, which seems strange to me to walk in from the 75 degree warmth, into the Christmas-clad mall. It just doesn't feel right.
As I was browsing through the stores, I got a kick out of a sweatshirt I came across:
Yes, that says Des Moines, as in IOWA! I was shocked when I saw it and had to take a picture. It reminds me of all the California beach inspired tees at Hollister, Abercrombie, and American Eagle. And here I am, halfway around the world, and their fashion doesn't bear the names of famous or huge United States cities like NYC or LA or of exotic California beaches, but of good ol' Des Moines, Iowa. Who knew?!
