I went shopping today. I lost my cardigan and needed another one. I wanted to postpone finding out how great the mall was until later in the trip, but now I know. I live down the street from the biggest mall in Ireland. How can you tell me that's not fate? Impossible to argue. I bought a cardigan and a dress. It felt damn good. I think it felt so good because I bought a dress. Not that I don't have plenty at home. But they're at home. This one I can wear long sleeves under and tights, and feel like me. I don't really feel like me in the clothes I have here. I feel frumpy and odd. Not cute at all. I don't really enjoy that feeling oddly enough. I just don't know how to look cute in cool weather. I will learn though, because three weeks of feeling off and uncomfortable was enough for me. I can find some sales and buy some cute clothes dang it!And feel like me again. And I need a hair cut. Badly.

Karlene, i love reading people's blogs when they are studying abroad. i think it took me a little while to figure out how to dress cute in cold weather too, but the key word is layers. and cardigans. sounds like you're half way there!
