Took the dog for a walk…she didn’t feel like walking all that much.
So my mom runs a second hand shop for a non-profit organization in LA and today she had a big sale so I helped by cashiering. It was crazy. So many people going crazy over things like plates and scarves. Pushing each other over a book shelf. After cashiering for 3 hours straight I was allowed to do a little shopping myself and man did I get some good shit. I have to post some pictures soon. Right now I am being lazy though and lounging around in sweats and that shit is not hot. Def not blog worthy.
Bought an amazing fall jacket for like 9 bucks! It is beautiful. I really need a good spring/fall coat that is perfect for like 40 F days or rainy days. I have the winter coats covered but not the fall or the spring. Too many seasons in Sweden. Here in LA there is only Spring and Summer. Sometimes rain….Does that count as spring? The only things that are seasonal are the occasional summer shorts or sweater.
In Sweden there are all sorts of problems with all sorts of weather. Also I am not the typical stick-thin Swede body type. I am an American and therefore love fatty foods and hate working out. So certain clothes that I buy in Sweden run small whereas the clothes in America run big. In Sweden I am a large, in America I am a definite Medium…On a great day, a Small. So you can see that there can be some problems in finding some nice shit when everyone is an extra small and you are the first large to enter a certain store that month. Those healthy, fit bitches. God I need to join a gym when I get back so I can fit in. Jantelagen yo.
Also bought a cute sweater and some boots today. Not sure they are rain-worthy but we shall see come this fall in Sweden. The only problem is if I keep buying clothes the moment I go back I have to sort and get rid of a bunch.
I need to get Chelsea boots while here. They are hella stylish in Sweden(and Swedes have super tiny dainty feet and I have big American feet) so I have to see if Nordstrom’s Rack or some outlet store has them while I am here. I need to get my back to school shopping on!!!
Very exciting to be getting back in the school loop. Also so sad it is coming up so soon because that means I only have a good 3 1/2 weeks left here in Cali! Don’t take me away!!!
