as tourist: dressing up abit?

[pll]

Those are exactly the kind of shoes DH and I wear. I have one pair I bought 6 years ago and they are wearing out. I hope I can find replacements.

There are plenty of similar shoes. Look for Onitsuka Tiger (an Asics brand) or Gola in Amazon. For some reason, the men's models have more color options, so my Onitsuka are men's. I could not go with pastel colors... Same goes for Adidas: among their 'originals' series, sometimes to produce cute models for men (I've been wanting to get this Merckx/biking style sneaker... any New Yorkers that frequent the Brooklyn Machine works here?).

PS: And, if anybody is looking for a colorful running shoe, search for "Karhu". Who said running shoes have to be white, black or gray?

My favorite outfit is usually a skirt and t-shirt or a sundress. Sometimes capris. I usually wear Birkenstocks, but when we went to Hawaii, I lived in flipflops, or what they call slippers. I bought some pretty ones on Oahu, and I rarely wore anything other than my bathing suit and a lavalava (sarong). Dressing in Hawaii is so easy. So is dressing in San Diego.

I've never been to Europe, but the way you all talk about it, I think I'd have to buy a whole new wardrobe.

I'm Scottish so I'm not sure that really counts as European - but things are definitely more casual in the US. It seemed quite strange on our trip back earlier this summer to see so many people formally dressed, I've obviously adapted to US life quite well!

Well your stuff sans sarong, would be fine in Europe.

Those are super cool.
