Even though I came with enough clothes that I needed, I still can’t help shopping. I wish I would have listened to those that told me to pack very lightly and just buy everything here. My problem was that I was almost over packed and still shop for more. I plan to send a box back over home because everything is definitely looking like it’s either not going to fit or exceed the weight limit. So, a huge tip to anyone studying abroad: Pack lightly! Your suitcase should ve practically empty because you WILL buy more clothes when you get there.
However, I don’t regret my shopping choice because I had to take advantage of these deals and the great fashion they have here. My favorite stores are Primark, Lefties, and Mango; my new obsessions are equivalent to H&M, Forever 21, and TJ Maxx but better! They have better clothes for cheaper prices. I do take into account the conversion of euros to US dollars, however it still comes out at a more reasonable price. Back at home I am more of an online shopper, because I tend to find better deals and everything I want, but being away I have become more of an actual shopper again. People dress very modern and casual, but trendy and chic at the same time. During warmer days, you’ll find casual outfits with pops of color and comfortability. Winters consist of boots, short or tall, bomber jackets, ankle length trench coats, and scarves. I think a staple trend here for girls are wide pants. Everyone, in fact, has a pair and they make it look so good too! I had to buy a few myself! Another big piece is the leather jacket. Everyday, I see someone rocking a brown, black, long, or short leather jacket. They are definitely in style here and make any outfit you wear POP.
