Quick thoughts of London

We arrived in London early this morning (Wednesday).
Being in our home in Key West was fabulous, as always...there are a few stories there, but I'd rather wait for those to upload pictures to go with them.

We are now in London for a few reasons....first is so that my husband can meet his new boss who is based here, and second, to do some winter clothes shopping.
We were able to accomplish that but the styles are definitely different here.

In Rio, clothes are in color. There are swirls and paisleys, stripes and polka dots...
hues of pink, red, and blue...
tangerine orange, seafoam green, sunny yellow...
ok, do a 180 degree turn and welcome to London.
Everyone (almost) is dressed in various shades of black and gray. There are black pants with black shoes and black shirts with black jackets on top.
They have black trousers on with black sweaters...
of course there are a few girls with purple, hot pink or green hair...but they still wear black.

We sat at a cafe this morning until our room in our hotel was ready. I could not believe the sight of so much black with a touch of gray.
Then there was me...
all in browns :)
and enjoying every minute of it!

it's so interesting how different we are in fashion from country to country! I have definitely embraced the brighter side of things...and patterned for that matter since coming to Brazil!! Enjoy London! Excited to hear about your look see!

It would look the same in Finland! :)
Black is easy.
I wear black always with bright turquoise, orange, pink...
But I try to avoid total black especially in the winter time when we need joy and color in our lives!

Well, if you have lived in São Paulo, you wouldn't see too much difference. Right now, I am wearing black with a touch of gray : )

I hope you have a blessed time in your look and see trip.
