One thing that is really all over the place here in Moscow is fashion. There is a huge range of what people wear and when. Scott mentioned to me once that he thinks a lot of women make their own clothes since brand names are so expensive...but then there seem to be a lot of women who exclusively wear the really high-end brands (e.g. Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Guess, MaxMara, Alberta Ferretti, Christian Dior, etc etc) so they're walking around in uber stylized couture outfits. And we all know how hard it is to pull off Couture. I just can't make heads or tails of any of it.
Along the lines of making heads or tails, here is a getup that I saw in Starbucks recently. I believe this was a pair of hand-doctored-sweatpants. I mean really people, it's still quite cold here, so you can't just walk around in a basic sweatpants. You need an extra quilted layer of colorful fabric sewn onto each leg! Come on. And please do not miss the coordinating royal blue scarf and turquoise Chuck Taylors. This took some work.
By the way, this young woman had on a full face of makeup, so we can't assume that she rolled out of bed in this outfit and was just 'quickly picking up her morning cup o' joe.' Also, it was 2 in the afternoon.
I hope I don't sound too snarky here. It was just such a strange combination of fabrics and colors...
