How to Dress like a London Girl

Spotting Americans in London is easier than finding Waldo in Roman times.  Usually you don't even need to see them, you can hear them a mile away.  I honestly wasn't aware of how loud I talk until I moved here.  Nick is always telling me to take it down a few notches.

So If you can keep your voice down and you still feel like you're easily spotted... there are only two things you really need to consider.

1. Do I have on nice shoes?
2. Am I wearing a scarf?

If the answer to both is 'yes' then you are not easily spotted.  Congratulations!

If the answer to 1 is 'yes' and the answer to 2 is 'no' then you may be blending in as long as the rest of your outfit is as nice as your shoes.  Good job.

If the answer to 1 is 'no' and 2 is 'yes' and you are wearing crappy gym shoes - you stick out like a sore thumb!

If the answer to both 1 and 2 is 'no' - your Americaness is almost offensive.  British people won't offer you tea because you'll probably throw it into the harbor or do something equally ridiculous with it - you Yankee, you.

Armed with this advice all you American ladies can fit right in.  If you don't have a nice scarf don't worry!  They sell them on streets everywhere.  They're a dime a dozen (or 2 for 5 pounds) and come in a rainbow of colors so get a variety and you'll be sure to look put together with any outfit you wear!
