Serious Fashion

Wow. Syrian girls (or at least the ones I live with) are really into fashion. I just finished watching one of my roommates get dressed to go out to dinner with her boyfriend and his friends. Hair extensions, high, high black heels, tight jeans and all manner of other accoutrement! By the time she walked out the door she looked amazing. I think in comparison American girls dress more simply. Like tonight, I ran out the door to church and did my best at looking like a Syrian girl: High-heeled black boots, tight jeans, big, flashy earrings...but I am still all too easily spotted as a foreigner...
