Shopping

I think we're really stuck in the 80s. I took this picture at V&D, a Macy's-like department store at a mall in Amstelveen, a town just outside of Amsterdam. The brands we loved in the US back in the 80s are all the rage here and so is the fashion! Take for example, Esprit - it's a major brand here and if you look closely, you'll see this mannequin is wearing leg warmers over a pair of jeans with short black boots. Other great labels include Benetton, Tommy Hilfilger, and Ralph Lauren and not at the Marshalls prices you'll find back at home. Oh no, these are with the full retail price in Euros. I just keep asking myself WHY??
