*Frumpy*

I don't mean to sound conceited or full of myself, but I think I have a pretty decent sense of fashion. I know what looks good on me and I wear what makes me comfortable. I like to keep abreast with what's "hot", but I don't usually buy "fad" clothing.
I have no problems with dressing myself when I'm in New York. I usually look fairly presentable there and manage to wear functionable clothes to enable me to get around the city (ok, maybe my shoes don't get me around so well). But Hong Kong is another matter. For some reason, I have a LOT of trouble dressing myself here. Whenever I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror here, I see Frump Girl. On closer inspection in the mirrors, I end up looking worse and worse. The hair never sits right (the humidity makes my hair frizz), and my clothes always seem to be wrong. I can wear the exact same ensemble in New York and manage to look alright, but something in Hong Kong makes me look like Frumpy - the long lost eighth dwarf.~
