Back home I was a student and worked retail. My entire wardrobe consisted of khakis, work shirts, jeans, t-shirts, and hoodies. I'm also very thin and had trouble finding fitting clothing back home.
Once I got here and actually found clothing that fit and I could afford it... I have a lot nicer clothing. Slowly, over the year, I've been increasing my wardrobe and dressing up more and more at school. I can tell the students and staff appreciate it.
I still can't do the skirts up the... yeah, but I dig the lace and frills and whatnot a lot. And I have lots of color (compared to home where it was neutrals); pink, purple, blue, yellow, green... The only problem I have is the cut on the tops. I'm used to bare shoulders and backs with summer clothing, but I still buy them and just use a flimsy, sheer cover up top over my shoulders.
