Ok, so I have figured out that Germany is where fashion comes to die! I am sorry, but seriously, one cannot be expected to be fashionable in this town given the selection of stores available. It looks like a polyester bomb went off and landed on the racks of every clothing store here. Not to mention, all the suits and “professional” clothes remind of things I see in bad 80’s videos. I won’t even start on the shoes, except to say that there was a Nine West here at one point and it did not last long. I imagine it’s because the shoes were scared and walked out of Germany and went to Paris.
Given this fashion quandary, I have resorted to ordering online with JCrew and the Gap. I found a company that has a mailbox system where they give me a U.S. address and I can order things in the states to have them sent there. Then they send me my things to Germany. It’s a bit more expensive, but given that the Euro is stronger than the dollar (like a 45% off sale) I think overall I spend the same amount as I would if I were able to find decent clothes here.
The other thing I miss from my girlie schedule are my magazines - The Bible (a.k.a. InStyle), Real Simple, Glamour and People. Seriously these should be here too!
Please, if someone can, send a JCrew, Gap, Ann Taylor Loft, Nine West, DSW, and Pottery Barn asap!

Sounds like my kind of place! Probably a lot like my closet.
