I'll never be the same...

Mongolia has irrevocably changed my fashion tastes. It’s not just me though--I’ve noticed this occurring in my foreign friends too.

Case in point: Three of us were shopping at a large indoor market in UB (Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia) the other day. The item that all three of us were eyeing was, sadly enough, a fake fur/knit vest. It had a zipper up the front, black and grey faux fur, a purple knit waist band, and a band of fur below that. It was spectacular! (We restrained ourselves though, after concluding that it wasn't worth the price the saleswoman was asking.)

Other items that are now “eye-catching” to us were high-heeled boots, boots with fur trim, clothes with sequins, and leather coats.
