I get really sad that I don't get to dress up anymore. When I was living in Japan, there were reasons to get up each day and really think about looking nice. It was fun for me to do all that stuff, but here... there's no point. Everybody here wears the same boring clothes, and there are no truly nice places to "be seen." I'm sure if I lived in a big city I could have that experience, but not in Duluth. Everybody's idea of a fashion statement here is a beard and boots.
