I basically needed to get rid of all of my ‘Chicago’ (dressy) clothes to make space in my closet for the casual and outdoorsy clothes here! It’s definitely way more casual. And I agree that Seattle is nowhere near as cosmopolitan as Chicago, but I think the abundance of outdoors activities more than makes up for it – especially in the summer! I wish I had lived here without kids for a bit so I could really have explored! I hope you’re enjoying it here so far! We continue to love it.

I miss Chicago’s cosmopolitain essence. Seattle just doesn’t seem like a “big city” to me. But it has the outdoors beat. You can drive an hour and hike with gorgeous views and a great workout. I’m still learning about the difference between people, but the folks in Chicago tend to dress nicer than the folks in Seattle.

And I agree, it’s much more necessary to go to a gym in the Midwest – in Seattle I can workout outside every day of the year (even though I might get a bit wet).
