"It&amp;#x27;s been a while, dolls--Happy New Year to all of you! While you were busy talking 2009 Dos and Don&amp;#x27;ts with Suze and scoring amazing outerwear bargains with Tiffany last week, I was getting a bit of sun on my face in Miami--and, of course, Don&amp;#x27;t spotting with my girlfriends! Whenever I&amp;#x27;m in a city that&amp;#x27;s not my own, I scope out what girls are wearing there like it&amp;#x27;s my job (and, okay, it kind of is)--I&amp;#x27;m like a sartorial anthropologist, getting the scoop on the lifestyle and weather and values and dating and mating rituals all by the length of a hemline. And let me tell you something, dolls--the hemlines in Miami have always been scandalously short. So my girlfriends and I (remember Alexa and Vanessa from last summer in the Hamptons?) figured &amp;quot;When in Rome!&amp;quot; and busted out our own miniskirts and dresses to ring in the New Year. Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! In fact, the more time we spent in Miami, the more I felt like a total square if I wore anything that fell too close to my knees. I know the rules for appropriate hemlines backwards in forwards (in fact, I&amp;#x27;ve written a few of &amp;#x27;em myself), but the minute I felt the warm air and saw so many gorgeous girls strutting down Collins in dresses that would never pass Mrs. Cernek&amp;#x27;s fingertip test, I didn&amp;#x27;t give a damn about the rules! Our miniskirt parade continued all week long: Vanessa has a very Carrie Bradshaw moment in her tutu skirt... I try my hand at pattern mixing... And Alexa proves florals don&amp;#x27;t have to be prim and proper! By the time I made it back to my freezing little Manhattan apartment yesterday, I was happy to be bundled up in leggings and boots and skipped shaving my legs because nobody was going to see them, anyway...but in South Beach, where heat and humidity necessitate as little clothing as possible, my legs had been on as much of a vacation as I had. What do people dress like where you&amp;#x27;re from? Does the weather dictate a much more bundled-up aesthetic than Miami? Does the proximity to a big city mean people wear suits practically everywhere? Or do you live in a college town where sweatpants and Uggs are de rigeur? What does your wardrobe say about where you live? Share! And Happy New Year dolls, it&amp;#x27;s great to be back!
