After going to the gym and completing my German lesson, I decided to head down to Marienplatz and enjoy the warm weather (23° Celsius). After checking out the garden supply store (thinking of planting an herb garden this spring and looked for a grill stand) and visiting the Viktualienmarkt (our open food market, a foodies dream) I headed to Ludwig Beck to get some home supplies. They were out of what I was originally looking for, but then found myself in their Dirndl section. Ludwig Beck is a high-end department store in Munich and is most similar to Neiman Marcus (without a shoe section). They had some beautiful dresses and really cool accessories such as pins, charms and hats, which got me more excited about getting one. After going through the first rack, I found one that I absolutely love! But it is official that my high-end taste in clothing also translates into dirndl’s as the dress itself (you then have to purchase the shirt, under skirt, and accessories) costs 700 euros. Pretty much my entire “Halloween costume” would end up costing over 1000 euros and I think that is crazy. Maybe I can find a less expensive dress and get the super cute hat, pins and charms. I did go to a few other stores, but they only had the long ones and started to get nervous. However, at the final store I talked to the shop owner and she said they will get the short ones in after Easter…so I will wait until then. Looks like I have more drinhl shopping in my future!
Tschüss! Die Liebe der Gauntletts
