I saw this young girl of about 10 or 12 years old a few weeks ago in my local McDonald's restaurant. I couldn't help admiring her stylish good looks and tried to recapture it here. I remembered she was wearing a checkered patterned hat, a black jacket and stylish checkered patterned boots. The prettiest thing was the ruffled scarf she wore around her neck to complete the outfit. She sat with a couple of older ladies, maybe one of them was her grandmother. I wondered if they were European as the little girl had that sense of style. Wish I could have taken her photo for you! She seemed to be nursing a black eye, dabbing it with a tissue, hope they didn't notice I was staring. They probably did, as I tend to stare at things that interest me.

Yup, I agree with you. Americans tend not be as stylish as Europeans.
