friday is fancy


If you look over my notes from my trip to Paris, you’ll see that they’re just lists of what everyone was wearing. (That and lists of everything I ate.) They go a little something like this:

-red pants. yes.
-tights and shorts are cool apparently.
-cute sundresses with a belt. never underestimate a good belt!
-moccassin flats
-black tights, navy/polka dot skirt, chartreuse blazer
-tucking in a t-shirt makes a difference.
-black blazer, black tee, black capris, brown leather bag = it works!
-grey skinny jeans, blue button down, wedges, bag, bun. 

I could have sat there at Bar de la Croix Rouge jotting down people’s outfits for day’s on end drinking that minty Perrier drink everyone gets at aperitif time. So here’s a round up of what my notes tell me are essential Parisan girl style.

french girl basics

[10 Crosby blazer, Madewell perfect leather belt, Etoile Isabel Marant linen t-shirt, Romwe leopard flats, J Brand skinny jeans, Longchamp large handbag]



I'm so excited for a weekend with nothing to do - now I can sew the button on my coat that popped off, organize my kitchen cabinets and still have time to grab a martini with my fellow expat Erica on Saturday night!

What do you have planned, my dear friends?

  2. Well, I love this outfit, would totally wear it! And I love Longchamp's Le Pliage bags, they really are the best, especially when traveling, they are light, fold into a tiny square and are child-proof! (meaning they are nylon so they dry up pretty quickly!) ;)

  3. I think white v-neck t-shirts are one of the most versatile pieces ever. And I love that you took notes of what everyone was wearing!

  10. Um, jotting down notes about what the French girls are wearing sounds like one of the funnest things to do in Paris! Some day when I am in Paris again, I will tell the husband "let's go read in Luxembourg Gardens" and he'll pull out some book about peace or politics or science and I'll pull out a glossy with a notebook hidden inside. Yes! ;-)
