Parisian Fashion
I love clothing – t-shirts, sweaters, cardigans, tunics, jeans, leggings, pencil skirts, almond-toed heels (used to love the pointy-toed ones but then my bunions got in the way – sorry if TMI), Tory Burch flats, riding boots, Melissa jellies…the list could go on and on. (Might be a future post…hmm).
I digress…OK, so before I traveled overseas I needed to research what the Parisians are wearing. I remember, when booking my honeymoon to Italy, our travel agent told us “NO WHITE SNEAKERS”. That was very good advice :). In my google travels, I came across some great posts that helped to mold my luggage contents. It seems that Parisians love scarves (hence the 7 that I packed, maybe a little overkill).
I noticed many (many, many) ladies wearing skirts or shorts with tights and then riding boots or some other kind of knee-high boots.
Trench coats were all over – on men and women – in solid colors and prints. So glad I bought mine before the trip!
As usual, I overpacked. I think I packed about 7 white and off white long sleeve shirts to wear under my 6 sweaters (for 5 days LOL). I like to have choices.
Black is a big “color” there as well…something I remember reading but apparently didn’t stick in my head as I packed browns and whites…next time!! (Oh, and one day I had to wear white sneakers. My feet were killing me from all of the walking we did. Thankfully, a Parisian friend of Anouk’s was wearing her white sneakers so we both looked like tourists haha).
