Postscript: How to… dress like a Parisian

After my “how to… dress like a Parisian”, I thought I would write a little postscript of my observations from being there.
Trends of note:


♥ Trench coats. Everyone, everywhere was wearing them. Thrown on in a devil-may-care manner. Très chic!

♥ Heeled ankle boots. Mainly little cowboy-style ones with a bigger than normal heel usually teamed with tights or skinny jeans.


Awaiting photo!


♥ Navy and white striped tees. Traditionally French. And definitely still in vogue in the country of their creation.

♥ Silk scarves. Thrown on and casually tied. Add a little splash of colour.

I ♥love♥ all four of these looks.


Not quite hitting the spot – for me – were:


♥ White (skinny) jeans. There were a lot of French femmes sporting these. Not a good look. And so impractical.
