My mother and I are again from Paris, and the journey was the shot within the arm we each wanted. (Thanks for all of your recs!) I’m excited to jot down an extended recap in a pair days — together with the place we stayed and ate — however within the meantime, only for enjoyable, I wished to share a couple of issues we noticed folks carrying. Right here goes…
1. Not breaking information, however I observed once more what number of French ladies put on their hair windswept and bedhead-y, versus completely polished. Some humorous proof? Once I stopped brushing my hair midway by means of our journey, extra shopkeepers spoke to me in French and at least three older French girls approached me for instructions. (Greatest three moments of my life lol.)
2. Jannelle just lately wrote about fanny packs, and holy smokes, the sac banane is A Factor in Paris. Most gave the impression to be from the model Rivedroite, and the XL in army inexperienced slung over the chest seemed particularly cool.
3. Talking of inexperienced, the colour was in every single place: blazers, shirts, sweaters, you identify it. I like how inexperienced reads as a impartial however feels a little bit extra enjoyable than black, navy or cream, don’t you?
4. As at all times, many individuals had been carrying sneakers, together with Veja, Adidas, Nike and Reebok, however New Stability was the model we observed most. (I additionally just like the low profile of this ivory pair.)
5. Pearl rings. In the course of the week, we frolicked loads with my buddy’s buddy Cassi, who lives in Paris and wears a pearl gumball ring. I’m unsure if this can be a city-wide development, however I’m pointing it out regardless as a result of it was so beautiful!
6. Many ladies wore belted jackets and coats (even puffers). Not simply basic beige trenches — though we did see these — however many different colours, like inexperienced (plus), black and crimson.
7. Chunky scarves on everybody, in every single place, at all times and perpetually. They’re such a straightforward method to make a cold-weather outfit look particular. Shaggy dog story: On my approach residence, earlier than safety, the airport performed a particular video reminding folks to take away their scarves — it confirmed an animated line drawing of a French man carrying a shawl after which the headscarf floated off him. That’s easy methods to do it!
Ideas? Would you put on any, or do you already? For those who reside in Paris, do these ring true?
P.S. Girls share their magnificence uniforms, and the weirdest greatest a part of journeys.
