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 write down an extended recap in a pair days — together with the place we stayed and ate — however within the meantime, only for enjoyable, I needed to share a number of issues we noticed individuals sporting. Right here goes…

1. Not breaking information, however I seen once more what number of French ladies put on their hair windswept and bedhead-y, versus completely polished. Some humorous proof? After I stopped brushing my hair midway by means of our journey, extra shopkeepers spoke to me in French and a minimum of three older French women approached me for instructions. (Finest three moments of my life lol.)

2. Jannelle lately wrote about fanny packs, and holy smokes, the sac banane is A Factor in Paris. Most appeared to be from the model Rivedroite, and the XL in army inexperienced slung over the chest regarded particularly cool.

3. Talking of inexperienced, the colour was in all places: blazers, shirts, sweaters, you identify it. I like how inexperienced reads as a impartial however feels just a little extra enjoyable than black, navy or cream, don’t you?

4. As at all times, many individuals had been sporting sneakers, together with Veja, Adidas, Nike and Reebok, however New Steadiness was the model we seen most. (I additionally just like the low profile of this ivory pair.)

5. Pearl rings. Throughout the week, we frolicked so much with my pal’s pal 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 purple.

7. Chunky scarves on everybody, in all places, at all times and endlessly. They’re such a simple method to make a cold-weather outfit look particular. Shaggy dog story: On my means residence, earlier than safety, the airport performed a particular video reminding individuals to take away their scarves — it confirmed an animated line drawing of a French man sporting a shawl after which the headband floated off him. That’s how you can do it!

Ideas? Would you put on any, or do you already? Should you dwell in Paris, do these ring true?

P.S. Girls share their magnificence uniforms, and the weirdest greatest a part of journeys.
