I'm not great at a lot of things.
We'll go ahead and put water-skiing at the top of that list.
Amidst the pot-purri of things I do poorly,
there is one redeeming factor:
I am really good at picking up style & trends in new places.
For example:
Move to England- Buy opaque tights + flats, pair with above knee dress.
Go to Dallas- Curl hair in loose ringlets + add wedged platforms.
Head to Italy- Pair white stretchy shirt + low rise jeans & neon yellow thong.
I'm kidding about Italy.
Well, I'm half kidding.
So in Paris what do I do?
Get a beret and a bicycle?
Non, mon cheri.
The look here is so much lovelier than that.
This year, as we all know, it is ALL about colored jeans.
If you don't have any yet, you're already behind.
Go. Now. Buy some.
Zara has every color of the rainbow available for great prices.
Get a bright pair to make your summer tan stand out.
Get a soft blush color for happy hour on the patio with the girls.
Get a cropped pair of a basic color for everyday fun.
The main thing is:
just buy some.
In the meantime,
you can find me walking the streets of Paris
camouflaged like a local in one of my new pair(s).

You've persuaded me! I'll be purchasing a lovely pair of Zara jeans this week!
ReplyDeletePink jeans make everything better! Good finds. xO
ReplyDeleteLove this look! And pink jeans may need to be in my closet soon!
ReplyDeletenoteddd and i WILL get my hands on some pink, mint and lilac jeans ASAP! xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteI love this post, it is incredibly spot on. A little bit of Paris while in Boston!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me very happy. My pink jeans just arrived yesterday. I am so Parisian!
ReplyDeleteGah! Can you please write a book about style? Style and how to live your life. Thanks. That would be great. Now I want to buy a stretchy white tee with low rise jeans, wedges, curl my hair, and wear everything in that above photo.
ReplyDeleteYou're killing me. Seriously. As I sit in big d, hair in ringlets and wedge shoes. Except now I'm bee-lining to the galleria for colored jeans!
ReplyDeleteI loveeee the light pink jeans. I don't know if I could pull them off though. And that TB clutch/bag has been on my wish list for way too long. I need it! And then I need to wear it ALL in Paris.
ReplyDeleteYou've convinced me but is there a color out there that will camouflage saddle bags (and not the ones you put on a horse?!) How ever will we recognize you if we come to Paris?

Aside from color jeans, what else are Parisians wearing this spring? I'm visiting at the end of May/ beginning of June and everyone keeps telling me that I shouldn't bring colorful clothing as it will make me stand out. Is that not true? What would you recommend?
ReplyDeleteSo on trend indeed. A girlfriend and I had been pining over colored jeans on our Pinterest boards and then one Saturday afternoon after a girls spa day at Bliss we made the wonderful terrible mistake of stepping into Kate Spade. Needless to say not even an hour later we both walked out with several new pairs of colored jeans including our shared lusted after fuschia jeans, and I also bought a pair of bright yellow, orange, and white. This season is going to be a wonderful one for color lovers!
ReplyDeleteThis is Beautiful!
