Always best to do some "on the ground research" before buying anything. Sounds like you'd do just fine in Paris! Tory Agreed. Always best to do some “on the ground research” before buying anything.

I have learned the cardinal rule of fashion abroad: don't buy something here JUST to wear it there and only there. The whole "Oh I'm sure this is what they must be wearing in Paris" thing has backfired on me every time! I looked like a wannabe bumpkin poseur. I started wearing things that made me feel "ME" and just ravaged all the apparel shops there per my taste and inspiration. And I don't care if my feet fall off I will never wear big running / tennis shoes ever! It's like the American uniform in Paris is still New Balance Shoes, Dockers (men or women), a fanny pack (SERIOUSLY), and fleece sweatshirt. Non! Seulment riding boots, flats, MAYBE a sleek pair of Adidas for traipsing the shops, promenades, museums, etc :) Bon Journee!

I second so many of your thoughts! I pretty much wear all black when I am there as well. IT's so much easier, and I have to give no thought to my wardrobe. Have a wonderful time, and let's definitely meet up while I am there at the end of the month. Wow. I second so many of your thoughts! I pretty much wear all black when I am there as well.

It's all I can do not to turn into an insufferable braggart within a month of leaving for Paris and up to six months after I've returned. Damn, I'm jealous. Bon voyage! #4 Made me laugh out loud.
