I'm often asked , "What do the Parisian women wear?" I think this photo sums it up. Slim legged pants/jeans, flat shoes (oui, especially the Repetto ballet flats). A fitted jacket and of course the obligatory scarf wound round and round, even in the summer. Bon chance trying to replicate "the look". I've failed miserably!
Blogger seems to be eating your comments today on both of my blogs. I'm receiving them via email but they are not showing up here. I have to idea why.
She looks very chic & stylish - how do those Parisiennes keep so slim ? beats me - they seem to eat well but still retain their youthful figure - that's it I'm moving to Paris !!! good shot

I'm sure you're being hard on yourself, Virginia! I'm going to memorise this for a future/futile attempt at replication. :)
ReplyDeleteThis certainly looks about right! I think the flat shoes are worn by the women who walk all over the city, but I've see many high high heels on the young ones. Perhaps they have not learned yet... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe Paris look -- you found it.
ReplyDeleteVirginia, I have seen a glimpse of your scarf collection and you wear them well! How many new scarves did you discover in Paris this time? Too bad that the Repetto boutique was closed! Tant pis pour nous.
ReplyDeleteApparently Blogger is eating your comments, and mine today. Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteYour comments are acting up too, I see.
ReplyDeleteI like how they say "Blu gins." Didn't realize about the scarves -- must try.
Genie,
ReplyDeleteLet's not talk numbers of scarves! You were along for two purchases and there might have been another one....:)
I would fit right in .. I always have a scarf either wrapped 'round my neck or in my schlep bag .. I get cold easily ...
ReplyDeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteI hope this comment shows up. My comments on the bus photo and your portrait are nowhere to be found!
Blogger is like that sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIt is that "je ne sais quoi" that makes all the difference.
ReplyDeleteI've always been amazed by the scarf-wearing in the summer heat!
ReplyDeleteNichole,
ReplyDeleteAs a southerner I'm always blown away at the layers that the Parisians wear in the summer. i"m always running around in a tee shirt with 3/4 sleeves! Ice water in their veins??? HA
Thanks for taking this great photo! It will definitely help me pack for my next trip to Paris.
ReplyDeleteI would love to pull this look off...if only I didn't sweat!
ReplyDeleteWomen in Paris are elegant and charming. All women :-)
