Bonjour it's Paris!

Day 1_5

Day 1_4

I promised a recap of my adventures, right? Well, to begin, it barely began. As evidenced by my forlorn post from the airport, I wasn't sure I was even going to make it out of the country. Technical difficulties and a sudden hailstorm resulted in a six hour delay.

But finally we boarded the plane, and despite all the napping I'd done in the car on the way to the airport and the snooze I took on the flight, I passed out upon arriving at the hotel. Which led to a late start to the day.

I managed to cajole my sisters into a late dinner by Trocadero. They quickly stopped whining when we passed by the Tour Eiffel on the way.

I proceeded to snap into blogger mode. Which means instead of trying to take myself seriously, I turned into a huge ham for anyone that would watch. Look, you can't embarrass me if I'm already embarrassing myself!

    I think it was a suitable start to our journey, and the perfect intro to the City of Light.

    Starting from Scratch


    I think it started when Annabel moved to Blogger from Livejournal/Chictopia. Her style is defined by combining crisp, flattering basics in neutral colors. I am constantly envious of how put-together she looks without ever wearing anything that felt too trendy or gimmicky.

    I, on the other hand, am crazy about incorporating color and wearing frilly girly things every so often. And whenever I have an "I have nothing to wear!" day, it's because the mix of things in my closet varies from wedding appropriate garb to punk concert wear.

    While yes, I know what my personal aesthetic is, my wardrobe looks totally schizophrenic. My current closet as it is now leaves me overdressed or standing out for every occasion. I just want to start from scratch and wear only black and white basics until I sort this out. Am I the only one?

    Things that are on my list as I clean my closet:

    The perfect v-neck tee

    Madewell boyfriend v-neck


    The perfect pair of dark wash skinny jeans

    J. Brand 912 Pencil jean in Ink, $159


    The perfect printed top



    The perfect oxfords

    Frye Erin Oxford, $168


    Anything else I should include? Alexander Wang tees? A specific brand of leggings? What about blouses? And I guess I should try to foray into slacks again. Pants suggestions?
