I wore this outfit for the flight and then for our first day. Since it was an overnight flight we had the entire day in front of us and knew we wouldn't really get time to change before the full day in Paris. Everything in this outfit is comfortable material and can be folded into very small sizes which is helpful when traveling. The sunglasses are from the Gap Outlet. They are just your everyday plain aviators and I wore them the entire trip in almost every picture I took with me in it. The knit black scarf is also a basic piece by BP. I got it as a gift but through a little resaerch I've found they carry them from time to time at Nordstom and Nordstrom Rack. The shirt is also Gap. It's actually a scoop neck long sleeve tee. It's the most comfortable shirt I own. I have this mint one and a white one and they are the perfect shirts to dress up a pair of jeans or anything because the shirt looks more formal but feels like pajamas. The skirt is already featured in my First Weekend of Spring Haul video and it is a basic gray cotton skater skirt from H&M. My jacket is a simple black rain coat/windbreak that I've had for ages. It ended up being chilly so I had to throw on leggings last minute which didn't exactly look great with my TOMS but it was okay. I wore gray TOMS around on the first day and my feet didn't hurt at all so I strongly recommend TOMS for any kind of city touring.
Day 2 in Paris I am once again in the black scarf and jacket. My purse I found at Nordstrom Rack a couple weeks ago. It is also featured in my March Favorites video and it has honestly became one of my favorite purses that I've ever had and I've been a bag carrier since I was about 8 so that is saying a lot. My dress I bought at T.J. Max it's by Cynthia Rowley. It's made of a spandex and cotton mix of material. It's a thick tank sleeve top with a scooped kneck. It could almost be qualified as a skater skirt style dress but it isn't quite there. I wore gray tights today with brown leather boots which was a mistake for a day full of walking. Watch out for my vlog to see the reprecussions. Don't worry, it's more bubbly than bloody.
This was one of my favorite looks I had planned out before I went on the trip but I ended up not liking how it looked as much as I thought I would but it was extremely comfortable. This is a cotton dress by Eliza J that I bought at Nordtrom Rack. The sweater is just a basic gray sweater but they are actually super hard to find, at least for me. This one I don't know much about other than it's from T.J. Max and my mom found it and I "borrrowed" it from her closet. My clutch is Coach and I bought it in Florida at an outlet mall. These metallic clutches are becoming really popular. Everytime I go to T.J. Max there is always a mulitude of different sizes and styles. Scarf is from Francesca's and since it is also a metallic color it's also pretty common to find similar scarves at most sotres in the mall. This outfit was comfrtable and warm which was perfect for a windy, chilly day of touring.
I have had this top for ages but never wear it for some odd and unknown reason. The blue thin striped sweater is from Hollister Co. and under it I have a Gap t-shirt. Both items are actually quite odd things. The shirt is like a normall t-shirt but the sleeves are cut off so it is almost a tank. The blue sweater is sheer with stripes on it. It's very light but also keeps me warmer on a cooler sunny day in Spring. Skirt is the same gray skirt as before. These boots are ones I bought at Macy's. You can pretty much find boots similar at Macy's year round. Scarf and purse are also the same and for warmth I finished the look with black leggings. I actually ended up loving this look. It was practical and comfortable. On trips like this where you spend time on a bus or car to get from place to place it's good to be comfortable and this outfit did that for me.
This was an outfit I put together last minute on the trip actually. I had brought a botton up white shirt to wear with this shirt but changed my mind from wearing it to this shirt because it is more comfortable and felt more liek a Spring shirt. The shirt is from Abercrombie and Fitch and they carry similar shirts every Spring although I don't like to support that store anymore. It feels like a basic shirt when wearing it but it actually has a lace overlay on the front with three buttons. It's simple, comfortable and a little more fancy. The scarf is the same as the gold one featured in an early outfit. It was quite chilly in the morning so I threw on a grey 3/4 length crop top sweater from Old Navy but once it came to be around 1 I got warm and just hung it over my shoulders. The skirt was also featured in my First Weekend of Spring Haul. It's from H&M and it's a double layered marron skirt with a black waist band that has a bow on the front. I love this skirt. It seems so classy to me. This outfit ranks lower on the comfort level because i don't like wearing non-elastic materials around my waist and stomach but other than that I love this outfit.
First off ignore the black grease stain on my pants. We biked at this chateau so it got a bit of grease on my pants, arg. Pants are American Eagle and the shirt is from Old Navy. It's a plain button up shirt that I took to get monogrammed. Do a little research to see who monograms in your area. I wore my TOMS with this outfit. Not a complex outfit for this day. It was very comfortable though.
So here I have the lovely gray skirt again with my leggings and boots. This time I paired them up with a plain black tank from Target and a denim button up from Eddie Bauer. The scarf is from American Eagle. I like this scarf because not only is it knit but it also has some silver metallic woven into the knit which adds a sparkle to it. This outfit wasn't as comfortable as I thought it was going to be. I am on the look out for another denim shirt to go with this outfit becuase this one isn't the right cut. With a denim shirt of the right cut though I will fall in love with this outfit.
Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed this post. If you are interested in this trip don't hesitate to check out the vlogs. I will be uploading one a day for the next 5 or 6 days.
Merci,
XOXO
