Spring Fever Fashion: Paris
Welcome to March and the first week of Spring Fever Fashion with my lovely friends at The Blended Blog. Thank you to everyone who linked up with us last week! We keep growing and it's thanks to all of you.
I love the idea of putting away the boots and sweaters, and nobody is more ready for spring to arrive than me. However, Seattle weather is not cooperating. I had a floral-y, spring-y outfit all picked out, but then I looked out the window and saw this.
So....new plan. Today seems like a good day to share some of the fashion I saw in Paris last year.
The biggest surprise was all of the color. We were there during a very warm week in September, so most of the French women were still in summer clothes. Black and white was popular, but I saw lots of bright reds and pinks.
The windows were dressed for fall however, and many featured a rich color palette.
I fell in love with this sheer blouse with a floral print underneath. Sadly, the store was closed so I couldn't make it mine. And see the lady in purple reflected in the window? More color!
Lest we forget we're in Paris, there was plenty of monochromatic styling, and more than a little black, white and gray.
Overall, this was the quintessential Paris look - black and white, with a pop of color. Sneakers, a beautiful bag, and an effortless but chic style.
Enough about Paris - let's get on to the spring fashion! I can't wait to see what everyone is wearing, and maybe next week I can join in. I hope you'll link up with us again this week, and follow along with #theblendedblogstyle.
I always picture black and white stripes when I think of Paris, so I'm glad you showed those! My friend lived there for two years and sent my kids the BEST baby clothes on earth.
ReplyDeleteThe kids in Paris were dressed so adorably - but it felt weird to take pictures of them!
DeleteI feel as though you guys have had so much more snow this winter than usual. Who cares when we can see Paris, right? Lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's still snowing right now. Yucch.
DeleteIt was 60 degrees here yesterday and today it's snowing! I love seeing your Paris fashion! That last outfit is so cute and chic!

The people watching was so much fun!
DeleteLove that last picture of the girl in the skirt...I want to dress like a Parisian now.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I definitely did not look Parisian!
DeleteParisians are so chic!!

pumps and push-ups
They really are - the women and the men!
DeleteYou got some great shots of all that fabulous style! I know you are focusing on spring fashion, but the coats are just gorgeous! I wish I had one like one of those this winter!
ReplyDeleteWe were there in the fall, so there were some wonderful coats and wraps.
DeleteThank you for sharing some of your French fashion photos. That white blouse is so unusual! I thought it was white with a watercolor floral bodice. But the floral is underneath? How clever. Like wearing a Monet.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I noticed about the women in France was how effortlessly fashionable (or so it seemed to me) they were. Like the cutie in the black and white stripes and the tennies. I would put that on and worry for hours about how I looked, and probably change clothes in the end...of course, I am nearly 60. But she looks so confident and stylish, and walks with self assurance. Thanks for sharing.
Hope spring makes it way to Washington soon.
It's still snowing. I agree - I definitely don't have the confidence of the French women!
DeleteThank you for sharing your French fashion photos! That white blouse is so unique and intriguing. At first, I thought it had a watercolor floral bodice, but it's actually underneath? How clever! It's like wearing a piece of Monet art.
