parisian thoughts

when i put together this outfit i was thinking of my trip to Paris next year. I am quite excited about it being that its my dream city…next to New York. when i was a teenager living in North Carolina all i could think about was living in New York City. now that i’ve been here 6 years all I can think about is Paris. I spent high school learning French and reading Le Petit Prince a million times (in french). i used to dream in French. im rusty now. i can read it and write it much better than I can speak it.
i cant wait to roam the streets and visit the vintage shops. i cant wait to visit Musee du Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Jardin des Tuileries, and Versailles.
but for now the closest I will get to french anything is these YSL pumps.





Sweater: Aiko via Loehmanns | Skirt: Vintage thrifted | Bag: Vintage Thrifted
Sunnies: thrifted get similar here  Shoes: YSL Opyum | Lip Pencil: Nars Train Bleu

i love the romantic look of white on satin pearl white. i think for the winter i will be doing a lot of winter whites. the texture of the sweater is what drew me to it. its sooooo luxuriously soft. i topped the look off with a thrifted bag i got during one of my Thrift and the City Tours. I love this vintage jacquard skirt. i’ve had it for atleast 10 years. I got it from a great vintage shop Time After Time in Chapel Hill, NC. it cost about $10 but i’ve worn it to very special occasions. the last being New York Fashion Week. During my trip next year to Paris I will be there during fashion week but im all about getting to know the city and if i make it to a show or two…well that’s just dandy. My dream hotel to stay in is the Mandarin Oriental Paris. It is such a serence and beautiful hotel.
we shall see how it works out!

do you have a dream city you love?

    I am loving all of the texture in this outfit! That sweater is gorgeous. Is Time After Time far from Raleigh? Ive been here for 6 months and have yet to find a good thrift or vintage store 🙁

    Love the details on the skirt. I’ve been to Time After Time many years ago…great to know it’s still around. I’m from NC too.
    Paris is wonderful…you will love it!
    I have been to a lot of my dream cities as a single girl. However, my husband and I have only been on our honeymoon out of the states together. Planning a 6 stop trip around the world for late next year using miles. Going to be hard which direction to go!
