But, What am I going to Wear?



Link
From Le Train Bleu in Portland.
So pretty--that red shirt is actually silk and long and belted. Nice.
Now I just need to look Scandinavian.




From Matta.
To see these in person is to really fall in love,
the silks and the prints are pretty divine.
V says I can wear these with any of our new necklaces for Fall,
some tall boots, a wide belt for that long Matta dress on top,
maybe a pair of those cigarette-y black jeans and look pretty easy. Well you know. Not easy...but.
frye me up, frye me down.

J-Brand cigarette-y black jeans

Vanessa, my faithful assistant always plans out what she wants me to wear in Paris before I go. She figures out my mise-en-scéne, so to speak, and what she thinks will look best with our jewelry. This is what its come to. I shop twice a year, only before I leave for France because I suddenly realize I need to go out in public. These are some of the things we perused yesterday, accomplishing both avoidance of work and a carefully curated thinner wallet.

    Ok...I'm NOT going to Paris, but I just asked myself this same question. What am I going to where....to the wedding tomorrow. Hmmm....I think I like your dilemma more. Paris. Yes, much better.

    I like that Vanessa plans out which clothes will look the best with the jewelry.

    Take a couple of outfits to get started and do the rest of your shopping in Paris! My mom always makes fun of me that I only shop when I go home :)
    Have a wonderful trip...you are going to "faire un tabac" = be a hit!

    All of those clothes I love. When in Paris, be sure to check out L'As du Falafel in the Marais...You won't be disappointed.

    Bonnes vacances!
