Mastering Parisian Style

Blazer/Shoes: Zara | Boyfriend Jeans/Beanie: H&M | Top: NYC street corner
I'm just going to put it out there. I don't know what all the hoopla is about when it comes to Parisian style. Most of the people here dress the same as they do everywhere else. Now I can count on one hand how many times I starred at a Parisian women and admired her style. Exactly 5 times since I've been here. Once today when I was going into the subway this very French woman with a fabulous coat, heels and red lipstick was coming out and I thought: hotdamn! whatever she's having I will have two!

Shoes: Zara
There is definitely a few Parisian chic uniforms and it usually involves a very form fitting leather jacket, the perfect pair of skinny jeans that make your ass look fabulous and a sturdy closed toed heel (whether boot or pump). Then there's that whole scarf thing. Even when its not so cold....there always ALWAYS has to be a scarf. The other uniform I've seen a lot of is a very large oversized sweater worn as a dress, with a belt, leggings, boots and that said leather jacket again. I admit Paris made me want to amp my outfit of the day game up. It's really about being comfortable yet stylish.

The day I wore this two Parisian guys told me I look magnifique and tres belle. Yeah no one could tell me anything for the rest of the day. I think the French already dig my style. If you are looking to master Parisian Style check out some of these sets.

overall chic..yes its possible

overalls and chic aren't really two words that belong in the same sentence. when I first got this denim overall cutoffs set from Urban Outfitters I wasn't sure how I'd wear them. then it just came to me. I decided to try to dress them up. Which I thought would be quite an impossible task but with the right footwear and a blazer...I think I made it work.
