Traveling Through Outfits The Whole Week Day 3 : Paris, France

Since I think it will be awhile until we can all start traveling normally again, I started a style challenge on my Instagram where I will come up with projected outfits that I would wear if I were traveling to a certain place. I wrote all about the challenge in this blog post and also on my Instagram (@mylifeisashoe).

For day 3, we are traveling to Paris, France. I actually have spent some time in Paris. Right, after university, I lived there for about a year and it was amazing! I've been to Paris several times before that about three times : on two short trips with family and also for about a couple weeks for a study tour in the second year of my university. For the first two short trips, I honestly thought Paris was way over rated. I really could not see why everyone kept romanticizing it and making it such a big deal. It was only when I got to spend more time there, on my third visit for the study tour that I was hooked. That was largely why I decided to spend my year abroad there after university (instead of Spain which was expected and also what my two sisters chose!). I guess I just wanted something different plus that study tour trip really got me longing for more Paris! Living there for a year was not enough! I want to go back!

Outfit 1 

I've always wanted to wear a blazer as a top! And with jeans and heels. Sadly it is way too hot to do so here in my home so I'm wearing it to this virtual trip to Paris instead. I realized that this blazer did not have buttons so I had to pin it and last minute decided to add a thrifted brooch to jazz it up! I wore some dark heeled pumps to finish it off. I absolutely love this look! It's such an easy effortless look that would look so chic and at home in the streets of Paris. 

Outfit 2

Since I imagine I'll be going to Paris in late May, the weather would just be starting to get sunny and warm. This dress would be perfect for sightseeing as it's lightweight. I would cinch it with a belt and wear my pretty Sala Chaussures weekender flats!

Outfit 3

When I lived  that year in Paris - I found that I had never had an easier laundry load - it was because I was  always in head to toe black! Monochromatic black looks were pretty much my uniform there and also up to this present time (although a lot lesser than before). So I was thinking, why not bring it back to Paris. I mean how can you not wear all black there?  Monochromatic black outfits need not be boring provided you accessorize it  well and wear interesting silhouettes (see my post about dressing up all black looks HERE.) In this outfit, I accessorized with my snakeskin print Marilyn flats from my shoe line Sala Chaussures and this beautiful white shelled sunglasses I found at a fair in San Francisco. Understated drop earrings and a big black bag complete the look.

I'm loving all my Paris outfits and I am really wishing I could go! What would you guys wear to Paris?
