Considering that Paris is generally accepted as the style capital of the world, I feel the need to step up my game for our upcoming trip! Plus, my friend Lisa just posted about her packing plans for Rome, so I wanted to get in on the action :) My goal is not to be mistaken for a Parisienne (I am proud to be an American, after all), but I like to dress for my destination and so our trip is a great excuse to dip a toe into the ex-pat life and get a little fancy. I’ve been doing my homework, and here is what I have learned about blending in in the City of Light: — yes to scarves — no to denim — stick to simple palettes (namely BLACK) — wear cobblestone-friendly flats Lots of folks also recommend packing light, in just a carry-on if possible, since we will likely be wheeling/carrying our suitcases on and off public transportation, along said cobblestone streets, and up the stairs of our flat. According to Wikipedia, the average Paris June high is 73, and the low is 57. With that in mind, here are a few pieces I either own and am packing, or hope to purchase in the next few months! Striped shirt | A French classic! I just bought this one and love its heavier weight. Chambray tunic | Lightweight, chic, and simple. I just bought this, too, and am excited to wear it belted with leggings. Cuter in person :) Patterned shirt | Love the graphic pattern of this shirt and its silky feel! White button-down shirt | Crisp and classic! This one from Loft has great reviews. Black leggings | Perfect for layering. Red lipstick | I just got the Nars stick in Cruella as my Sephora
