I spent some time in Paris this May, and am still uploading my photos. Here are a few fashion-related shots from that magical trip.

This was one of my go-to outfits on the trip. The early May weather was cool, so my J.Crew jacket was a godsend. The pockets were deep and snapped shut, a convenient place to stash my phone (with my anti-theft cross-body bag firmly blocking access) when I wasn't holding it. Scarves are practically de rigueur in Paris, sported by men, women, even children. Chic and practical on breezy days. I wore my black jeans and black ankle boots often, with either a short- or long-sleeved top underneath, depending on the weather. Plenty of room for a sweater as well, if needed.
[Note: I was neither gifted, nor compensated for, these items. Drat!]
The scarf I'm wearing by the Arc is from my closet at home.

The following two scarves were purchased in Paris (the Eiffel Tower was visible from our hotel room. I had to commemorate that! Plus, I don't have many accessories in that rich golden brown color), and Giverny: Monet - Impressionism - Water Lilies! respectively.

I did the tourist thing and bought berets for family members. Although it was spring, I did manage to spot a beret-wearer in the wild.

But my vote for Most Original Fashionista goes to this young lady. If you look closely, you'll see that one of her shoulder bags is made from a single long, white glove.

Ah, Paris! I hope it won't be another 50 years until I visit you again.
