I recently took a long-lusted for dive and visited the beautiful city of Paris. I visited for a minimal two days and one night and conducted a brief, but amazing, whistlestop tour. It was hot and sunny my whole stay and the Paris fashions were running rampant. The beautiful ancients buildings and the gorgeous people decked out in maxi skirts and boho hats proved to be everything I ever dreamed Paris to be. The first day, I took the Eurostar from London to Paris. For those who are unfamiliar, the Eurostar is a train that runs under the ocean to transport people from one European country to the next. The train was fast and relatively painless (apart from a few minor ear-popping experiences) and I would definitely recommend it. Anyway, enough of that and onto the fashion aspect.
Day 1: Due to the travel I had to undergo on the first day, I required something relatively comfortable yet effortlessly chic in order to keep up with the fabulous Parisians. So, the night before I opted for a great black jumpsuit which I snagged from River Island and my beloved Urban Outfitters Paisley Cardigan. The Boho vibe was incredibly comfortable, yet still kept up with the fashion demands of the city. My feet found there way into some great sandals I got from Target (a great find). If you aren't great with flat shoes, there's a lot of walking involved so I would go with some incredibly styled sneakers (If you find yourself stuck on that, send me a question). I wore a sock bun, which I knew was a safe bet because my hair would never survive the train with my transportation sleep record (partnered with the fact I had to wake up at 4:30). This proved itself to be an incredibly good idea due to the heat and humidity of the day. I went with minimal makeup knowing it would fall of my face anyway through the walking and travel. My target sunglasses were tactfully worn to hide any potentially dark circles or tired, bloodshot eyes.

Day 2: The second day in Paris was slightly chillier than the first. After seeing the influx of maxi skirts I know longer had doubts about packing my own. I was thrilled when I found this wine-colored, salmon-y maxi skirt in New Look, and even more thrilled when I tried it on and it fit. Being 5 ft 7, I'm not necessarily overly tall, but I have incredibly long and lanky legs- getting a maxi skirt and/or dress that is long enough to look acceptable was proving to be quite difficult. I paired the skirt with a similarly colored printed crop tank top and a army green utility jacket (both also from New Look). I wore the same shoes as different ones would not fit in my classic tourist backpack.
