I bought them at Jcrew for $98. They were a bit long so I had them shortened so I could wear them with flats for my trip to Paris (I leave on Thursday) I'm still a bit unsure as to what to take and I dread packing but I will use the tips on this forum to get me through the dreaded packing.

Your blog is fantastic and has become my favorite fashion resource. I love having an insider's guide to current Euro trends. I was an exchange student in France and also lived in Europe for a few years, and I miss the fashions that were more readily available over there. Thank you so much for this, Angie!

Your photos take me back to when I lived there as a university student 10 years ago. I love that city! And I love your sophisticated, pixie-ish look. I am so glad to hear that voluminous tops are still popular, along with straight-leg or skinny jeans. That look does wonders for my apple shaped figure and I do need to replace some of my tunics as they are starting to look worn out. I'd like to move on to more close fitting button-down shirts, but I still have a tummy to lose! Still working on that. Also I'm happy to hear that color is still very much "in". As for patent, that's probably something I should think about more in accessories. I have one black patent bag and one pair of black patent heels and that's it. A patent bag or two in bright colors might be a great way to add more snap to my wardrobe without too much expense. I'm not a fan of linen either--it's nice and cool in hot weather but I don't like how disheveled it looks when it wrinkles. And I hate ironing... Angie, thank you so much for your Paris updates!
