Fashion OOTD: A Winter Morning in Paris
Where
has winter gone?! In
Paris (and in different parts of France actually), these past few
months have felt like a really, really long autumn - or a very early
spring, depending on the days! Although it is pleasant to walk around
without a scarf and gloves on, this situation is slightly scary if
you ask me. I'm sure colder days are coming though, now that January
has arrived.
However
the day when these photos were taken was spent with my scarf thrown
in my bag most of the time! I went to the Champs Elysées with
my mum and little brother to see the Christmas Market, even though
Christmas was already behind us. My mum is just like me, she loves
everything Christmas related and she took photos of basically every
Santa she could see. I wanted to take a few outfit photos, it has
been a while since I last posted an Outfit Of The Day post!
I
love this skirt, I found it in a charity shop in Paris last year. The
buttons on the front are my favourite thing! It is slightly too short
though, I don't always feel comfortable about wearing short skirts
when I'm here in Paris - that's not a problem in England, but here,
let me tell you, being a woman makes you need to pay constant
attention to the way you dress... anyways, that is a whole other
story!
More
about the place: the fountain that you can see in these photos is
located at the Place de la Concorde, right between the
park of the Tuileries and the Champs Elysées. Often full of tourists
and crazy traffic, some forget that this was the place where, in
1793, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette's heads were chopped off (and
many other heads too, actually!). Every bit of Paris has a story to
tell!
Have you ever been to the Champs Elysées? Also, let me know how the weather is where you live! Is it winter yet?
