Dressed like a Francophile today in all the cliche French-style pieces I could find...
We, Americans, love to romanticize the French. Especially like their style and that so-called Parisian chic. It's a few too many Godard movies and suddenly every baguette and beret is imbued with some special charisma. I'm also a victim of the French-effect. I love my striped tops and my berets (especially when it's actually cold enough to need a hat!), although I had previously avoided the cliche French-phrase-tee. One cannot escape forever it seems and I couldn't resist this sweet "BONjour!" tee by Two String Jane and matching necklace since the playful capitalization and cheeky speech bubble seems to be poking fun at the whole thing. To me this outfit says, "yes I'm a walking cliche, but I know it and I'm in on the joke." Or at the very least I understand if you have the urge to laugh at me--at least I didn't carry around a baguette as my prop!

Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
J'adore this shoot! :) x

Very beautiful outfit!
ReplyDeleteI loved!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is darling! And I agree, Americans definitely romanticize the French! It's funny how this type of outfit has become synonymous with French -- it reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina.
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic!

Aha I definitely see Americans romanticising of the French style, but the British do it too. I'm off to Paris in a couple of days and seeing your tee made me so excited <3

I love a cliche, worn with a tongue in cheek and an air of irony.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun...who could resist?
A string of onions on a bicycle would have been the perfect mode of transport.

Oh là là you look so cute with the Frebch vibe <3 I think it's a worldwide feeling, once someone told me that he would have bet that I was Parisian and that felt as the most flattering comment ever! :)
