I just bought my first pair of “skinny jeans” this afternoon: dark, uber-fitted and the perfect compliment to what I’m now focusing-on now as my Black-White-Icy Lavender toned Paris Wardrobe

I was going to do-my-usual even with these and get the size 8 but I put on the size 6 and they perfectly fit the part for a more Parisian-styled silhouette; amazing what just one size difference can do. And they’re comfortable which surprised me.

Fun fun! Best, Lac

Thanks to you and Tex for your regular comments and readership!

James will be my fashion-shoot photographer a time or two, haha, and I’ll put together an on-the-street fashion update from “what all fashionable” I see going on while over there. Fall Fashion Week just went on over there and it’s been interesting to see what’s ahead inspirationally/trending but I also am a huge fan of what’s happening-now that the ordinary citizen has put together…

And thank you again so much Tex! I wrote back to you and V about your terriffic informational post within its original posting area. This kind of information is pure “gold” for someone like me who likes to blend in a little in overseas big cities and be part of the vibe going on within them to some degree. Much appreciated!

Best to you both and now this afternoon, I’m off to purchase my first pair of skinnier-jeans…. Lac

Thank you Tex! I really appreciate this!

Absolutely wonderful information and now I WISH that I hadn’t sold my LV handbag years ago when moving out to the Utah mountains to be a ski-bum… oh well. I kept the 2 Chanels thankfully and now I see where they’re trending again a bit among the younger set so that’s neat.

My big-bear of a husband will be doing the roomy-look with his clothes per usual but I’m going to take your advice and go get me some much-skinnier jeans than I usually wear. On a good-day I’m a petite-length size 6 but I do tend to wear mostly 8′s to have a bit of “give” with my clothes excepting all those variations of the-little-black-dress sleeveless shifts that I seem to keep acquiring. This’ll be fun to break out of my mode with a new pair of jeans that are more Parisian in style. I also read somewhere that they mostly prefer dark blue jeans over the lighter-hued ones. Maybe because they look dressier?

Oh and this is right up my alley: scarves and piling on the jewelry!!! I do that here where I live on an island off the coast of SC: both on-island and off-island. That’s been my style for years so this is great to read! A lot of my profile-pictures for writing, school and so on show me in simple pearls and pearl stud earrings but that’s for a classic-look that I do enjoy however, otherwise, unless I’m kayaking, fly fishing or at the beach, I LOVE layering necklaces, bracelets and wearing statement-earrings.

Thank you again for all of the great information and the inspiration! I’ll definitely write-in to V about Paris post our trip over there which is this coming March and send a picture or two of what I wore that she can share here if she wants to…

Best, Lac
