Pretty much everything I’ve purchased so far this year has been with my Paris trip in mind. As in, I’ve thought to myself, “how cute will I look wearing this in Paris?!”Aaaaaand: purchase. It’s terrible logic because in my head, I am invariably chic while in Paris. Whether that will actually happen…I guess we’ll find out soon!

I got this yellow stripe tee for Paris (it’s even a French brand!) but I couldn’t wait to wear it. Once I’m on the other side of the Atlantic, I’m thinking it will go great with my new yellow beret. (Oh yeah. I’m doing it. I don’t care what anyone says.)

I also just hit up the big Shopbop sale* and got 20% off a floral midi dress, an asymmetrical floral top, and a navy maxi dress that looks comfy and perfect for spring layering and tourist-ing. (The sale goes through April 14, and you can get all the details here.) At this point I probably have 20 days’ worth of outfits for a 6-day trip, and I’m pretty sure no one is surprised.

I might not repeat outfits, but I definitely repeat outfit formulas. It wasn’t that long ago that I did the striped shirt / long vest / ponte pants combo. Remember this? For this slightly springier version, I just switched up the accessories and selected one of my 1000 other striped shirts. Maybe it’s the influence of my upcoming trip to Paris (!!!), but I seem to be wearing stripes even more than usual lately. The next outfit post on deck may or may not also involve stripes. OK, yes, it does. BUT, they’re not black and white!

Any guesses? You’ll just have to come back and see. Momma wants that web traffic.
