I don’t know exactly when it happened, but I’ve become a loafers person. The rest of my style hasn’t changed a whole lot – a couple years ago, I would have worn this same outfit from head to ankle, but with 3″ heels. Now I wear it with adorably nerdy penny loafers. I feel like classic menswear loafers with a feminine outfit is a very Parisian look, which is peut être why I’m drawn to it.

Or maybe it’s my bad back and the unstoppable train to old age and death we’re all on that makes me crave anything to make this painful thing called life more bearable.

Nah, probably just the cute French thing.

I don’t know about you, but I’m loving the whole oversized blazer trend. Mostly because all blazers tend to look oversized on me anyway. My neglectful parents failed to feed me GMOs and corn syrup, or whatever it is that made other American children grow into giant wrestlers – or just people whose bra straps don’t fall down 20 times a day. Instead, they irresponsibly fed me fruits and vegetables and fish so I only grew to European size. C’est la vie.

Is this blazer supposed to be oversized or “normal”? I have no idea. But now it’s oversized, and I’m very chic and trendy.
