This jacket and I go way back to my early blogging days (can you believe I’m approaching 6 years of putting photos of myself on the Internet like a weirdo?). In fact, this jacket got me featured in the April ’14 edition of Redbook Magazine and I remember thinking I was hot shit. When tens of people all over the country are flipping past a tiny picture of you while sitting in doctors’ waiting rooms, that’s when you know you’ve really made it.

My style has changed a lot since then (partially because my lifestyle has changed), and I’ve gotten rid of most of the clothes I had when I was in law school. But this jacket has stood the test of time for some reason. I’m not the sentimental type, so I can only assume it’s because I haven’t stained or shrunk it yet, and I still like it! It’s rare that all those things coincide, and who am I to argue with the fate of an olive green jacket?

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.
