You guys: barrettes are back and I’m here for it. In case you’re thinking to yourself, “Won’t I look like a 12-year-old?” Um…if only it were that easy to look younger. Also, I don’t know about you, but when I was 12, do you know what I was doing? Singing Spice Girls into a hairbrush. Do you know what I wasn’t doing? Paying bills. There are worse things than being 12, my friends. Embrace the barrettes, 90s babes!

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.
