Life plan: Work until I pay off my law school loans (approx. 1000 years from now), retire to Paris, be a fabulous expat eating croissants and producing mediocre watercolors until I run out of money, then become a crazy old lady who lives in a teepee made from her own clothes and feeds animals in le parc.

Basically I will be the bird lady from Mary Poppins. And this is what I will wear. (Dress for the job you want.)

P.S. Ever notice that white people who move to another country are “expats” and non-white people are “immigrants”? How convenient. Looking forward to positive change in the next 4 years.

I tried my best to commit to “Secondhand September” (not buying any new clothes for the whole month), but I broke down around the 29th and ordered these boots because…I mean…come on. I’m always saying that my ideal personal style is “Parisian badass,” and these boots are from a Parisian company, and they’re pretty badass. These boots might be the key to pulling my whole wardrobe together, and I couldn’t risk them selling out. I would have been so désolée. Hope you like them because you’ll be seeing them a lot this fall and winter and for many falls and winters to come!
