I’m prepping this post at my dining room table as I get ready to leave for vacation. By the time you read this, I’ll be in Paris and I’ll be a new and improved, more worldly Sarah. I’ll also probably be a little wine-tipsy, but that’s not the point.

It was extra hard getting through the last couple weeks at work, putting in extra hours to make sure I got everything done before I left, but it was all worth it. Well, I’m hoping it was…like I said, I haven’t left yet, so I’m trying to predict how I’ll be feeling in a couple days. But I’m relatively confident I will be feeling very happy. And wine-tipsy.

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.
