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.

Mustard yellow and burgundy: two of my favorite colors this time of year. Oh, who am I kidding? Two of my favorite colors any damn time. Plus, stripes and polka dots might be my favorite mixed print combo. Basically, there are a lot of favorite things happening in this outfit. If I had more spare time, I would write my own version of the song “My Favorite Things.” I would be just like Julie Andrews, except with no musical talent whatsoever, and you’d be better off having a parrot take care of your children.
