April 28, 2011 -- Visit to the Senate


For a more formal look, feel free to change out the leather jacket for a black boyfriend blazer (3/4 sleeve) and the black flats for black pumps! Black shoes + black tights = the longest-looking legs of all time.

But can't stop wandering around! Until, of course, my faithful comfy-pumps start putting a blister on my right heel and I'm forced to retire to bed and stream "Network" while eating straight out of the peanut butter jar. Parisian pastries won't make me fat, but that might.

The first time I've whipped out the sneakers since getting to Paris. Shamed as I was to wear them (especially at the beginning of tourist season), my feet were so grateful for the respite from heels and city flats that it will NOT be the last time.

So. Much. Walking. I actually had to go to GAP and buy new shoes because my old ones (same shoe but in oxblood) were getting holes in them. Additionally, I found affordable peanut butter in Paris. WIN.
