Dress Like a French Woman

A Parisian-inspired one-page style guide for effortless, everyday dressing.

We just returned from spending June in our favorite city, Paris. The weather was unpredictably cold and wet. It rained the first two weeks we were there, and I was in my trench coat most days.

What I Wore For A Month In Paris

My goal for Paris is always to pack pieces I can easily mix and match together to maximize versatility. I want to visit a museum and have dinner on the same day while staying in the same outfit. Here are the outfit combinations I wore in Paris in June.

If you are headed to Paris or on a trip abroad in general, you can always check the blog for monthly Paris packing lists. You can also read this post, which discusses the pieces I always pack for a Paris trip, no matter the season.

White Blazer + Navy Pants +T-Shirt + Brown Sandals

Shoes I Wore In Paris For The Month

5 Pairs of shoes I packed and wore in Paris for a month.

These are the shoes I packed and wore the most during the trip. Paris is a walking city full of cobblestone streets so I always pack comfortable walking shoes.
