Why are all the small towns fashion frumpville? The uniform here is shapeless jeans, white tennis shoes, baggy appliqued sweatshirt and stadium coat, preferable teal or mauve. They take these coats to the dry cleaners for repair--probably worth a dollar at Goodwill. I think in days gone by people in small towns had more dignity and would dress more fashionably. But now we are so conditioned by sloppiness around us that it's a major paradigm shift to pack for a big city. When in doubt wear black? I think blogs can be a tad deceiving, though. I was basing my wardrobe for Paris on blogs and was packing too many bright colors until I got some advice from a former Parisian. The French are very quiet in both their demeanor and their attire--not just black, but dark, muted grey, brown and olive was what I saw. Good thing I didn't take up room in my suitcase with those glaring mustard cords!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262737198826467011.post-18608564468171660792010-11-03T19:11:45.668-07:002010-11-03T19:11:45.668-07:00Hummm, how did i miss this post?

And there is such a issue because you outfit needs to be so many things. <br />You need shoes you can walk in. If you are going shopping and want to try things on, it's a pain if it's going to take 20 minutes to get your clothes on and off, and you need your clothes to be functional as well (like not wearing a coat that has no pockets). <br />So packing is always a stressful thing.<br />But it looks like you did okay :)LyddieGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604790644999494872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262737198826467011.post-41969484519703296312010-10-27T17:19:03.724-07:002010-10-27T17:19:03.724-07:00Oh, I hope you have a great trip!

The good thing about being in high fashion cities is that it's an anything-goes environment! You'll pull it off beautifully, no matter what you wear!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16517833826056244744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262737198826467011.post-45852771618207180512010-10-27T15:12:08.696-07:002010-10-27T15:12:08.696-07:00Happy Birthday!
