I’ve been back stateside for a few days now and I’m missing Paris like CRAZY! So I decided to finally sit down and post an outfit post from Paris. Kind of makes me feel like I’m back in the City of Light.
In my previous post, I talked about how much it rained, forcing me to do a lot of my sightseeing on the same day. I went to see the Louvre, the Lovelock Bridge and the Eiffel Tower all on the same day. I knew I would be taking a ton of pictures and doing a lot of walking so I opted to wear something that was both fun and comfortable. I thrifted this skirt a few years ago from the Beacon’s Closet in Park Slope (NYC). It’s easily one of my greatest thrifting finds to date. I especially love the fact that it was only $10 ($17 after I paid for alterations). I paired it with a mesh top and gold zip-front crop top. I added a little bit of edge with my favorite black lippy and cat-eye shades from Aldo.
I love this outfit and it made me feel so bright and cheery. The bright pattern paired with my favorite thing in the world…BLACK…put me totally in my element. A great outfit plus a great day of sightseeing…what more could a girl ask for!
What I’m Wearing:
Mesh Top: Lila Shoes | Crop Top: BeBe | Skirt: Thrifted (similar here & here) | Purse: Necessary Clothing | Sunglasses: Aldo Shoes

I love the way you paired that skirt. This outfit looks super classy yet edgy, as you say! Love the cutting of the skirt and the contrast of the mesh top with that.
