First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for their well-wishes on my trip to Paris. It means a lot to me to know I have such a supportive JCA-base. :) The trip itself was amazing (the weather was great, the sites were lovely, the food was fantastic!) Unfortunately, this time around I am having a hard time re-adjusting back home (in terms of jet-lag, which I am still oddly recovering from).As for regular street trends in Paris, I think the U.S. has finally caught up! I did not see anything that we are currently not embracing. (I hope what I wrote just now makes sense.)
So what is popular (from my viewpoint): Skinny jeans, blazers, and scarves were the norm. And how they wrap the scarves... like performance art! Every once in awhile I would notice a Parisian sporting a pair of high heels (and work them so well it made me jealous!). But black ballet flats or sneakers (like Bensimons or Converse) would be more commonly seen among the younger ladies. (This could also be because I was in the more touristy spots that involved walking). The other thing I would mention is dresses, well what was worn with them. Black tights with dresses were common. But so was wearing a jacket (like a denim jacket) over a dress. All the young ladies rocked that look.
The only disappointing "trend" I saw (and I would not necessarily call it a "trend" since it was seen on just 2 women, who I knew were not from Paris), was the Snookie poof hair-style. It was bizarre seeing that hair-style on anyone who is not Snookie (from MTV's Jersey Shore).
Lastly, I did not notice any J.Crew. Last year I spotted it on travelers a few times, but not this time around. But don't worry, I wore my J.Crew and wore it proudly!
Again, thank you everyone for the nice comments on my safe travels & trip! :)
