Style School: Parisian

-

    Happy weekend, all! I'm back with another Style School post. This next fashion is something that I really enjoy pulling off now and again. It is none another than...

Parisian

   A Parisian look is characterized by simple, and “effortless” styling. Basic pieces, neutral colors, and horizontal stripes, are wardrobe staples for a lady wanting to emulate this style. The wearer might put together an outfit that could easily fit into the “Classic” category, then top it off with a colorful beret. Parisian style is an excellent choice for the girl who wants to keep styling simple but chic.

Examples of Parisian Pieces: Sailor top; Tailored trousers; Full midi skirt; Ballet Flats; Leather Jacket; Trench Coat; Beret; Small Scarf




   My own Parisian outfit was a breeze to put together, as I already had the right pieces. My blue and white sailor top was a no-brainer. I decided to pair it with a navy skirt, and also layered on black tights for warmth. As with last week, black flats were my shoe of choice. A crocheted beret topped off the outfit, and was that final detail that made the look.

Outfit Details: Top ~ Target; Skirt ~ Hand-me-down; Tights ~ ?; Shoes ~ Kohl's; Beret ~ Made by me 


    I hope that these Style School posts have been helpful so far in clearing up the mystery of all the phrases thrown around in the fashion world. It's fun for me to research different styles and find ways to define them! Stay tuned for next week, when I plan to take on "Boho!" :)

      Oh all sorts of things! Right now I'm making lip balm holders for a Easter craft fair we are going to be attending in March. :)

      I like making hats as well ... I have a whole bag of them. :)

      In the past I've made coasters, necklaces, bracelets, bookmarks, animals (owls are my favourite to make!), a couple baskets with t-shirt yarn, and some doilies/mats. :) I'm probably forgetting some things, but oh well!

      So yes you can tell I like crocheting! :p

    Dear Paige, such an adorable outfit. The beret looks nice with the ringlets in your hair. As always your smile brightens up your look. Have a great rest of your weekend. Looking forward to "Boho", style post;) Blessings, Stephanie

   Hullo all! How's life been lately? My life has been rather interesting lately, in part because I just started a new job today. Below you'll see what I wore; the skirt and shoes are very familiar, but the top is a new piece that will likely become a go-to item!

  Happy Monday, readers! Of course, you are most likely seeing this on Tuesday, thanks to my late night posting and the fact that many of you are in a different time zone. Is your week off to a good start? I'm currently getting over a respiratory bug, but I had a pleasantly low-stress Monday at work. :)
