Postcards from Paris: {Wearing White in Winter}
Yes, white is normaly worn in the summer, but I found it to be some form of liberation to wear it layered. It gave me a sense of refreshment. My room-mate with a baffled look as I departed out the door explained to me in french, but white is worn in the summer.
Oui, Je sais.
And with that and a smile, she handed me a white fur collar of her's. I wrapped it around my neck and departed. During my walk through Les Halles and the Tuileries, not many people were wearing white. In fact, I can't recall a single person.
With the Tuileries leading to the Champs Elysees, one of the most classically stylish areas of Paris, I found myself in front of these folks...
Pale on pale, with their draped white cloaks.
Oh, to match the statues in Paris!
No shame in wearing white in winter.
*Disclaimer*
For the sake of my parents who read this blog, I was also wearing a heavy coat.

I LOVE it!!!
and had you been in the vicinity of The Sartorialist, he certainly would have captured you and shared with the world your unmistakable, beautiful style.
