What I wore to France

the first time I packed perfectly...

I don’t know about you, but anytime I travel anywhere, I overpack and end up wearing only 1/4 of what I brought - and I don't know why I have never learned from this unfortunate packing phenomenon. However, a cosmic fluke happened with my trip to France and I ended up packing like a bad boss betch! Here are just a few outfits I brought I will show below. I will provide links if I can but I do also want to say, alot of these styles are second hand! I am a HUGE fan of Depop, poshmark, and The Real Real.

I have to start with this outfit because I have been ABSOLUTELY duped - Haha. I bought this epic Lord of the Rings tee off depop and I thought this was a very vintage tee that no one would be able to duplicate, but one of you guys gave me the link and its from Walmart . Truth of the matter, is that I don’t care and am still obsessed with it! I love these sports shorts from Nagnata. I wear them all the time and love that I can wear them casually or make it a bit more of a statement look with a white tee, slicked back bun and some hoops and lipstick!

I already posted about this divine dress in another substack post so I will just go ahead and link it here! You all already know how much of a fan I am of their brand.

This top is an actual favorite I own. It is from Nagnata but they do not sell this style anymore so I found it and bought it from Depop! It can be an activewear top but I typically wear it on a casual summer night with a fun necklace and simple shorts. I found one available here second hand in a different color if you’re interested! Shorts are vintage 1980’s Patagonia shorts that I got from Etsy.

This set is from Doen from last year! I find a good amount of Doen to be pretty pricey, but I pulled the trigger and actually really love this set and have worn each piece separately too! The waist bag is an absolute favorite and I wore it everyday in France. It is from Gabriel for Sach but sadly the brand is no longer selling anything.

This was a very classic repeated outfit. I find that Gil Rodriguez tops are THE most versatile top in the entire world. I wear Gil at at least 4 times a week and have most of their tops in this style! Amazing quality, classic colors and fit. The balloon pants from Lebonne Shop are also a staple and I wear these at least twice a week.

This top is so light and lovely and I got it from a very old collection of Gimaguas. I tend to enjoy their more previous drops and I covet every piece I have from their older collections. The skirt is PERFECT and I have worn this with a baggy tee shirt and greased back bun and also with a fancy jazz top. Truly so versatile. I couldn’t find this on their website but found one second hand in green in case you wanted it!

You guys this top was a ridiculous purchase that I didn’t even think twice about. I was influenced by a picture of Haley Bieber in this top and my eyes went black and as soon as you know it, it was already purchased and on its way to me. Anyways, I don’t regret it. I have ZERO clue what their sustainability measures are, but sometimes I do that and just make sure I love and wear the piece. To the left is me in the outfit in full. Top is Ami Paris (all sold on their website but found some sizes left HERE) and bottoms are linen from Aritzia!
I have a few more but I feel like I have bombarded you with too many links! If you enjoy these posts, please let me know and I will make sure I do this once a month. Bye for now, thanks for being here!
