Parisian chic

I love the Paris.  In particular the style. It just looks so effortless. I swear French woman can wear the most basic ensemble and it can look a million dollars.  In an effort to channel my inner-chic I try and imitate what I presume to be Parisian. And by that I mean a striped top and Chelsea boots. In the winter months, which in England are most of the year, I live in these boots. They are easy to wear and make one look like they have made an effort with their appearance if styled cleverly. Perfect right? Over Christmas I added to my collection, so I now have 2 pairs.  One pair that are looking a bit worse for wear, I prefer to say lived in personally. And the other are just so pretty I’m scared to wear them. Does anyone else get that with shoes?

Paired with a pair of skinny jeans, I favour the Topshop Jamie jeans (they retain their shape for longer than the Leigh jeans and look just as chic, your welcome!) and a striped top. I have subconsciously grown to have quite a collection of these styled tops. I’m instantly drawn to them in any shop. Maybe because I know that they are a safe choice.

So there you go that is how I achieve my version of the Parisian chic style. Striped top. Skinny jeans. Chelsea boots. Pair all this with a  smart navy coat and you’re good to go.

And just in case you are tempted I'll leave the links to the boots below. Just in case.
