I know you ladies love shopping...(slightly AW)

DH has given me the okay to do a "little" shopping for Paris. Want to help me shop? My style dream is to own all of Ann Taylor for Old Navy prices. Or be Audrey Hepburn.

I'm thinking 2 pairs of pants (maybe just one depending on price...willing to pay a bit more), a skirt and/or dress, and a few tops. Maybe a pair of shoes. I have cute flats for touristy stuff, but I could always add more! 

Some things to consider:

-Will be sticking to the subway or rental car with a new friend (DH's coworker's 65-year-old husband...awesomesauce)
-Will be visiting all the touristy stuff (Eiffel Tower, L'Orangerie, Notre Dame, Versailles, etc.)
-Will go out to dinner a few times with extended staff, including VP level, of DH's company (DH will wear slacks and an Oxford)
-Will not wear anything too short or too clingy. Capris look terrible on me for the most part.

And, go.

And the slightly AW part was mentioning trip to Paris. Woot woot!

  • Oh wow I'm too tired to read. My first pass through your post I thought you said your H is encouraging you to shop IN Paris and I though "oh hell no, she'd better not be sticking to Ann Taylor!" LOL.

    Have you checked out J. Crew lately? For dresses maybe The Limited?

  • Can anyone tell me about ankle-length pants? Especially if they are under 5'4"?
    Do it!! I'm 5'4" if I stand up extra straight. ;)

    I bought 2 pairs of skinny ankle pants (from ON) last fall. They are my favorite things ever! I can wear them with heels to be dressier, but I can also wear them with flats without having hems dragging on the ground. I've got a pic on my phone that I'll upload in a minute with the pants and heels; I can't find one with flats.

    I'd just make sure they're cut nice and slim. Otherwise your legs will end up looking stumpy.

  • I wear ankle skinny jeans all the time!  They are great because like Lucky said, you can wear them with flats or heals to change up the style.

    I really love Asos.com for dresses.  They have so many in every style imaginable and if you sign up for their premier account ($20/year) you get free two day shipping and free return shipping, so it's super easy to try things and return them if they don't work.

    I don't know if this in your price range, but this one is really pretty.

  • Thanks, ladies. Will they look okay on someone, er, fluffy? I'm not overweight, but I certainly have some extra lbs around the tummy and thighs.
