Fashion!

So, I did some shopping yesterday because the biggest sales of the year in France started yesterday, and I've been wanting to show you all pictures of the boots I bought a long time ago (when it was starting to get cold), so here's my comprehensive blog on all my new fashions! :)

I have no full-length mirror, so here's me in my elevator. Consequently, I was sitting in the elevator taking pictures of myself (gosh, that sounds awful) and the family of the school nurse who lives on the top floor pushed the button to their floor while I was just sitting in the elevator, so I rode to the top and got out on their floor like an idiot in front of both the parents and the kids. Whoops. Anywho.

I bought the checkered dress yesterday. Toot?

Full shot of the ensemble

Boots!! I love these; I bought these for 20 euro? At our outdoor market we have every Saturday morning. Num.

Zee front shot.

These ones for 15 euro at our market. :) They're like 3/4 of the way up to my knees or something, while the others are like 1/4 of the way up.

From the front

Other cool boots. Steph and I got these together on a buy 1, get 1 for 1 euro deal. They were originally 50, but since we split the cost in the end, got them for 25. Not bad, mah-tad.

And from the side (they're slouchy ankle boots, btw, if you can't tell)

And these are my most sensible pair. They're synthetic so good for snow (no suede or anything). And! Even though I don't like the round toe SO much, I like the little sock that's sewn inside: keeps the cold air from gettin' in duh boots.

Ok, clothes I bought yesterday on sale (everything was about 10 euros, except for this number and the dress, which were a little under 20)

Yup, sweater...

Oh! I like this one! I'm gonna take it back today, to see if they have another one in this size; when I got it home, I realized that one of the top buttons was missing in the back. There's only three buttons at the top of the back, though, so if they don't have another one, I'm just gonna keep it and find some buttons, I like it so much.

BERETS!!!!!!

Yes, it's true. After about 2 months of living in France, I purchased berets. Well, a beret. The coolest thing is that Stephanie, my bestie assistant friend, 's mom made me this one!!!! How cool is that!?!?!?!??!?!?! It's SO CUTE, TOO!!! Oh my lord. And I don't think I've ever owned anything that's been hand-knitted before (well, except for maybe a baby blanket I had, come to think of it). The story is that we were going out to our usual bar, and that night they had like a "hat night" where everyone was supposed to have hats. I thought I had brought my Royals cap, but no. So I raided Steph's hat stash and wore her black beret which is exactly like this one. I liked it and keep telling her, so she told her mom, and her mom decided to make me and send me one! Just like that! How NICE IS THAT??? So, that's like the sweetest/nicest thing that's happened to me here, and I LOVE this beret. Check it out...

It's so cute, iddnt it?

And then this is the one I bought for myself before Steph gave me the one from her mom. And also, it's grey, so it goes with all my non-black outfits. :)

Oh yeah! I forgot about this. So, I bought this top. And I have 7 days to return it if I want. I really liked it in the store, and I still really like it! I think the pattern is GORGEOUS, and I like the cut and all, but it's not QUITE perfect. Do you see how the collar pulls a little at the top? And even though it's tight at the top, the top part of it doesn't lay completely flat on my shoulders and sometimes looks like little wings. Also, it's a bubble top, so it's got like the tight band around the bottom, and since it's so tight on top and loose on bottom, I feel like it kind of gives the illusion that I get blobby as you go down. Now. It was about 9 euros. Do I keep it? I really really like it, but it's not perfect...What do you think?

Oh yeah, and I like the back, too.

Okay, so I feel like MAYBE that's the shallowest thing I've ever written, but I think it was fun. Yeah?? Anywho, I like my new clothes. Lemme know what you think!! Miss you guys! Wish you were here!
