If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s this: I’ve got a real weakness for all things French. This didn’t just develop over the last few years either, when colorful macaroons became all trendy and stuff. Oh no, it dates way back to 9 years old when I begged my mom to get me a real black beret for Christmas (the one and only thing I wanted) and then I legit wore it every single day to 5th grade. (and yes I wore it like this.) My teacher must have thought I was such a weirdo. I also studied French in college, thinking that if I did it might result in a trip to Paris. (Still hasn’t happened. Ah, someday…) I adore French films, and I used to watch them without the subtitles, juuust to see if I could actually understand what they were saying. (Only sometimes) And now, I’ve put my 3 oldest littles in French class, because if you are going to learn a second language, it should be French. Obviously. So once upon a time, last Thursday when I drove over to drop them off at their first lesson, I accidentally did so wearing this sweater, and then when I realized it I thought what a giant nerd I must have looked like to their native speaking French teacher. Such a wanna be.
Can you say faux pas?

I LOVE this! Might I ask what size you ordered? I don’t feel like measuring myself to figure out the European equivalent to a small so I figured I would just guestimate based on what you are wearing lol
I ordered a size 2. It’s a roomy sweater, but that’s the smallest size they carry. ;-)
We are twins!!…..I love everything n anything French..always have!….I wore berets to school and i wore them just like in that pic…i had them in black, red n grey……i also studied French hoping i would end up in Paris next to the Eiffel tower…just like you it hasnt happened……..yet!!…i havent lost hope…i need this sweater!
I love all things French, was born in Montreal, studied French through University and went to France when I was 16 for 2 weeks. We are planning to take our 4 kids there next summer for a month while DH does 2 exchange courses to finish his MBA. It makes me giddy to think about it!!! Love your sweater
Your hair looks fabulous…and I love the lipstick!
I love all things French too! I’m now heading over to ASOS to put it on my cart!
I love your pants. Great choice.
Do you listen to French music at all? I love Carla Bruni’s music. Her new album is fun!
