Navy Pleats in Paris

02/09/18 | Fashion Friday, France, French Connection, J Crew, Paris

Navy Pleats in Paris 08

While in Paris I had the chance to shoot with a professional photographer and since what I really wanted was the iconic photo on the stairs by the Eiffel Tower that is what I made sure I got but today is not that post. 🙂  Instead I wanted to share with you a handful of amazing shots we were able  to capture at the Lourve. 

You may recall seeing this skirt in my Best Outfits of 2017 post in December and it is back again in all if it’s navy and pleated glory! I brought it to Paris along with everything else in this outfit except this gorgeous red bag. I have had my eye on this Gucci SohoDisco Bag for over a year and knew when I went to France not only would the exchange rate be in my favor but when Americans shop in the European Union they get the 14% VAT tax included in the price of the product back.  Therefore it made it a bit more reasonable but it was definitely an investment purchase and my first desginer handbag – I am in love!

    Wow, he did a great job and it looks like you had soooo much fun doing it. Those dimples in a couple of the shots are crazy. Congrats on your first designer bag. I have a feeling that it will not be your last.
