Life in France

stripedT
In case you couldn't tell from my roadtrip daydreams, I have had a serious case of wanderlust lately. It isn't that I want a vacation, exactly. I don't want to relax, I want to pack my bags and explore a place I've never visited before.

The first place on my imaginary itinerary would be France, as evidenced by my recent fascination with stripes. I've never been to Europe and I would love nothing more than to go wander around aimlessly wearing a striped boatneck dress, perfect ballerina flats, and a suitcase filled with scarves (the only accessory necessary in France, at least in my eyes).

Seriously, I've woken up the past five days and reached straight for stripes. They make me feel like one of the cool Parisian girls who pop up on Garance Dore, even if my daily plans are not quite so glamorous.

Only time will tell how long this phase will last, but who knows? Maybe I'll continue wearing stripes until my travel bug subsides.
