Welcome back to America. American Fashion truly is something worth noting.
I've found a couple of fabulous American clothing brands that I cannot get enough of. There really is an importance to how you dress, how you regard yourself, and how you want others to perceive you.
That is why I want to dress well at least.

Oh. And beaucoup hommes français look like Ryan Gosling in Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Les mêmes shoes, les mêmes sexy suit, les mêmes suave...
I love Paris

Sigh... Twiggy.
1960s had it so good.
I sound like Owen Wilson in Midnight in Paris.
But really.

Other observations:
Walk like you have a purpose
Have a pleasant countenance, but never smile
(exceptions of course)
Being in great shape and having great skin is always in style
Simple, timeless jewelry
Mixing neutrals is a DO

I have never been so artistically inspired in my life. Creativity takes a new turn when you are in a city like Paris. Fashion also takes a turn. Major turn. It has a presence, almost an identity in society. Which I LOVE. It only consumes those who blindly fall for it, but it can inspire like few other things.
Dear REAL fashion: welcome to my life. I will try to do you justice.
