At home I was never big on accessories. I always felt kind of ridiculous in them, or that I just simply wasn’t a person who could pull them off. I have necklaces I never take off, and occasionally will wear a belt, but that’s about all I stick to while at home. While being in Paris something I’ve noticed is that hair pieces are so much bigger here. Whether it’s a small ribbon in your hair, a headband, or a head scarf, they are everywhere and they make such a difference. So, one of the first things I did once I got here, was by my own leopard hair piece from Bershka, pictured below.
As a girl who loves to wear black pretty much over any color, I find that hair pieces change the game. Suddenly, a simply black outfit is elevated. Did you wear black jeans and a black turtleneck and black boots again? Don’t worry, just add a hair ribbon and your life is changed. I think one of the things that has inspired me most while I’ve been here is accessorizing. French fashion is definitely made up by the small things. It’s the way that French people put themselves together that makes the difference. A hat, a scarf, a belt, a necklace- it all combines to really makes a look, not just an outfit. So in conclusion, YOU CAN PULL OFF THAT HAIR BAND WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE BLAIR WALDORF, AND YOU SHOULD. Be bold and go try things you never thought you would, because you’ll end up loving it.
Till next time,
Dina
