Obsessions include sandy hues, French statement doors and combinations thereof… 🤎 I read an article recently that postulated the need to get rid of the Parisienne trope, describing it as racist and misogynistic, ableist and a couple of other unpleasant things. The author wasn’t wrong, exactly, but for me she missed the point of what aspiring to be Parisienne is all about. Yes, there is a certain physical look associated with Parisian style, but I haven’t spent a lifetime trying to change my body to fit that mold. I aspire to Parisian effortlessness - to embracing my messy natural hair, to facing the world with no more make-up than a swipe of mascara and doing so confidently, to wearing what I please with no thought to what others might have to say about it. That, to me, is being Parisian. And it’s a worthy aspiration ✨ beret | @asos trench and dress | @mango boots | @rouje bag | @sezane sunglasses | @rayban #lestyleàlafrançaise #howtobeparisienne #candvamarseille (at Marseille, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcIZQZcL5Io/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
