Maybe not "elegant" exactly, but I did see some quite fashionably dressed people in your pics, Kerouac! I think they look better-dressed in their coats than they did in your last round of shots taken in the summer. But I follow your line of thought about the "typical" Paris dweller (I'm not trying to argue with you!  ) Thanks for taking the time to post this--I do enjoy seeing what people wear, regardless of whether or not I'm interested in emulating them! LOL

Happiness is realizing that your trip to Paris was even better than you had expected.

I agree with Annette. The winter attire looks a lot nicer than their summer attire, which looked kinda sloppy in many cases. Even though I dislike cold weather, there's something very chic about winter coats and boots. (BTW, boots are my favorite kind of footwear. )

I can't say everyone I saw on my first trip to Paris was chic, I will say after about a day and a half in my cute plaid keds and red hooded raincoat, I was happy to pick up a pair of dressier dark shoes and a wool wrap such as I saw a lot of the Parisiennes wearing. The keds and raincoat were quite fashionable in Dallas at that time, it was a year before the square toed wedgie mid-heels I got in Paris were all the rage here. I always assumed the less chic were tourists and foreigners like me. Granted into this, I stayed in the 20th and rode the subway early each morning with a bunch of people heading in to work. Naturally, they'd be at their best and most conservative for that.

Paris is a state of mind, and I am sure I left my mind in Paris, so we're all set, non? |

Oh Gertie, I didn't know you lived in Dallas. We lived there for 12 years and I still miss it! Lucky you
