Location: Place de la Nation, Paris

I have always wanted a matching suit so this super sixties/seventies skirt and blazer combo from MOTEL ROCKS* seemed like the perfect way to kick off Paris Fashion Week. The pattern is just beautiful, original and very vintage-inspired, which is probably why I was so drawn to it in the first place. It's corduroy too, which is a must-have material for your wardrobe this season. In keeping with the sixties/seventies style, I wore a simple black high neck top underneath and modernised the look a bit with some Docs. 

Let's talk about sizing for a minute. I would advise sizing up for the blazer and maybe even sizing down for the skirt, but that's just me (hopefully I do not have an extremely unusual body shape and that this advice helps you guys). 

These photos were taken by super talent French blogger GISELE with whom I have collaborated before on her CHALLENGE 150 post. I loved her photos for our previous shoot so I just had to ask her to take some outfit photos for me whilst I was back in Paris for the weekend. 



Ça fait longtemps que je cherche une costume stylée, du coup quand j'ai vu cette tenue veste et jupe super années 60s/70s par MOTEL ROCKS*, je savais qu'elle serait parfaite pour commencer Fashion Week de Paris. Le motif est trop beau, original et inspiré de vintage ce qui est la raison pour laquelle je le kiffe trop, j'imagine. La costume est fabriquée en velours côtelé ce qui est un matière must-have dans votre placard cette saison. En gardant le style d'années 60s/70s, j'ai mis un top simple et noir avec un col haut et j'ai modernisé un peu le look en mettant mes chaussures Dr Martens. 

On parle de la taille maintenant. Je vous conseille de prendre une plus grande taille pour la veste et peut-être même une plus petite taille pour la jupe, mais cela c'est moi (j'espère que je n'ai pas une forme bizarre et que ces conseilles marchent pour vous aussi!). 

Pour ces photos, j'avais demandé à la bloggeuse française super douée, GISELE, à me prendre en photo. Nous avons déjà collaboré pour son blog pour sa série CHALLENGE 150 et j'avais trop aimé ses photos du coup il fallait faire des shoots avec elle quand j'étais à Paris pour le weekend.
