Inspired by French Street Style.

I have been vacillating between opposite ends of the fashion spectrum lately, either wearing bold blockprints and busy florals or minimalist black and white. Today, I’m feeling the latter, inspired by French street style starlets and their je ne sais quoi. I had a little pocket of free time this afternoon and was torn between wanting to finish my novel or play around with outfit planning for my trip to New York. I sat down at my desk and started putting together outfits inspired by some street style photos I’d pinned. I was delighted to discover I could emulate many of these fashion moments with inexpensive finds, many of which I already own…

LOOK 1: WHITE TEE (MY FAVORITE — DETAILS HERE) // GAP JEANS // JEFFREY CAMPBELL FLATS (I BELIEVE HERS ARE CHANEL) // AMAZON BAG (HERS IS CELINE)

LOOK 2: BLACK TEE // DENIM SHORTS // FRENCH SOLE SANDALS // MARNI TRUNK BAG

LOOK 3: BANANA REPUBLIC TOP // DILLARDS PANTS // KAYU TOTE // FRENCH SOLE SANDALS

I also put together a more general “Parisian-street-style-inspired” board below. Simple shapes, clean lines, tailored details. I want to specifically call out this under-$175 taupe jumpsuit — it looks like it could be Isabel Marant! I also shared a fabulous denim jumpsuit below from Mother, but you can get the look for less with this $59 score at Madewell.
