What Does A Marie Claire Editor Pack For Paris

Packing for Paris is a joyous experience. Jetlag after from flying back from Paris is not so delightful.

You pay for having a good time in Paris. For escaping the dreary cold winter and being one of those annoying people prancing around Europe in the sunshine, while everyone else rummages through their closet, trying to find a jumper they didn’t shrink in the wash last winter.

I’m back now, but packing for my trip was a lovely pause from knits and socks and scarves and all the woollies that I’m now living in.

I ditched the black and went for lots of colour. I packed Mary-Jane flats from & Other Stories and cute linen from Oroton and a bright red suit from Rebecca Vallance that makes all other suits look inferior.

I packed H&M jeans and a new ESSE dress that feels very fancy, especially when worn in Paris.
