french_2413103bGiven that a French woman is the epitome of style, we have put together a list of must haves so that we can begin to think and look like a “woman of an uncertain age” as the French call grown-up women. With this simple wardrobe adjustment, we might get whisked away to a Paris café and pass as one of their own:

Beautiful silk scarf – tied under your chin

Tortoise shell sun glasses – over sized

Trenchcoat in a light tan/belted

A boyfriend-style crisp white shirt,

A pair of slim pants (decidedly not skinny jeans)

Unadorned ballerina flats in black
