I’m honestly starting to get the impression that being a French woman means putting 100% of your energy into being the sexiest woman in the room but then pretending you don’t try at all

“It’s nice to have a bag that doesn’t scream designer” well I have a wardrobe full of clothes that don’t even whisper designer





(Y’all it makes me so happy that I made you laugh 💖)

French way: go to the gym and tell no one
American way: wear gym gear all day and tell everyone how you have to work out today, but never actually go

The French: putting so much effort into looking effortless

"It's important to try and mend the things that you love rather than automatically trying to replace them." This woman is speaking TRUTH.

I love what Camielle said about french girls finding what suits them, their body, and what they like and dressing according to that. Not following trends but buying staple pieces that will fit your wardrobe and last a long time. I really love that. Fast fashion has ruined our sense of style. Some people only buy a piece because it's "trendy" then the trend passes and they forget about that item and throw it out and the cycle continues with the next trend...

"You don't wanna look like a plastic doll. You don't wanna look like a filter."
PREACH.

I'm so glad that someone finally confirmed the fact that jeans that look fabulous on you are not comfortable!

"Buyings things to put in your wardrobe to keep forever."
So I'm not a hoarder, just French. Cool

“Dress me like one of your French girls”

I lived 2 years in Paris and I used to observe a lot in the metro their outfit. I noticed that blue, beige and grey were the colors most used to dress, no patterns, only simple color. So simple and stylish at the same time. It is the opposite of us Italians. We like be noticed by accessories or colors. I prefer the French Style

[cecilyerker]

I do like that she said physical imperfections are OK and even desirable because you don’t want to look like a plastic doll. Pretty refreshing in a Facetuned era ruled by the Kardashians and Jenners.

I am so tired of this idea of the French Girl. What you are talking about is the white, skinny, model-like type of Parisian that is in no way common in France apart from a few streets in Paris. Truth is, France is diverse, the average woman is not a size 0 and French society is advanced enough so that women don't spend their whole life wondering whether their clothes please men. I understand that this vision feeds some sort of vision or fantasy of France, but please look around you when you visit, take the subway or even better get out of Paris

„Your sweater is too big, loud and colourful”
“That sweater is big tho!”
“Yeah, but it’s chic”

[susanlam]

“It’s important to try and mend the things you love than replace them”....LOVE THAT

[BronwynAlexandriaa]

I love how they are like actual friends; talking over each other, interrupting each other, not listening, the little laughs. I love it

[alizeejeanjacques]

i love alexa when she’s like “oh i haven’t got any knickers on” and the blonde girl is like me too, and alexa is just like “i do with massive hearts on them “
