shevia, I gobbled up everything you wrote and what an extraordinary observer and writer you are. As a writer of haiku, I particularly loved that one comment.

Also, I really enjoyed #11, as others mentioned, and that was so well-stated by you, about one's "degree of self knowledge" and how that informs the way they are comfortable in their dress and movement (graceful, etc.). This sense of self in presentation is wonderful.

Tailored, neutral, practical and I'm wondering if there were more monochromatic themes rather than high contrast (top and bottom) to outfits.

Thank you for being our YLF woman on the streets of Paris. I could read your observations and insights any day of the week.

Vicki you are a gigantic sweetheart. Thank you for you lovely comment. Despite having not (yet) met you I have a strong suspicion that you embody exactly the grace of movement and being that I was trying to describe.
I didn't get the sense of a lot of monochrome specifically. It was the artful contrast in bag or shoe color that stands out in my mind. But not a lot of prints overall. When I have the chance I will try to post some pictures.

Very astute observations, Shevia. Thank you for sharing them!
