What I Wore in Paris

And how I would modify my packing list if I could go back.

Mar 30, 2025

I spent the past week in Paris with 3 girlfriends of mine to celebrate one of their birthdays. It was such an incredible time and I loved having so many days to walk around, explore and eat our way through the city.

I packed more than I really needed for a couple of reasons — 1. The weather forecast was all over the place, and 2. we didn’t have many firm plans, so I wanted to maximize my options. First up, let me share what I decided to wear. After that, I’ll let you know what I feel like I could’ve easily left behind.

DAY 1

This trench was my first vintage find of the trip. Planning to sell it in my shop, but I did test wear it a few times. It’s great!!

DAY 2

The tank I wore is still 15% off through Sunday with code PARISNB. I wear my smaller size and feel like it’s the perfect amount of crop — pairs perfectly with baggy jeans or trousers.

Outfit links. PSA: The loafer charms are back in stock next week!

Changed for dinner, but it ended up being SO WARM in the restaurant I kind of regretted it. Still love this outfit, though.

DAY 3

Took the cream Sera Crescent Bag sample for a test run! Full outfit details here.

Found an extremely cool suede jacket at the flea market and instantly changed into it.

DAY 4

Nothing better than a great outfit & a baguette your bag. Outfit details here.

Belt is available for preorder — I’m wearing the chocolate suede! Outfit details here.

It was a really wet day up at Montmartre, so when we got back I changed into my socks, comfy boots and a warm coat.

DAY 5

This vintage coat won me over IMMEDIATELY. Major Toteme vibes. I linked the one I’m referring to in the outfit links.

DAY 6

Maybe my favorite photo from the trip. Here are the details!

Also wore it for dinner at the Ralph Lauren restaurant — great for day or night.

DAY 7

Outfit details here, including link to similar coat. PARISNB is valid on the tee for 15% off right now.

White tee is also 15% off with PARISNB through Sunday.

The double French pin is my new go-to — like twisting hair up into a claw clip, but a lot more elevated (and takes up less space in my bag)

Now, what would I have left out of my bag if I could go back (not because I don’t love them, but because they didn’t end up being necessary for what we did and what the weather turned out to be)…

Long sleeved shirts — my short sleeves and tanks were sufficient
Block heeled boots — only wore them once, and didn’t really need to
High top sneakers — didn’t wear them at all, shockingly!
Black cashmere sweater — only wore it one day, and easily could’ve worn an alternate sweater.
Trench coat — I only wore it one day because we absolutely scored in the vintage shopping department.

I knew we would be doing some vintage shopping because I was with Karla, who is a vintage reseller, but I didn’t think I’d find so many things that would be great for San Diego that I could have available in my shop. I brought back 5 denim jackets and 5-10 lightweight trench coats!

If you’d like me to share a loose itinerary, including where we ate & shopped, leave a comment below and let me know!
