The One Jacket You Need for Paris
I got my first leather jacket as a gift which was a BCBG leather jacket. I wore it for years through the transitional seasons in Paris and it eventually ripped. I purchased a new one and it literally has traveled around the world with me. I wear my leather jacket as the weather transitions to Spring but isn’t quite warm enough until Summer hits. Then I will pick it back up as the nights get crisp and Fall begins. I will wear it until I have to surrender to a warmer coat in November.
If you are going to pack one jacket for Paris, a leather jacket is what you need.

For the little ones. Martiene (age 11) wanted to match me so I got her one for her birthday. I sized up so she would grow into it. It made it two years and was reasonably priced. She loved it!

Such great! & an informative article amazing post and great content. Thanks for sharing this article. Thanks Again!!
Thank you so much for your blogs, you have made me so comfortable about my trip to Paris this April.
I was terrified , reading about the language, what’s accepted, the difference in money, how I would be received as a tourist.
Being a black female I was going to push myself and overcome my fears and travel.
You have given me the push I needed , you let me know female’s no matter the color can be AMAZING.
Thank you so much.
That red dress is TDF! It looks fabulous with the black leather jacket!
Thank you so much, Edie! xo
