Fashion: Paris, je t’aime

I can’t believe it is already Monday! This week is going to fly by as I’m looking forward to a big trip this weekend – our four year wedding anniversary in Paris!

We have a number of plans while we’re in the city including the Eiffel Tower, Rodin Museum, Musee d’Orsay, an 8 mile running tour through the city with Paris Running tours, and a special dinner on Saturday night at Lasserre. It will be a weekend to remember, that is for sure!

In honor of the trip, I thought I’d share what I plan to wear Saturday night for our celebratory dinner. I tend to be more comfortable wearing skinny, dark jeans and sparkly tank tops out on the town, but in honor of Paris and the romantic backdrop, I decided to go a bit more glam this weekend.

    I’m sorry, but $400 for a dress? A boutique fitness class that is expensive “even for you”?

    Naming the prices of your expenses can be very alienating to readers who cannot afford the same luxuries. You should be very proud of your success but there is a way to be modest about the details.

      Thank you Jenny for the feedback. I read a few fashion blogs and they tend to put the information on their hence the reason I chose that route. Next time I’ll just put the link.

      I disagree and I like seeing the price right on the post so I don’t have to click over to see the price. I don’t think it’s a big deal. If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it. I wouldn’t spend $400 on a dress but I’m not the one buying it so who cares? 🙂
