I couldn't wait to post this outfit. I've shared all of my looks from New York, and London was next on the list. But as soon as I saw this batch of photos, it took me right back to the moment of standing over the Seine, dramatic wind flowing through the trees, and saying goodbye to the Eiffel Tower before heading home.

One of the Frenchwoman's staples is a bright red lip, and I hadn't had a chance to wear it during our trip because let's be real...we were eating every 10 minutes, and eating with red lipstick on is not the most convenient situation. We had just one show on our last day, so I went for it, and I loved how it amped up this delicate printed button-up with a seasonally-appropriate skirt that kind of surprised me. I'm not big on skirts, but the short length was perfect for the end of summer while the fuzzy shearling hinted at the coming cold of fall and winter. Molly Bracken has become one of my favorite autumn/winter brands lately—and it was truly a special moment getting to wear this whimsical French label on my first ever trip to Paris.
