I see red and white

  Whenever I travel to a city, one of the first things I notice, of course, is what people are wearing.  In May of 2007 I traveled to Paris with my husband.  One of the major trends, specifically with the younger generation (those in their mid twenties) was wearing black and white horizontal striped, over sized tops, with skinny jeans and ballet flats.  Two to three years later, you see everyone sporting the striped tops and skinny jeans here in the states.

  So last year I read that one of the winter trends Parisians were donning was red and white.  The fashion reporter, (I don't remember the web site I got this from, sorry) said that all the women were wearing scarlet red scarves, red nail polish and white sweaters.  My prediction is that this winter people will be doing the same.

I went through my web-closet and put together an outfit that would fit right in on the Champs Elysees scene.
