5 Timeless French-Girl Pieces To Invest In Guys, I have a confession to make: I’m still not sure I’ve determined what my ‘personal style’ actually is. This could speak directly to my indecisive nature in general or my unwillingness to put myself into a box. One day I feel like channelling Carmela Soprano, the next I derive my inspiration from 80s aerobics clips. A week later, all I’ll want to wear is jeans and a t-shirt. The road to figuring out my style is a long and bendy one with many disparate pit stops. I suspect it’s also because I simply can’t help myself when it comes to jumping on trends (whoops!), or making erratic, fun vintage purchases that are great standalone, but that don’t really make sense in the context of my wardrobe. It’s a jungle in there, let me tell you. The antidote for this affliction is spying what the galz in France are up to. Now, there’s a nation of stylish women who understand the benefits of a capsule wardrobe.
