If you're looking for some civility today, turn your attention to Paris, where Fashion Week is underway, and attendees are putting on an elegant and refined show! Lighting up center stage: statement jackets, sophisticated denim, vibrant, sumptuous textures and boots galore. I'd like to import some of these elevated elements into my everyday, in the hopes of making everything else look LESS like, shall we say, a shit show. What say you? How about this Chanel-inspired jean jacket (OBSESSED) or , these chic versatile boots, this well-priced Coco-spirited quilted bag, this crisp pencil skirt, this gorgeously feminine lace dress, and these Parisian-pristine jeans.
