The perfect look

While walking around Paris is easy to bump into the perfect look. A lot of it has to do with skinny girls in high heels and designer clothes.
Parisians are in general very concerned with beauty, looks and making everything that represents them flawless. Even fruit stands at the market look like designer boutiques here.

Last weekend I was walking around Rue du Bac. It was rainy and cold in a typical Parisian winter way, strollers were sporting fur coats and umbrella, high heels boots and skinny jeans.

A and I were sans umbrella, walking fast from one corner to the other when we saw this perfect example of effortless style. The girl in front of us was wearing simil-wellington boots, a not so special trench coat, a scarf and the ageless Chanel purse.

You judge.
P.S. Of course I am no sartorialist, so I didn't have the guts to stop the girl and ask her for a photo. Instead A and I followed her until we were close enough and not in need of a flash before taking a picture
