Paris Day 1 - Through Rain and Sun

Still at the Musée d’Orsay, we saw that the sky got darker and darker and then started to rain heavily. Unfortunatelly the museum was closing at some point and we didn't have a new destination in mind. So we just walked towards the center of the city and shopped a bit until the rain stopped and then went to Galerie Lafayette, which is more a sight than a real mall, at least for us not-millionaires.

With the Arc de Triomph and Eiffeltower in mind, we then strolled along the Champs-Élysées, bought some snacks, took some photos at the triumphal arch and took a subway line to a station near the Eiffeltower. And in the dark it is always a spectacular place to be, when the tower starts sparkling every full hour. And luckily we bought a bottle of wine in advance to raise our glasses to our Paris trip.

Paris - Outfit Day 1 - Parisian Chic

Travelling and sightseeing vs. instagrammable outfits. Always a struggle. And I have told you many times before, the shoes are always the main problem, because when you walk for hours, there is no way you can wear high heels, which of course would make an outfit look instantly better (perfect). So if you see a blogger's outfitpics with high heels, who is on a citytrip, then she is just pretending to do sightseeing and 100% fake.(Or walks around with a bag of shoes in it to change). Because the high heels with which you can walk several kilometers still have to be invented. So always wear (white) sneakers or flat boots in neutral colours, because you can combine them easily with my traveloutfit-tip number 1: dresses! You don't have to think about combinations in the morning or have to change a hundred times to feel good (unless you have already styled your outfits at home and test-wore them (tip number2). But the easiest way is, to just put a dress on, your accessories and jewelry and that's it. And of course a backpack with a jacket and/or a warm knitpiece inside for the evening.

By the way, here we are on the terrace of the Musée d´Orsay with a view on the Seine, the Louvre and Jardin des Tuileries.
