Count me among the people who firmly believe in the philosophy behind this famous Audrey Hepburn quote: Paris is always a good idea. I've visited the City of Lights too many times to count—starting as a 13-year-old foreign exchange student and most recently in April of this year—but when I got an opportunity to join my partner on his work trip in early October, of course I took it. (The free hotel room didn't hurt.) Now, while Paris certainly has its challenges—record-breaking heat earlier this summer, current political demonstrations—it more than makes up for it in cinematic views, exquisite light, rich culture, and the best shopping on the planet. We happened to be there during Fashion Week, so the people-watching was off the charts pretty much everywhere we went. And while I doubt I ended up in any street-style roundups, at least one of my outfits garnered several compliments from real-life Parisians. I'll take that as a win! Here's what I wore in Paris in October.
