friday - outdoor concert
I riffled through my little closet over and over again. What does one wear to an outdoor concert for their first real event in Paris? I had to turn heads, but I also needed to be dressed appropriately. I wanted people to notice me, but for all the right reasons, not because I was dressed like a freak. I sighed, and, realizing a bright idea wasn't, in fact, just going to fall from the ceiling, I opened up my computer. I already knew exactly what was on the French runways, but what about street style? Eventually I returned to my closet, and pulled a couple outfits out. I tried each on, and, the way I had done since freshman year, imagined all the possible wardrobe malfunctions or problems that I may encounter. I settled on a slouchy gray shirt, black 'leather' pants, and booties. It was casual, but not lazy, and more importantly, it showed that I was comfortable in my surroundings. No one wanted to look like a scared puppy in their new surroundings.
I left the hotel with a smile on my face. Although I knew less than no one, I was living in Paris. This was literally a dream come true! I had been wanting to do this since my junior year in high school, and I was finally living out my dream. I got to the concert right as it was starting. The music was awesome, the noise was deafening, and everyone was stunning. I noticed, with a fair amount of satisfaction, that I was dressed appropriately, and admittedly, better than more than a few people there.
After the party, I strolled around the popidu center a little. I saw gaggles of teenage girls, adorable couples, and busy businesspeople hurrying about. I had to fight my tourist-esque desire to pull out my Nikon and photograph absolutely everything. It was all so, perfect!
Paris, I love you.
