Even though I had generously provisioned myself with a pain au chocolat to go with my yogurt for breakfast (approximate calorie count: 1000) I was pretty well wrung out after the climb and needed to reboot the calories. Luckily we were only a few blocks from Berthillon, probably Paris's most famous ice cream maker. I got a double cone--caramel with salt and butter and strawberry gelato. They were divine. I couldn't stop eating long enough to have my picture taken.
When packing, I was debating a little whether to actually include the eyelet BWOF skirt. I like it, but it doesn't look great with the Simplicity yoked top and having a skirt that matches only one top (the 1935 reissue) is kind of pointless. I dug deep into my closet and produced this top, from my UFO Watch 2008 project. It was perfect for the theme and looked great with the skirt. This was the first time I'd had a chance to wear it. Note that the way I posed made it snow down south. Oops.

You sound like you are having a lot of fun in Paris. The weather looks great too, even that snow. LOL!
Your clothes look wonderful too. I'm sure you fit right in with the women in Paris.
Lovely! it's so nice to read your blogposts because you are combining sewing and travel, two passions of mine that I have not been able to spend enough time on. This is a great/enjoyable distraction from work, I appreciate your sharing!
You really are making me jealous...I want to be in Paris!
I have loved watching you visit some of my favorite spots and truly enjoy seeing you model your new wardrobe in such a stylish city! We are going to Paris in September and I can't wait to see these fabulous spots again! Enjoy every moment of your trip :>)
