Look Sharp, Sconnie - Midwestern Fashion Nerd, Chronic Over-thinker

Disney Princess Pretending.

Oftentimes (read: everyday) I like to pretend that I'm a Disney princess trapped inside a disparagingly less photogenic world. 
Typically, this consists of make-believing that my car is my sturdy canoe, and that my backyard oak tree is in fact Grandmother Willow. 

Yesterday, however, I was itching for a new song. 

I don't know whether it was prompted by the change in scenery, the loss of my beloved technological companion (I may as well have lost a child), or the wee addition to my outfit that I like to call a "Jasmine peak", but . . .

OK. Yeah I do.
It was totally the Jasmine peak. 

But my location didn't exactly hurt either. 
 
So think of this post as a little tale unto itself. 
Non-princess girl journeys from the slowly-gentrifying French neighborhood in which she begins, 
to the bonifide stomping grounds of the Parisian upper crust. 

All while wearing combat boots. 

It's a whole new world, baby. 
Only one thing missing. 
I'll see if you can guess.
It rhymes with Baladdin. 

Cheers.

    I absolutely LOVE these photos! Your shoes are just perfect!! And re: the vintage fair- I managed to pick up a few cool things but vintage things are always soooo overpriced in LA!!! I've only been to France one time- when I visited Paris in 2007. I would love to come again, but I have so many other places I want/need to see also! ;)

    I enjoy reading your blog posts, they're funny! Are you just in Paris for vacation? You should do some type of Paris guide when you get back. I'm going next month and could use some recommendations.

    "while wearing combat boots" has become my new "and then i found five dollars". and i mean that in the best way possible. it makes every story that much better.
