I've been a big fan of the double-denim look for the last year or two, and have been especially smitten with a few recent looks incorporating wide leg jeans, so I was especially excited to get back this great chambray shirt in my recent bunch of clothes from home. While Chris wasn't too crazy about my Canadian tuxedo (when I ask him what he thinks of my outfit, getting a silent half-smile does not mean good things), I absolutely loved it - it was the perfect outfit for our last day in Paris, a day of frantic packing and cleaning followed by an incroyable dinner out (confit de canard avec aligot - my arteries do not thank me, but my tastebuds sure did) and an awesome, cheesily romantic trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower at dusk.
I already tweeted about this earlier, but my little blog seems to be on a bit of a hot streak today - one of my photos popped up on WearColor (one of my absolute favorite tumblrs, courtesy of Mallory of Where the Lovely Things Are), Tania gave my milkmaid braid tutorial a shout-out over on What Would a Nerd Wear, and the other emily officially hit 500 followers! It really does mean so, so much to me that you guys take the time to stop by my blog (and sometimes even say hi!), so thank you. And although we're still reeling a bit from our most recent move, I hope to get back to answering all your lovely comments (and letting you in on where we are now!) by tomorrow.

Ooooh, I can't wait to see where you are now! I love following your travels (and it's one of the reasons I follow your blog!). I also love your take on double denim!
congrats on 500! it must be a combination of interesting hook (travel + limited wardrobe) and the fun, intelligent, vibrant young gal you project over teh interwebz! 8-)
i've been meaning to email you; will have to get on that!

congrats on all the mentions around the web! i found your blog a few weeks ago. i love your outfits and seeing pieces of the amazing cities you're travelling to is icing on the cake. :)
Congratulations on everything! Like the other commenters, I always look forward to reading your blog. It makes me want to dress well and plan my next trip to Europe at the same time.
I've never heard of the term canadian tuxedo before but it gave me a laugh. i think you do the tuxedo quite well!!
super high fives lady!!! I'm super stoked to have found your blog (it is seriously inspirational, not to be all mushy about it)!!! I just got into the whole pinterest thing and you are following one of my boards now... what a strange & neat place the interweb can be.
Good luck on your next adventure!
Love the denim on denim! And your blog layout is a breath of fresh air!
i love this look, and I think it's rather Parisian in its own way. Good luck on your next set of travels!
Aw, thanks Laurel, that is so flattering. :)
Haha, well I hope our new location isn't too much of a letdown - it's not particularly exotic, but it does mean I'll have a much-expanded wardrobe for the next month!
Fun, intelligent and vibrant? Now you've got me even pinker than I usually am. :) And I'll be looking forward to your email!
I love it too - must be my Texas/Oklahoma roots showing. :)
And thank you - many, many, many of my readers have come by way of WWANW, so I think you deserve a big chunk of credit for that 5-0-0.
Thanks Katie, and welcome!
Thanks Emily - and I think you should definitely spend some well-dressed time planning your next trip, the two go hand-in-hand as far as I'm concerned. :)
I've also heard it called a Texas Tuxedo, but I wouldn't want to offend 80% of my relatives by using that term - although I did catch my dad rocking the double denim the other day....
Hee, thank you! Mushiness is always welcome here too.
And I just can't get over how much I'm loving Pinterest - I've been introduced to SO many awesome people through that site, now I can't even imagine the internet without it!
ha, i doubt it!!! you are so rad on your own, you need none of my help. i
love all your outfits and i too look forward to your posts--not only because
you dress the way i wish i dressed or for your adventures, but because your
intellect and sharp wit come through at every turn.
Thanks Elaine! And thank you especially for your sweet comment on my layout - it was a huge struggle getting it to work, so it means all the more to me now. :)

Thank you! It does have that simplicity thing going, which the French just love - and of course, wearing a bun never hurt!

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your article seem to be running off
the screen in Opera.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I'd
post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon.
Cheers
