What Parisians are Wearing

 Petticoats on the outside is one of the hot looks this summer in Paris

 The lacier the better

 Seen from the #61 bus

 The lacy jupe/skirt is usually worn over leggings

 Are these a take-off on traditional French boy's school smocks?

 Certainly Le Bon Marche is taking a page out of the school smock look plus a generous helping of writer Colette's Claudine at School.

A side note- I always wished my mother had named me 'Claudine'instead of after a visitor to her hospital room since I did not turn out to be a 'Charles'

c'est la vie

 Guerlain showed a frou-frou jupe for their new perfume, La Petit Robe Noire promotion coming at last to the US this Fall. Hooray

 Another reference for the frilly, lacy short jupe could be Repetto'senticing windows - letting us relive our ballerina dreams over and over

 A ruffly Carmen Miranda version in Galeries Lafayette

 Au Moulin Rose would like you to go ruffly all the way...

 One of Paris' best loved pink ruffles sits on the divine Ispahan by Pierre Herme, copied many times over but never the same.

 An inedible ruffle on Christine Ferber's confiture at Pierre Herme, just as delicious no?

 Totally edible, these ruffles made of macarons at Angelina

Me, I'm happy to keep my petticoats well-hidden while getting my toes wet preferably at Nice or Antibes s'il vous plait...
