When I lived in America I was never one for fashion statements. I just wore jeans and semi-nice tops, nothing to write home about (so to speak hehe).
I came to France to study abroad in the fall of 2001 and my concept of fashion was given a jump start (grâce à Air France) when my luggage didn't turn up and I had to buy all new clothes.
I even dared to buy things I never would have worn before: tight-ass-french-pants! scarves!
My world did indeed change, but I still never thought of myself as having amazing fashion sense.
This changed this week. This week I was complimented on my clothes three times! Yes, count them 3 times! All by frenchies!! Those pigs have flown!
Granted like all stereotypes the French are not all pefectly in tune with fashion, there are some horrible trends out there, but the 3 people that complimented me are all people that I look at as having really nice clothes and unique styles.

Ahh thats sweet.
I often get complimentedon my 'French' dress sense now...
but never about my English accent (lol) after nearly 13 years here I still get called Jane Birkin !!
Can you post pictures of one or two of these outfits? I'm jealous, I'd never pass for a French girl.
i'm not saying i'd pass for french but i just got complimented on my clothes thats all. :) granted they were clothes (except 1 pair of gap pants) that i had bought in france but still...
i'll try to find some pics... let me think...
