The Basics: Posture

Irish time: 10:17am | Paris time: 11:17am
Have you ever seen a Parisienne walking? Just walking.
Everything about them exudes confidence without seeming cocky.
Everyone automatically assumes that I'm talking about their shoulders and their posture which I guess I am but I've noticed something else. I don't know what to think about it or even if I like it.
French women turn their feet slightly outwards as they walk. I personally think it looks a bit masculine and uncomfortable, but the majority of them do it and it seems to be working for them.
They walk with their shoulders back and their chests out but never in a slutty, in-your-face way. Their backs are straight and they constantly walk with purpose, never second guessing themselves.
I think that's the key to Parisian women though, whether it's walking or anything at all. They never second guess themselves.

Introductions.

Irish time: 12:09am | Paris time: 1:09am

This is my third attempt at starting a blog. But I have a good feeling about this one, I've finally realised what I want to write about. Having arrived home to Ireland from my third trip to Paris only two days ago and having not being able to stop thinking about it, or planning the next time I can escape back there, I decided writing about it could be just as satisfying. So far I think I'm right, the words are actually coming.

I'm sitting here in bed next to my Bible, "How to be Parisian, wherever you are". I have two copies of this book. One bought for me by my parents and the other by a friend. I've no idea if it's a book of clichés or if it's accurate to Parisian women so that's the goal with this blog. To find out how to be a Parisienne so they won't even notice I'm not one of them the next time I get there.
