This week I have had the fortune to accompany my mum on a river cruise up the Rhone. Lucky me. We are currently spending a couple of days in Lyon which is a lovely city.
I have been amazed at the styles and choice of dress of most of the American and British cruise goers. The Britsh seem to commit the worst sins dress- wise; think socks, sandals , shirts and shorts in unpleasant and garish patterns and materials. Tight belted and ill fitting clothes with flabby overhang.
I have noticed how very differently the French women dress , they just look chic, just, different. I passed a woman in the street yesterday who look amazing. She only had a simple dress on, but it was styled with a belt I would never have chosen and her hair was all swishy and she sort of sashed along the road with a smile on her face.
Older women look fabulous on the whole too. I am 48 so count myself in the older woman category.
Sadly we leave tomorrow afternoon. I shall make another foray into the huge shopping mall in an attempt to arm myself with some French style.
Is it possible to have a bit of je ne sais quoi in old Blighty? I would love to have a bit of what these French women seem to have.
