From the
Trianon Health and Beauty Blog:
The second French beauty tip I noticed after moving to France was
that Parisian woman are not thoroughly put together like some of us
Americans. Save for the rather aristocratic ladies who wear matching
designer suits, scarves, bags and shoes, most French women mix and
match to achieve an effortless look. This advice, ironically enough,
comes straight from Chanel herself. She once said, "Before you leave
the house, take one accessory off your body." This is a fine line.
Simplistic elegance is the key – but so is accessorizing:
- For those of you who never put on a necklace or a belt, or
have worn the same studs in your ears everyday for the last few years,
think about introducing a long strand of pearls with a navy blazer, tee
and jeans.
- For those of you who align yourselves more with Elizabeth Taylor, try focusing on one main eye-attracting accessory at a time.
- If you've got gorgeous earrings, leave the necklace at home.
- If you have a busy patterned dress, forgo other accessories except for perhaps a few bangles.
- Less is more. (Read more.)
