I haven't been doing much shopping since I've moved, 1 because I'm broke and 2 is because clothes and shoes are expensive. My first week here, my roomate and I went out window shopping and I we stopped in this store called C & A. I was hesitant to walk in at first because the items in the window looked out of my price range. However, to my suprise, the clothes were actually pretty inexpensive. I purchased a faux leather jacket for 29€ (about $36) and the quality is great.
C&A is an international Dutch chain of fashion retail clothing stores, with its European head offices in Vilvoorde, Belgium, and Düsseldorf, Germany. It has retail stores in many European and Latin-American countries. If you ever near a C & A you should stop in.

I don't know if it was because I was moving here, but I had been seeing an inordinate amount of Paris themed items in stores before I moved. I wanted clothes (mainly tops) with Paris
written on them but I didn't want to look like a tourist so I decided
not to lol. See some cool Paris things I've come across while doing some online browsing. In the words of Audrey Hepburn, " Paris is always a good idea".

So I'm m moving to Paris! If you follow me on Instagram you may have already heard. I've always wanted to live in another country, so me and a friend applied to grad school in Paris and we got it.
We've been planning this for almost 2 years now and it's finally going to happen! I'm both anxious and excited. I'm mostly worried about how I'm going to fit my whole wardrobe in 2-3 suitcases, I'm having a panic attack just thinking about it lol. So over the next few months, I'll be purging my closet and adding things to our Poshmark closet. I will be blogging a lot more on how I prepare for my move to the City of Lights, the frugal way of course.
