Above is Marissa’s crowd-pleasing Pinterest look (Sézane jeans, a simple white blouse, and pumps from Iris & Ink), and below we pinpoint the reason it’s so powerful.
THE HAIR AND MAKEUP: Done but not “done,” Marissa’s polished look feels approachable but still a little bit special. Red lipstick is a French-girl favorite, but everyone everywhere feels good in it, right?
THE CHAIN NECKLACE: Dainty and personal but noticeable enough to glint away from afar, simple gold pendants are the jewelry gift that keeps on giving these days.
THE BLOUSE: A little bit frou-frou with its frilly collar and blouson sleeves, Marissa’s top ticks so many easy-to-wear boxes thanks to its flattering slim-cut silhouette you can tuck into jeans without bulk.
THE JEANS: “They have since become the foundation of my wardrobe, and I’ve lost count of how many I have! A high-waisted pair of jeans with a straight leg or slight flair is much more flattering and will balance out wider hips than slimmer styles,” Marissa told us. These are a perfect example of that. Relaxed but not scruffy or loose, and with a point of difference thanks to the popper waistband, they are the ultimate denim find.
THE SHOES: Why are the jeans so fabulous? Well, they even look good with kitten heels. Iconic French women are known for favoring low and flat heels over high (such a casual footwear choice always looks like smidgen cooler), and the modern V-neck cut always lengthens legs.
THE FLOWERS: Doesn’t get more “living the good life in Paris” than a freshly cut bouquet.
THE APARTMENT: The Parisian rooftops, the decorative iron railings, the cheese plant, the voile curtains—everything about this screams Sunday morning dreamland.
