You Can Fight The Fire That's Inside Your Head

Top:H&M
Skirt: Topshop
Socks: ASOS
Shoes: Urban Outfitters
Cardigan: H&M
Rucksack: ASOS



Another thing I learnt from France was men will stare at you unashamedly if you wear knee high socks. This didn't stop me though and even wore them again on the trip. Day two in Toulouse was lovely and warm so out came the legs. I liked the decidedly 60s vibe to this outfit and it was perfect for a day of wandering, shopping and relaxing by the river in the sunshine.
Toulouse is quite a small city, despite being the fourth largest in France, and was strangely devoid of any tourists. We didn't see a single shop selling berets, much to my dismay, and most people only spoke miniscule english, if at all. This gave us a chance to flex our french conversational skills which led to many red cheeks when we forgot what we were meant to be saying half way through a sentence.
We found this wonderful carousel in one the squares that scattered Toulouse. We let go of any inhibitions and posed proudly in front of it, followed by more posing by a fountain and later even more posing on the Pont Neuf. I got my new camera just before leaving, literally two days before, so I was eager to try it out at every chance. I'm hoping to put together a little video from all the clips I shot so you'll hopefully have a nice french adventure sometime soon!

I love the skirt and top combo! The hem on the shirt makes it great.
