sounds good. your knit pantsuit might work OK for something to wear around the hotel room. i like to pack one outfit to relax in.

jeans fine, but I wouldn't wear a velour jumpsuit around in public in a big city, anywhere. I think that kind of outfit is only appropriate for casual errands at home, going to the gym, or perhaps in a really casual, resort city. I wouldn't feel comfortable at all wearing that in public in any capital city, but to be honest, if you want to wear that in the daytime to go to the Eiffel Tower and just tourist things like that, I'm sure you won't be the only one.

Ok , ok that's final i'm not bringing the j-lo outfit, Jeans and dress pants are the outfits for me. Thanks for your input.

Also dont forget to bring a small umbrella, a jacket,a scarf and at least a sweater..Paris in April can be quite cool and the weather can be very unreliable.
Bon Voyage , I will be in Paris also ,but in September..

Hi Kinseykin,

I would suggest saving some room in your suitcase, after walking around Paris for a few days you may just want to go shopping. Think H&M, Sanmartaine (sp) and Gallaries Lafayette Department Stores. As for what to wear, think New York, or San Francisco. Cooler climate, layers, darker clothing. Save bright colors for accessories or sweaters. Also a light weight raincoat might come in handy.

Bon Voyage

Hi K:

Another item I bring is a jacket-blazer
that gives me an option besides my sweater.

I bring 2 sweaters, a black cashmere
cardigan and 1 other in a softer color.

If it's not rainy, I'll wear the jacket-blazer over the sweater with anything from a LS top to only a camisole under the sweater; or just a blouse and jacket with cami; depends on the temps.

My 3/4 length, waterproof rain jacket has a detachable hood but keeping the umbrella handy is a biggy.

What brand of slip on clogs do you wear?
I haven't had a pair I really liked for both day & evening, that looked nice and were comfortable at the same time, since my Doc Martens's which I wore all over Italy.
That was 5 years ago!!!

This past week I bought a reversible, crunchy, black hat at Kohls, winter clearance sale. It has felt on one side and a cotton tweed look on the other. You can fold the front up and the back down or fold both up or down-I love it and have worn it every day for my walk and errands.

I'm taking it to France for the beginning of May as we're going to Normandy.

Have fun and we're here if you need more tips or advice.

The clogs I have are from Clarks and they have a heel but not to high and the look really ggod with jeans and I can wear them with like black pants cause they are leather. They are so comfortable. I think I can wear them more than sneakers sometime to do alot of walking in cause they are padded and all or something, Most of my shoes are from Clarks and Are very good for my feet. Your suggestions are great!!

I say take the J-Lo's! There will be times when you just want to be comfortable and if you look good in them, wear them. Young people in Europe wear cute outfits like that.

Even the most comfortable shoes, I think it's important to have 2-3 pairs so you can switch off which ones you wear.

And I was serious above about including one "lounging" outfit. It's nice to be able to get out of your daytime clothes but not into your jammies/robe (if you travel with those) for some kick-back time at the hotel room at the end of the day or between touring and going back out for dinner.
