I'm Packing for Paris—29 Nordstrom Items I'm Eyeing That Scream "French Girl"

I am very excited to report that I am soon traveling to Paris, which naturally means I need a whole new wardrobe. I would be lying if I said I wasn't planning on dressing at least a little bit Parisian while in the amazing city. This is why a shopping spree was deemed necessary. Per usual, I rushed to Nordstrom to see what my go-to retailer had in store for me as I attempted to re-create some of my favorite French-girl looks.
As expected, Nordstrom did not disappoint. I was shocked to see how many incredible French-girl staples were hiding at the retailer, from ballet flats to striped tees and tweed jackets to sweet cardigans. Thank goodness because my Paris shopping is nearly complete now. Whether you're planning a trip to Paris or not, this French girl–inspired roundup will have you tapping into that chic and effortless style in no time.
