These rules are not mine, so I can't be blamed for them, but they sure are funny. Tourist time in Paris is upon us and I have to say I smile every time I see an American. We stand out! Not me of course, I'm cool now:). Trust me I still stand out, but I think the two kids yelling at me in English might have something to do with it. Left by myself with a silent Aidan in the stroller I am the go to woman on the street for directions. Everyday people stop me and ask me for directions, so I must look like I know a thing or two, then I open my mouth and try to respond.
Dead giveaway that I'm not French.
So click HERE to find out how NOT to look like a tourist in Paris (her entire blog is great).
You know what else I like about this guy? He mentions the ridiculous MC Hammer pants that are gaining popularity here.
Now for my confession time, last summer I wore flip flops in Paris. There I said it. Does it count that they were Havaianas and Chaco? You know what? I'm going to do it again.

Peg - I make every effort to look like an American while over here.
The low crotch pants are a traditional Turkish farmer inspiration. They are what you see Turks wearing as they work the fields. Good luck to any person that tries to run in them.
Jeremy, I need a picture of you with a fanny pack!
Angie, I love how you know information like that. I say they should have left those pants in the field, but I think they would most likely say I should have left my flip flops at the beach!
Thanks Peggy for the insight into Paris do's and don'ts. We will be there in 4 weeks- don't know how I am going to get my husband not to wear those hideous white sneakers. What does Brandon wear on weekends?
Tammy I only where the most fashionable items on the weekend! In my mind anyway!
Guess what? It's not just Paris. Those MC Hammer pants (harem pants) are all over the style/fashion magazines here. Apparently, Ralph Lauren busted out a gold pair, which is now on back order.....not me, I'll pass. Thanks for the funnies.
