So I like following extra Petite Jean because she is practically the same size as me - especially in height (I do not think I am as thin as her) - and because for the most part I like her style.
Though at the moment she is prego and soon due, she still suggests clothes that are versatile for being prego and not.
For a while now I have been looking for a maxi dress. Preferred floral print but I will take anything that fits right now. So I ordered online a dress she was wearing (though she had the cutest yellow - I love yellow, but it was sold out) during her Italy trip. I got the rust red instead.
It arrived today and I have been walking around my place for a good 30 minutes in this dress because it just about fits! (so unusual not to have to hem or alter it somehow)
I've decided that I like it!
But something was bugging me. I was not too sure about the colour and was thinking about it until something just popped into my head and now I cannot shake it.
Red , flowey, long dress........
Gah!
Just gimme a white bonnet and I may as well be one of those handmaids!
great. Now I cannot get rid of this image as I wear it. And what a coincidence that the show is filmed in T.O.
Ugh. Hope no one else thinks it when they see me....

In France the other day...
President Macron's response to a teenager who called him 'Manu'
was to correct him and say he should call him Mr. President and he went on to tell the boy that before he starts a revolution he must learn to "do things the right way... first earn a diploma and learn how to put food on the table."
I find this amusing in many ways. One, because his statement rings true for me. But also because I am pretty sure the kid was just trying to be cool with the prez, but I also think that the prez is dealing with a lot of issues, and a feeling of disrespect is one of them, that he just felt he needed to set things straight and voice his built up opinion. Too bad for this innocent kid who had to be the example that the prez had to set straight in front of everyone. But of course I think the media is making it more dramatic than it was, and I doubt the boy was that humiliated. Though with all the idiocy of media hype, I am also pretty sure the kid possibly now is persuaded to think against the president, rather than listening to his realistic advice. C'est la vie!
BTW, has anyone noticed that the president's name is soooo similar to the delicious french treat Macaron? That to me is just awesome..yum!
