Paris, Day 5, Part I: Outfit
Today I wore the top and the shoes I got at the Castelbajac store in London. I can only understand a few words in French, but I instantly comprehended the lady on the Metro who pointed at my feet and said (in French), “Your shoes…superb…superb.” MrB and I caught two other Metro mademoiselles giving me…

We started out the day with lunch at L’Avenue with our Paris-based friend James Lieber. Thanks for lunch, James!
