Ah, French women! They're classic, just like their fashion choices

The historical average of a 10% mortality rate in the Legion is one of the things I am constantly bearing in mind.

I think a teacher exchange or something would be a lot safer. Maybe you can get a job teaching English or something.

And as this thread was about girl's fashion, may I say that fashion in Djibouti and Afghanistan is way less glamourous than in Paris.

The Mediterranean is really why I wanted to move to France and England would have been nice but im from Texas and I don't like the cold to much!

You are not too young to begin contemplating going around the world. You should be figuring out where you want to live and what career path you want to pursue. You are 17, and should be close to graduating so these are all things you are old enough to contemplate.

I plan to visit but I don't want to live there. Besides Alizee is taken.

I would love to live there simply to do something completely different and start a new life. I will find out next year if I would really want to live there when I visit so until then its just pure speculation.

Edit: Just found out that they have Heroes over there and from what a can determine the series is up to date with the US so it should be in English. So thats one pro to add to the list of ever growing pros.

I don't believe the French are the most stylish. We perceive this idea because in times past fashion came from Europe to the USA.

But now, the roles are switching as Hollywood has become more globalized and celebrities (Americans) have become more known on a global level.

There are stylish people everywhere, they're just not as publicized.

To answer your question as to what French women wear, why, they wear the very same things we wear here. It's just a matter of cultural taste and what is defined tasteful or fashionably deviant.

Another factor as to why we perceive the French as having more style, or being more fashionable, is because they have so much more confidence in their own personal style.

As my personal quote goes "Style is what you have, not what you buy" so you can purchase everything a French woman has in her wardrobe, but if you can't pull it off like she can, then what's the point?
