Sous le ciel de Paris
The yoke isn't done and it still needs a zipper, but doesn't this skirt make you think of springtime in Paris?
That's what it makes me think of, anyway. And it's oh-so-appropriate because in less than two weeks, I'll be WEARING IT IN PARIS!
*dances around*
My parents were planning on taking my brothers to Paris and Zurich for ten days. Seems that since I've left home, they have money for more than the Let's-See-North-America-On-$100-A-Day-Or-Less-For-5-People! trips of yore. I was getting all excited about just helping them plan, especially when my brothers decided they wanted to stay for two extra weeks, so I went into full Big Sister mode and was trying to think of all the tips and advice I could give them. After all, as my mother put it, "If I tell them exactly the same thing, they'll just roll their eyes. But coming from you, they'll listen to it." Because it's much cooler to get advice from your elder siblings than from your parents, right? Not that I'd know, as I have no elder siblings. But anyway. Then my father asked me if I'd like to go as well, that they'd pay for my plane ticket.
Daddy, what kind of a question is that? Does the Pope wear a funny hat? Seriously.
I got my ticket yesterday, leaving Tokyo on the 29th for Paris, via Seoul, returning from Zurich on the 7th of April, also via Seoul. My father pointed out that the ticket would cost the same if I wanted to stay longer and tempting as it is to do the backpacking thing with my brothers (I think we'd have a blast), I do work and not so many hours that I want to miss much more than a week. Besides, you can get surprisingly cheap deals for tickets from Japan to Europe, so it won't be that hard to go back. Plus, next time I go to Europe, I'd rather go to countries I haven't been before; my brothers are going to Amsterdam and London, but I'd like to see Scandinavia, Spain, Portugal and Ireland.
It's soon, so I have to get cracking and finish the skirt, then finish another one I have planned. Since we'll be staying in an actual hotel in Paris, I want to travel in style and take along more than one pair of shoes and wear skirts, not wear the same pair of pants day in, day out as I do when backpacking.
Also, Paris? Fabric shopping? Hello!
