The last time I wore this dress, one of my coworkers told me I should have been wearing a beret with it so that I would look Parisian. So just for her, the beret.
This popcorn beret was something I'd seen at ModCloth, and really loved and wanted, but not badly enough to pay $26 + shipping for. Just when I had resigned to coveting from afar, the exact beret was spotted on the clearance table of a shop in my town. I can't remember if it was $10 or $15 - only that it was far less than at ModCloth.
This scarf was a birthday gift last year, and I must confess, this is my first time wearing it. I can't say why it's taken me so long. I actually quite like how the sheer element offers some unique layering effects.

Chloe is a Bichon Frise, so she is a French dog.
Outfit photos aren't her favorite though; this is her favorite:
But that is everyone's favorite, isn't it?

Love, love this outfit!
It really does look French! I think the hat seals it. :)
I love the dress, the beret definitely kicks it into French gear but, I like the unique layering effect of the scarf.
I love the layering of the sheer scarf - very chic and definitely French inspired!

That dress is gorge on you Lyddie! And loved how you paired the beret with it. Xo
A lovely image straight out of France, you look fantastic! The dress I love and the sheer scarf really adds a sort of elegance to it all.
And your dog is so cute! ♥
Tres chic! (I know no French, so I hope it used this correctly). The hat and the striped dress are darling together.
Love it!!! Very Parisian :D

The hat was one thing. Adorable. But the doggie takes the cake. Chloe is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!
The beret just finishes the look perfectly and that is such a nice sweater dress.
ps. I'm happy you found the beret somewhere else because supposedly Modcloth clothing can be found in lower price stores. Crazy!! :/
i heart that your beret coordinates with your adorable dog!
Amazing style dear, you look gorgeous! <3

You look a little French, and very cute and warm.

A definite French look to this. Funnily enough I have on a striped tee too!
Glad you found the popcorn beret, such a lovely steal of a find. And I really like the scarf, the sheer floral detail is beautiful. Do I think this outfit is Parisian like? Oui oui! :)

Totally French inspired.... you make me want to try on a beret.
By now you probably know I a a fan of Chloe... now you are going to kill me but I though she was a french poodle... mine are Maltese- family of the bichon, only that mine are overfed.
I really like the sheer scarf :) I'm always envious of people who can wear berets, they look enormously bad on me because I can never get them to stay on. Chloe is so cute! I try to get my cousin's dog to pose with me but he never goes for it either.
Very French, very chic! you`ve got an amazing blog here, I`m following you now, hope you might follow me back:)

hi lovely! thank you for the comment! the stormy sea really is the best necklace, seriously seems to go with everything.
your hair looks stunning here, and i think your co-worker was right, the beret is the cherry-on-the-top to this lovely look.
