I was not really fashionable even when I lived in Boston and even less so since moving to Colorado where even the governor rarely wears a suit. When I went to Paris for work last year I was more stressed about my wardrobe than about my presentations; finally a friend of mine who owns a fantastic Vietnamese import company gave me a really stunning mid-calf length silk velvet jacket and said "Just wear this over everything the whole time you're there." Totally saved me; I even got a compliment on it in the airport. Have a fantastic holiday in Paris; I'm jealous!!Corinne McKayhttp://www.thoughtsontranslation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28165993.post-79349296446762016552010-12-19T07:35:09.132-05:002010-12-19T07:35:09.132-05:00Hi!
