When I think of French girl style, I immediately go to Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot. Some of their most iconic looks could be worn today without any clue of the decade they came from.

If you want to be excited about your winter wardrobe again, you’ve found the right place… I wasn’t always a J.Crew girl. In the past, I found the style to be a bit too preppy for me.
