Rather than dress like a French girl, maybe dress like a French Onion Soup Girl, a girl who’s ready for the warmth and coziness of autumn combined with a weakness for the aesthetic of the al fresco dining. This calls for all types of sweaters on your hands, wrists, legs, and thighs. Hair tied up in a careless bun on top of your head, whisps galore, but no scarf! Y’know, lest you get the gooey cheese pull from the melting gruyere up in your cashmere. Yum, we should all take note of how to dress like a French Onion Soup Girl.

Or if you want you can dress like a French girl on a budget.

Or maybe it’s time we take note and dress more like a Drenched Girl. No more of these blowouts and makeup-in-place and sundewy-ness that’s supposed to trick me into thinking we’re all in the blossom of our youth. Let’s really commit to a proper drenched look. Like you were dressed in your new, dry-clean only dress and hardly broken in suede shoes, and you had all of the best intentions to have a good day. Then Mother Nature didn’t want you to get too ahead of yourself. The one that says, “Yeah, I have an umbrella. Yeah, I have a smartphone. Yeah, I have the weather app. What I don’t have is time for that shit.” Drenched Girl chic is walking through the rainstorm like a boss, not crawling into the office like a wet kitten. Drenched Girl is very empowering.

Or if you want, you can dress like a French girl according to this site.

Oh wait! Maybe, let’s dress like an actual French girl. Let’s do it properly though. You’ll have to buy the uniform styled indigo coat, the woven hat, the red bow for your neck, and white socks with black patent leather Mary Janes. You’ll have to really commit and get a short red wig, but to really bring the point home, you’ll have to ask 11 other friends to adorn similar uniforms so the 12 of you can stand in two straight lines, possibly live in a house covered with vines. And you can even TaskRabbit someone to don a habit and watch as the 12 of you head to the zoo just so you could “pooh-pooh” at the ferocious lion. This one takes a lot of coordinating but trés chic.

Or if you want you can dress like a French girl according to this other site.

Let’s aim to dress more like a Quenched Girl. Water is the answer to most, if not all, problems out there. A Quenched Girl drinks the suggested eight eight-ounce glasses of water a day. Her skin’s superb and buoyant. The water helped her solve her sleep issues and feeling-always-drained issues. She carries a water bottle on her at all times. Granted, she has to find the restroom all the time. Being this hydrated all the time means having to relieve yourself routinely but that’s okay. Quenched Girl is satisfied. Quenched Girl doesn’t need that benetton striped shirt or basket purse. Quenched girl has a Hydroflask.

Or you can dress like a French girl like this site says.
