As often as we try to tell ourselves that our obsession with French women is unwarranted, and that they’re just women like we are, doing the best they can to live well-rounded lives and look chic while doing so, we can’t help but feel this longing to be them. No matter how many tips we get on how to achieve their look, we know that the secret sauce is really their “no f—s given” attitude, which is not so easy to learn. So, as we work hard on caring less what people think (and thereby make them want to be us more), we thought it might be helpful to simultaneously undergo a sort of training camp for the more superficial aspects of being French.
