Under-$150 Picks From French Women Living Around the World
French-girl style—we can all agree we're into it at this point, right? It's effortless. Elegant but sophisticated. Low-maintenance. Enduringly flattering. It's everything we want out of fashion, so despite our extensive history of covering the topic, we still manage to find ourselves wanting more (hopefully you do, too).
As such, we recently noticed a small group of Parisian ladies on Instagram who hail from Paris but are currently living elsewhere around the world. From expats making it big in Manhattan to a minimalist residing in Los Angeles to a technical Parisian who basically lives somewhere new each week, the women below are sure to inspire how you translate your Francophile ways to wherever you may live. Oh, and did we mention they're all wearing pieces that ring in at under $150? Scroll down to meet your new favorite Frenchies and shop their budget-friendly finds to get the look for your own wardrobe this season.
