Les Soldes

En France during the winter and the summer there is one month of sales in the entire country. These are called les soldes and the purporse is to get rid of last seasons merchandise to make room for the new stuff. Some of the people in my group have been really enjoying les soldes, especially my friend Maryann, who has being buying clothes left and right. I have been saved by this for two reasons: 1. French people are much smaller than my large American self and 2. I am a cheap Rose. I did however purchase the coolest pair of boots to stick my jeans into. They were way en solde and cost me about 44 Euros. I will post pictures later. Everyone here wears their pants tucked into tall boots, so it's a must-have for the European look.
