Realistic Chic



Another new series: Realistic Chic. Listen, I'm all for fabulous fashion moments, but what is really amazing and inspiring is how to dress for real life and look amazing. Marion Cotillard is embodying that look here.
The classic chic of opaque black tights, but instead of heels or sleek knee-length boots, she's wearing short crepe-soled boots that achieve practical/cool nirvana. Then there's the casual throw-it-on denim mini and the flourish of the boucle jacket. The fact that she is wearing this outfit while toting around an infant just confirms that it's realistic. I do not, however, see a bag (necessary for schlepping baby stuff), but I'm assuming she has one and it's hidden.

OK I'm obsessed with her boots. What are they? Can any of my readers tell me?
