Hey!
So I realized a few days ago that my Absentee Ballot arrived at my permanent address–with the wrong name! For a second I thought I wouldn’t get to vote in this historical election, until a friend told me about an emergency ballot— a form by which expats and military personnel can write in their choice candidates and send it in. On Saturday I quickly filled out my emergency ballot, then raced to the only Fedex in Paris with weekend hours on Boulevard Haussmann…
…and Au Printemps…
Of course upon arrival at Fedex, I found it was, in very French fashion, closed without reason! Since I had traveled 45 minutes to get there, I decided to chill and look around for some Real Style. I stumbled upon these two friends:
Who stood out to me because of their colorful accessories. The winter doldrums have set in, but these ladies kept it bright with a plum purse on the left, and a metallic jacket and mauve tights on the right.
What do you think of their style?
Bisous!
*I read the fine print on the emergency ballot, and as long as it’s postmarked November 3rd and received by November 11th, it still counts! I’m hightailing back up to Fedex now to make sure the right candidate makes it into the Oval Office!
Also, I hope everyone votes in tomorrow’s election. Don’t take your opportunity to change the country for granted!
