This morning, my phone woke me up to remind me that there was a "vide dressing"* on Avenue Berthelot beginning at 10 AM. So I went. 3 avenue Berthelot is a bar. At 10 AM, it's a bit strange to walk ... into a bar. But indeed, two women were hanging clothes in the back where the chairs and tables had been removed. I found a navy blue tee-shirt for two euros. And now I have an outfit that is almost entirely made of recycled clothing. The scarf comes from Testaccio, Rome, and is made from recycled fabric. The jacket is from the flea market held every Sunday in Rome, just beyond the Piazza del Popolo if you're heading north. The shoes are Camper, from "Des Habits et Vous" in Lyon. The skirt is from Housing Works in New York City.
*an empty your closet, literally. These are advertised in cities in France, and held in all kinds of spaces including sometimes, private homes and... bars.
