Goes so well with your red hair. The boots look comfy for walking on cobblestones. Nice. Check out Air Tahiti Nuit for direct flight (Tahiti-LA-Paris), good value, and they increase frequency of flights starting in Nov. You might want to think about staying a few days beyond the structured tour to explore the city, flea markets, and a side trip to Chartres (a short train ride). Penguin map (pocket size) of Paris a MUST - with bus lines, metro, markets, and more to make your visit easy to maneuver around the city.

I think you will be happier with it if the pockets are about 1" lower so that you have a little more waist definition. You know the ways this can happen. Happy sewing.
