We've covered French-girl style enough times to dress her from memory at this point: the trench, the small gold hoops, the trouser that does all the work. What we haven't done is watch her actually shop, so we put her in front of Shopbop for the first time to see what she'd click on.
My guess is she skips the going-out dresses entirely and heads straight for the coats and the jewelry, because that's where French-girl logic always lives, in the pieces you reach for without thinking. These are the 23 things she'd have in her cart within five minutes, no import necessary.
