You can see how beautiful her dress looks with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
Amanda was lounging around in the Champ de Mars, a large grassy area surrounding the Eiffel Tower. This iconic structure located in Paris, France was originally used as the entrance to the World's Fair in 1889. It was named after Gustave Eiffel, who owned the company that built and designed it. The French people were not big fans of this tower when it was built, because they did not approve of the design. However, the Eiffel Tower quickly became a symbol of France. Amanda has been to Paris one time before; however, it was cold and dark, so she did not get the full experience. She decided to come back to be able to lie out in the warmth.

The weather in Paris has been hot and sunny. This makes it the perfect time to break out your light summer dresses! Amanda kept herself cool with this open-backed floral dress from Urban Outfitters. You can never go wrong with florals, especially when sitting underneath the Eiffel Tower! Blue and green are directly next to each other on the color wheel, making them the perfect colors to contrast with one another. The green stands out beautifully against the dark blue of the dress. This cute and casual outfit is perfect for any day exploring your favorite city.
Comfortable shoes are always a great option when you are walking around all day. She bought these stylish, yet comfortable shoes from Von Maur in Chicago. Sneakers are the best choice, because they will protect your feet much more than sandals will. Because the athleisure trend is so popular, wearing sneakers with a cute outfit is no longer socially unacceptable.
