march 31th “Eiffel Tower Day”

Today’s festivity is “Eiffel Tower Day”.

The most iconic monument in the world. I cannot think of any person past 12 years old who does not know where or what the Eiffel Tower is. Here is how you can celebrate this wonderful day.

Casual: Gather with your friends. Talk about how magnificent the Eiffel Tower is. Eat waffles to commemorate this day.

Committed: Organize a sleepover with your best friends. Watch “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “Midnight in Paris” while eating crepes. Wear France-themed clothing.

Color Challenge

“Feel Excited Wearing Sunset Orange”. An orange dress with some golden brown flats or heels will look gorgeous.
