Sadly QueenoftheAndals has decided to bow out and not create any more Royal Style and Beauty threads SadSadSad
I'm really hoping she'll reconsider.
Are any of the regular posters interested in continuing her great work ?

Wow, I've been busy and off MN... I've missed a lot. I won't bore you by going back to things you've already discussed. But I love that dress on CPV. It's sort of medieval? I saw someone on twitter I think saying they hope she finds a tiara occasion to rewear it - I can get behind that.

it's the kind of dress I'd love to wear but will never have an appropriate event to attend!

Kate at a garden centre today:

Not the most flattering set of Kate pictures. It’s all a bit ‘doing her own ironing’ isn’t it?

MotherofPearl · 19/06/2020 13:26

I know what you mean Katie.

I also think jeans and the shirt would have been okay on their own (maybe not those jeans and that shirt necessarily), but I don't get wearing those waistcoats for all outdoor events. I mean, she was only visiting, not doing any actual gardening? I find it a bit odd.

Beautiful tiara's earlier Crown

Good to see different members of the RF starting to get out and about.

Littlepurpleflower · 19/06/2020 13:48

Kate is doing her literal dressing again, isn’t she? Is she wearing knee length boots?

Also, to be fair, it is raining and it’s cold. The gilet is there to keep the cold off.

Kate's garden centre outfit
I think it's a Jaeger shirt and Fjällräven gilet
The shoes are definitely Superga sherwood gum and the earrings are Monica Vinader

William visited a bakery

Just spotted Kate’s shoes! I’m forcibly reminded of the ones my grandmother used to wear.

I’m obviously in full bitch mode today but as outfits go this is a long way from her best.

, well I suppose iab completely and utterly U.

itswinetime · 19/06/2020 15:22

I agree the whole outfit isn't great but it's the shoes that push it over in to a fashion fail for me! It's a shame because so far her zoom lockdown wardrobe has been ok!

On the flip side I thought William in jeans and jumper was a big improvement in his normal chinos and fleece look!

latedecember1963 · 19/06/2020 15:23

I'm not keen on Kate's garden centre trainers which probably means they're very trendy. In a young person's interpretation of something being so uncool, it's cool kind of way.
I like the rest of her outfit as it fits with the location.

thisenglishlife · 19/06/2020 15:26

The shoes are fine but don't go, I saw the trousers and shirt online and they look fine. It's the gilet that I'm not a fan of.

paradyning · 19/06/2020 15:31

I really dislike these outdoor looks with gilets. The shoes are good though.

MotherofPearl · 19/06/2020 15:36

Yup, the gilet is not my favourite thing.

I can live with the shoes.

@thisenglishlife, the trousers are satin? That is odd. I thought they were jeans. Satin to a garden centre?

AudacityOfHope · 19/06/2020 15:57

The gilet and the shoes are both brutal.
It's a bit 'rich person's day off' as outfits go.

LadyEloise · 19/06/2020 16:08

Where is COV's dress from ?
The one with the embroidered flowers.
Please.

Does this mean that white trainers are out of fashion then? Asking for a friend (me) who is procrastinating about buying some vejas.

MotherofPearl · 19/06/2020 16:39

Eloise, apparently CPV's wildflower dress is by Swedish designer Frida Jonsvens.

MotherofPearl · 19/06/2020 16:41

English, I certainly wasn't doubting you about the trousers - just seemed an odd choice to me. Grin I can't tell if they are actually satin or just called satin.

thisenglishlife · 19/06/2020 17:05

I put the link for the material - it's cotton and lyocell... Isn't satin normally polyester?It looks only very vaguely satin-like on the website, but it's in their description.

LadyEloise · 19/06/2020 18:26

Thank you MotherofPearl

Sophie on a webinar today. The dress is printed with moons and stars apparently, which I'm not hugely keen on, but I do think she looks very pretty.
