A Royal Wedding - US Style


A Royal Wedding - US Style





My best friend is going to a Royal Wedding next month; that is, a British wedding, so she will be donning a fascinator. For this, it was easy to channel Kate Middelton, who I am completely obsessed with. This really gave me a chance to spend hours looking at her clothes and style online, and I feel she would definitely endorse this outfit.


Kate has perfected the classic look, and while keeping it simple, always looks completely put together. Her clothes are tailored to her body, and they look ladylike, yet still sexy. This is what I kept in mind when putting together this outfit, which is designed around the fascinator my friend selected.


Dress - M has a rocking body, fit, toned yet still has curves. It is not fair...anywaysssss....This dress has a v-neck to accentuate her assets, a center panel to show off her toned stomach and draping on the bottom to skim her curves.  It is a light jersey material, so it will not be too warm for an August, and it will move as she shakes her groove thing at the reception.


Earrings -  Once again, my  beloved Kate Spade gumdrop earrings. Normally, I am a pearls girl, but these are similar yet a bit more fun.


Shoes - I picked a simple nude pump to lengthen the leg  but not distract from the rest of the outfit.


Clutch - I did not want all neutral accessories, so it compliments the fascinator without being a distraction. Plus, it is large enough to carry the essentials.

Cheers to the open bar!
