We can make believe...

Those that really know me know what a complete hopeless romantic I am. Weddings are most definitely my guilty pleasure. So of course I watched the Royal Wedding today and drank in all the pomp and circumstance. I also loved seeing all the dresses and wedding hats! I wish it were fashionable for women my age to wear hats like that here in the states. If I had been a guest at the Royal Wedding today, this is what I would have worn. :)

The suit
The shoes: either these in satin

Or these with a lower heal and in satin


The hat: either this with less feathers or this with a birdcage veil

Jewelry:


Handbag
:


And because it's make believe, after all, everything would match and would look the way I wanted it to. *sigh* I can I always keep dreaming.

Okay I LOVE the second pair of shoes, but do not lower that heal! You would have looked marvelous darling!

All very cute! Ellie actually enjoyed watching all of the wedding stuff too-- pretty funny.

Maybe you could just get the handbag or the jewelry for now and get the rest later:)

I love this! I want to put together my outfit, too!

Oh, and where did you find the bracelet? I love it.

Sarah- Those shoes have 4 3/4" heels with no platforms. I don't think I would last very long in them. :)

Edna- I typed "Diamond Bangle" into google images and found it. I think it was on an auction site. I tried the search again but wasn't able to find it. I think you should put your outfit together. It would be fun to see.

Here it is, sadly $195 is out of my price range.

Lauren, you are too cute. How fun to plan your outfit to attend the royal wedding. How did you like Princess Kate's wedding dress? And I feel a little silly for asking but what was the gorgeous jewelry? Was it a bracelet?
