It's the eve of my
grad school graduation and I find myself... cruising through a Kate
Middleton lookbook from Nylon Magazine. I ignored the whole royal
wedding when it was actually occurring, which is surprising, given my
involvement in the bridal industry. It was on a Friday (I think?) and
started like something like 5am. No, thank you.
But I finally caved
and checked out her style. She dresses how I'd expect British royalty
to dress: preppy, classy, and generally fabulous. But the one thing
that struck me about her coords were her hats! She wears a ton
of them, and they're not boring either. Maybe it's just a British
thing, but I would loooooove to see people incorporating hats back
into evening looks or when attending events. They just make an outfit
twice as interesting. Hats in America have basically evolved into
baseball caps and knitted winter berets. Pretty unfortunate, compared
to what hats used to mean back in the early twentieth century.
