The British Royal Family - news, views, clothes & shoes! #7

[Gardenista]

What amazes me, Megan always looked great in everything she wore in Suits. Her clothes were tailored, the perfect length, and perfect for her frame. She was dressed for the part she played and knows how to conform to be a success.

Everything she wore in NY was fabulous, she looked great. But when she's in the UK its big, blousey, way to long and mismatched. Its not really a bohemian style. IMO, she knows style, we've seen her blog. She knows she is creating negative publicity, which Harry despises, and her friends defend her publicly.

Hope she finds her fashion nitch soon....

I could not agree more which I was so excited to follow MM's fashion. I rarely liked any of Kate's fashion choices, but thought with Meghan it would be different. At least Kate has stepped it up, so we have that and we do get occasional good choices with Meghan, but they are SO few and far between.

The Spencer kids are gorgeous, but they're not Royal.

ROYAL and TITLED was my comment.

I wonder if she didn’t really like how she had to dress for “Suits” and is trying to break away from the office attire look. I haven’t seen her blog, so I don’t know what she wore when she wasn’t working. Did she veer toward Boho? As much as I love the look on some people (Stevie Nicks), it’s not something a working Royal can pull off. And you’re right that those oversized dresses overpower her and aren’t working.

Thanks for that. There's a link on that page that goes to the shopping site with a full length photo with the blouse.

Vesplisa printed georgette midi skirt

The photo has it paired with a "white" shirt. The skirt is a blue white and its hard to march another white with this and makes the shirt appear dingy. Maybe a dark blue blouse??? What ya think??

I think a dark blue blouse would cut her in half (or thirds) even more. Very few people could carry off that skirt with its large abstract pattern and pleats unless they are very tall IMO.

I tried searching around google images to see if I could find it advertised with any other top and found this.

I do like the top, but it reminds me of an old lady outfit, no offense.

I usually like graphic patterns, but it's just not that cute.

No, most of her attire on her blog was "fitting".

If you google tig blog archives and go to images, you can see some of the blog.

I feel that she can afford a personal stylist like the queen has. Every coat and hat is perfect.

I bet Meghan could get someone to make clothes that fit her body, She is slender and petite. She could look great. She looks good in white and black. Other colors not so much

Personally I don’t like that skirt at all. It’s georgette, which means it’s light and delicate-looking. Pairing it with a standard white cotton shirt looks like a color and fabric mismatch. It might be saved with a matching blue or black blouse. But overall, it’s a non- starter for me.

I wouldnt want to wear knife pleats unless I was rail-thin, as they are very unforgiving.

And this outfit looks sloppy to me. Couldnt her dresser look at what other women were wearing? This obviously isn’t an official royal function, but it’s close to it. What’s wrong with one of the lovely ( and forgiving) print dresses?
Or the sleeveless white dress she wore for Archie’s first photo? That looked much smarter than this outfit.

Interesting, this stylist thinks Meghan emulates Angelina Jolie’s fashion style.

Tall and rail-thin. Kate could pull it off, but there’s nothing great about this skirt

The photo you attached are some of my favorite MM outfits. WHY can't she choose outfits like this every time????? She rocks a black turtleneck--it should be a staple in her wardrobe.

Of the three ladies (Kate, Meghan and Pippa), two of them looked classy and polished. One of them looked like a mess.
Kate is looking frail now - Kate get a large fries and Cheeseburger from Five Guys today.
Loved Pippa's hair style. I love the color of Kate's hair.

Why wear a long sleeved shirt to sloppily push up the sleeves??

I did say a few things that were derogatory but did not mention names!!!

Markle looks sloppy here compared to the Middleton girls

And while I’m at it..

I don’t like Kate’s choice, either.

The color feels too dark and fall-winter-like and the dress seems too .. business-like?

I also think it’s a smidge too tight through the middle & hip section. When you can see the outline of someone’s bellybutton, it’s too tight.

I love reading everyone's diverse thoughts, reflections, and opinions on the Royal outfits regardless if I agree or disagree.
