Fashion Fridays

That's right, it's Fashion Friday again!!! It was a pretty slow week fashion wise. The only really interesting thing was Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall at The Sandringham Flower Show on Wednesday. Don't worry, Sunday evening will see a very special post following the fashion from Pierre Casiraghi and Beatrice Borromeo's Religious Ceremony in Italy!!! I'm so excited to be covering my first royal wedding on this blog :)

So here's what The Duchess of Cornwall wore



 It's fairly simple. I love the blue she's wearing. It's so bright and striking. Her shoes are pretty standard, brown low heel. Pretty suitable for her age and works with her outfit. Underneath the coat you can see a light blue dress with a white floral print. Very girly, also age appropriate and fairly casual which suits the occasion. On the left shoulder she's wearing a dragon fly brooch which is quite nice against the bright blue coat.
