A Lesson from the Royals

  • Overly elaborate hats: few women can pull these hats off without looking like they’re going to the Derby or like they’re attending a costume ball, dressed as the Queen herself
  • Open toed, white shoes: unless you’re at the beach, but never anywhere else
  • Fur capes: be careful with fur—you’ll look like a wookie
  • Here are some tips to try:
    • Beautiful, real jewels: they don’t have to empty your bank account, but real jewelry should be perfect, whether it’s elaborate or understated—but simple is best
    • Natural hairstyle: fly-aways and sometimes a but ‘undone’ a natural hairstyle is best if you don’t want some unnatural disaster to occur
    • Flawless complexion: let your skin be what it should be—don’t go overboard on the makeup, especially if it’s hot out and you have to meet a large number of people
