Princess Kate and I Don’t Mind Bright!

Did you see the story this weekend about Princess Kate’s green coat??…see it HERE ON WHAT KATE WORE!  Well, I thought of this story Saturday when leaving the house in my orange coat.

Why?

Because William told her the green coat was too bright and she shouldn’t wear it.
She wore it anyway!
A woman after my own heart!!

Obviously, a bright coat does not bother me.  I told you last week, I purchased two of these Peter Nygard, cotton/linen jackets (HERE) at Dillard’s on sale..one bright blue, one bright orange.

Then I stopped by CHICO’S and saw the no-iron blouse with the leopard detailing and immediately styled it in my head with this coat,,,of course, then it had to come home with me!

Speaking of CHICO’S…On May 14 I will be speaking at the location in the VILLAGE OF STONE OAK at 6:00!  Stop by and join us for refreshments, to see the new summer collection, and to discuss how to Reinvent and Refresh Your Style for Summer!!

  Hope the local ladies can join us that evening!!  We will talk about visibility and how to enjoy fashion in our summer heat!!

A reader asked about my red leather purse…it is Ellen Tracy…and I got it at a garage sale in mint-condition!  Score!

Now, what do you think…should Kate have worn the coat??

Linking up with MONDAY MINGLE!

Happy, joyful Monday, everyone!!

  2. Love the orange jacket! It looks great on you! Princess Kate has wonderful style and yes, she was right to wear the green coat over the protests of her husband! The color is great with her hair and skin coloring. Karen

  3. I LOVE bright orange… you pull it off well! I don't think I can pull off BRIGHT colors cause I am soooo pale but I do encourage others… Like my husband.. Oh boy, I made him buy a bright orange western shirt and I cannot wait until he wears it.

  4. I hadn't heard the story about Kate – way to go for her 🙂 And Congratulations to you on all the honors and the speaking engagement! I keep reading about the no-wrinkle shirts – are they as fabulous as they sound? It certainly looks fab on you!

  5. Hi Pam. I like bright in the spring. Not big on neon, but a color bright jacket such as yours I like on you. Chicos is my aunt 's store. I think Kate should wear what she likes as long as it is tasteul.
    Have a great day! jess

  6. Pam, I agree with Carol. I wish my mind worked that way too. But, now I have you as my personal online stylist! BTW, what pants are you wearing with the great colorful jacket? PSS I love bright colors. PSSS Good for Kate! (That is my last PS……)
