Does "Princess Kate" have fairy-tale fashion?

I'm going to travel across the pond.


Unfortunately,  not literally.

Since her engagement to Prince William was announced last November, Kate Middleton has been launched into the international spotlight.  While her title of a "celebrity" proably is not the best fit for her-she will be in line to be queen after all-her style has taken notice.
Especially here in the states.


Here, Kate's outfit I something that I feel I see around campus.  The knee-high boots, jeans, shirt and jacket are some of a girl's most basic wardrobe components, and Kate pulls them off.

Flowy.  Feminine.  Different from the jeans for certain.  The only thing slightly off-putting?  The wedge/platform shoes.  Maybe it's just me, but I feel like anything with a platform belongs back in the seventies...with the go-go dancers.

Did Kate pick her engagement announcement outfit out herself?  That's something that I don't know.  What I do know, is that as soon as word got out who she was wearing it was the hottest thing on the market.  According to People Magazine, the dress sold out within hours of the announcement in London, and women everywhere were wanting to dress like the future princess.  In fact, this dress was so popular that net-a-porter.com was placing reservations for women to order this moment must-have.  Unfortunately, it's no longer available.

 

Will Kate keep her style sense once she becomes royalty?  Or will she trade in her jeans and cardigans for some glass slippers and royal jewels?  Guess we'll have to see what happens.
