Weekly Wrap-Up, Royal Tour Canada Special

8/10/2016

0 Comments

 
WOW, what a week it was!  The royal tour of Canada  was by far the most "adorable" of all the tours!  With the Cambridge tots joining their parents on the eight-day visit, it made for wonderful family moments!

The tour was also jam-packed with fabulous fashion, and now that I've had time to recover and recharge the sleep bank, I thought it would be fun to examine and deconstruct Kate's tour wardrobe.
But, first things first ... I want to know what you thought was Kate's best look of the Royal Tour. Cast your vote below!

What Kate Packed for the Royal Tour

I've deconstructed Kate's outfits and tallied up what she wore on the tour:
DRESSES

Kate packed a total of 5 dresses for the tour of Canada, which is far less than the 14 she wore for the   India/Bhutan royal visit in April this year.  We saw a mix of bespoke designer dresses from her go-to designers and new and unexpected brands.
