Princess Marie's Fashion & Style part 3: August 10, 2009 -

[Boris]

The hat is too large and unflattering on her. The coat must even be a few sizes too large - was it fitted on a woman six feet tall? - and its fabric looks cheap and stiff, as if it was cut out from cardboard.
In other words, I don't like this outfit on Marie at all. She's drowning in it, so it has the unfortunate effect of children playing 'dress up'.

[carlota]

i actually didn't think that was a mary outfit at all but all the contrary. it's safe, but i don't think the colour of the coat is the best for her, however, i'm quite keen on the hat and earring combination, just not with that coat. like boris, i also have the impression i hides her face too much and the combination with the coat hides her even more. it's a strange outfit in my opinion, but again it's quite a formal event where she can't use something very sophisticated but rather something classic. not my favourite, but appropriate. i'm looking forward to seeing the hat in another configuration.

[MelinaB.]

This is a nice and decent look. I wouldn't blame her for learning a few things from Mary. On the contrary, I consider it really smart. The hat doesn't flatter Marie's petite face, though.

[bertie5252003]

This is the best Marie has looked in ages IMO.... whether the coat is too long or the hat too big this is a far more flattering look and far more appropiate for her position.

I like this coat. It needs to be a tad shorter, but it is elegant. Even though it looks like a lampshade, I do like the hat. It is cute on Marie, and I like the color. The only thing that I really don't care for is her use of bronzer on her skin. Her skin looks somewhat orange.

[Patra]

The hat, IMO is 3 sizes too big, and the coat is 2 sizes to big. Not a fan of the stockings either. Tan & Black safe fashion choices. Boring, IMO

I like the colour, and the blouse, but I don't care for these pieces together.

Well, the outfit is modern, all pieces of the outfits are in harmony.
This is a good choice of Princess Mary!

[shanaz]

It is a pretty blouse.

[Parrothead]

Pretty blouse and pretty jacket, but they really don't go together. But still her beautiful smile makes you look away from the fact they really don't match. Glad she removed the jacket once inside the building.

[dazzling]

The pieces together actually look nice, too much grey but well put together. I like the jacket texture with the plain skirt. The top is pretty alone but not sure with the jacket.
Overall this is one of her best looks.

[pdas1201]

Way too much grey, a brighter piece may have made all the difference or a tailored jacket matching the skirt. I happen to be a fan of the minimalistic and overall elegant looks and this ensemble by Marie is anything but.

Marie is a pretty woman, and she is lucky enough to look pretty without much makeup. Plus she has the figure to carry off many a looks, she should take advantage of that. So far, I haven't really seen her in anything that has made me go Wow! IMO, the best is yet to come. She has great potential, I sincerely hope she reaches it.

[Duke of Marmalade]

As usual the outfit has been put together quite careless, the result is blah. Same goes for the hair, the top part is a mess.

Other than that Marie does her "duty", smiles when she has to and do what she has to do, but I never see any additional effort.

I think she should be given the benefit of the doubt in this case. She is new to the country, still learning the language (which is major part in getting to know a culture and its customs). So, without a firm grasp of the language, all she can really do is smile and try to act interested but not make a significant contribution to the conversation, thus, making her look uninterested and "wooden."

The only thing she is wearing I like is her blouse, the rest just doesn't seem to work on her.

Most of the time they way Marie styles herself for her engagements gives me the impression that she would rather be anywhere but there. I think she would be much happier if she could just be a housewife without all these extra events she is required to attend.

Maybe because she doesn't feel sure I mean language barrier. How long she can only smile and nod?

[Dierna23]

The blouse is very lovely IMO, so it the jacket. But not together. To me it still looks as if Princess Marie is trying - I hope, she'll find her own style pretty soon. She's a beautiful woman with a good built, she could look much better IMO.

[ANNIE_S]

I like the top and the skirt together, but not combined with the jacket. The shoes are great.

[lyndaW]

The most important thing is she seems to want to learn & understand, she doesn't receive any funds of her own (like Mary does) so all her clothing,etc funds come direct from Hubby.................
Those around her seem very much at ease in her company

[magnik]

I like her outfi but not all these things together. Next royal admire of ponytail.
Give her a time to learn the language and fashion. But in this second case we should remamber that she is not CP Mary and like we all she has her own fashion style/taste.
