 Anne has been famed for wearing the hat she wore to Zara's christening for years since. She just wears what's practical and doesn't keep up with fashions - she's a no nonsense person like her father.

Some of her old stuff looks stylish & chic so I'm with her on keeping it. Other items (like this jacket) are dowdy & do nothing for her so I wish she'd recycle it into a waistcoat or a cushion!

The bold part is mine. I am almost of the opinion that this is your wish result. It looks like it was originally a full length coat. Maybe the bottom got messed up and she had it shortened to get more wear out of it. To me it seems too long for a jacket even considering the longer jackets of the late 1980's - early 1990's.

You might be right but if she'd had it altered to modernise it, wouldn't she have had the shoulder pads removed? Perhaps it's wrong of me to call it a jacket. It's more what my mother would describe as a three-quarter length coat. I'm not so bothered about the length as the frumpiness of how it looks on her, when at other times she looks really chic.

I keep saying I want to get in her wardrobe & sort it out - she has a great figure & some beautiful clothes & I wish we'd see her in them more.

I know it's not her cup of tea; but I wish Anne would've worn a more evening style outfit for this occasion. She looks a little out of place in the group photo!

And I look at the group photo thinking Kate is a bit overdressed compared to everyone else.

I really like the purple coat though I wish the collar was all done in the heather color. Back when I was about 9 years old, I had what we called a jumper dress with a matching floral blouse in that shade of purple. Good memories.

That's a gorgeous colour on Anne!

That shade of red works wonderfully with Anne's skirt!

Anne is certainly wrapped up warm for Storm Ciara!
