Millinery.

When Josie received her invitation to the Royal Wedding, naturally her mind went to hats, as any young girl's mind would. After all, a fashionable hat was required dress for the women. Not just a hat, mind, clothes too, but a hat was in order. Her choices were limitless. Her mind traveled back to the hats of days past...


There was the hat she wore with the pink and purple ribbons

There was the unfortunate duck and chick beanie

Then of course was the hat she wore to the Kentucky Derby

Then the dreadful hat worn begrudgingly to celebrate the dog's birthday

Let us not forget her Daddy's favorite

But in the end, Josie decided none of these hats would do, and there simply wasn't enough time to shhhhedule an appointment with Philip Treacy. Alas, she declined the invitation and watched the Royal Wedding from her home here in the States.


Caroline, on the other hand, attended and in her usual brash style, wore these:

Maybe a risk, but I still think she looked far better than certain other "fashionable" princesses...

Just sayin.
