Funemployment and RepliKates

So. I have a lot to catch y'all up on, don't I?

As Maria would say, let's start at the very beginning:

We got engaged.

Life with this guy is pretty sweet. 

We bought a house in Baltimore.

Baltimoreans! 

We moved to Baltimore.

We stopped off in Shenandoah, Virginia en route to Maryland. 

I have no job--yet--one starts in December-ish and I had an interview today for another one, hooray!

In the interim, I've managed to keep myself busy by finding you all some fun Looks for Less options if, like me, you think that Duchess Kate can do NO wrong. Cause, really, she can't.

Without further adieu.

Kate's most recent look was this stunning plum lace Dolce & Gabbana dress. It's a mere $2,800, so, if you don't need to pay rent or a mortgage or anything, it's right up your alley. If, you're a mere mortal, might I suggest this Tadashi Shoji Sequin Lace Dress? It's $298 from Nordstrom and would make a gorgeous holiday party dress.

 Temperley of London is hands down one of my favorites on ze Duchess--next to Jenny Packham, of course. This blue dress has long been one of my favorites on Kate--it screams femininity. She looks perfect--per usual. If the real version isn't in your budget, this darling Ted Baker frock is pretty darn close. And who can say no to cut out lace? Not I, my friends, not I. 

 Now, this is a look I picked up for myself. If it's floral, I want it. Kate wore this blue floral LK Bennett dress in Canada as a newlywed and it fit her perfectly--that cut, am I right? If you want that look for yourself, Lord & Taylor has this pretty in purple Adrianna Pappel sheath dress.

Speaking of pretty in purple, we all remember when she dazzled in Alexander McQueen and Jimmy Choos at the BAFTAs, right? Swoon. I'm basically giving my hair and makeup girl that picture and if she can't make me look like a redhead version of that for my wedding, she's fired. I own zero Alexander McQueen, but, for $117, this ASOS dress may take up residence in my closet very soon. Now. I just need an occasion to wear it! Thursday sounds good, right? 

Happy shopping, y'all! Tiara is sold separately, of course.
