I definitely like Máx in her trademark brights, but soft pastels with a hint of pink in the jewels and a hat that's big brimmed without overtaking the scene is the perfect way to get back to work. Simple and lovely, no?

Elsewhere, in hat returns...

Mary's really been piling on the engagements lately, and this remixed combo of reused pieces earns an A+, I think. She must have an entire section of her closet devoted to dresses in this basic silhouette, but when it works, it works.

Then again, I'm so happy to see some proper princessing in action once more, I may be grading on a curve.
