Let them eat cake - Part Deux



You may not be ready to re-create Marie Antoinette’s gowns yourself, but you certainly can sport her style – updated for the 21st century that is!

Shoes:

MA had approximately 3 new pairs of shoes per week. Here are two she would have loved

- D&G
Gold Brocade Shoes

- Nine West
Gold Buckle Peep Toe Pumps

Clothes:

- The casual J.Crew version of this
ruffle collared shirt is French menswear for us girls

- Pair this wool
Ulysses jacket with any scoop neck shirt, or if you’re extra brave, a ruffle collared shirt like the one above

Jewelry:

I always raid my grandmother’s closet for antique jewelry that has come back into fashion

- Brooches: This one is MA’s
monogram, you can’t buy it in the States, but they will ship it overseas just for you!

- Pearls: Being a pearl girl myself, I already have this one down. If you’ve always shied away from pearls, now is the time to wear them!

I love this
Tiffany Bracelet or the less extravagant version: pearl bracelet

- Anything gold and antique looking is also tres Marie Antoinette chic!
