On June 29, 2021, The Earl and Countess of Wessex, named as the Earl and Countess of Forfar in Scotland, visited St James Quarter shopping district for a tour of the new area developed by Nuveen Real Estate which has transformed the east end of Edinburgh. St James Quarter is a retail, lifestyle and residential development in the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. The Countess wore a pleated silk midi skirt by Valentino.

Oh what a sweet, light, pretty skirt. It reeks of summer and I like that Sophie has paired it with white on top, which goes well with her blonde hair. (I also like the model's top).
ReplyDeleteMy only quibble is that I'd have preferred if she had chosen a lighter looking jacket - if she had to wear a jacket at all. It looks like she already has a pretty blouse underneath from the sleeves poking out.

Once again I agree with you entirely, Anon 9 13. Perfect summer outfit. I have no problem with the jacket. Even on a sunny dry day in Edinburgh it may be cold enough to need one, trust me! Whole outfit is just frothy, summery and lovely.
DeleteNo problem Annie M. I know that sunny days can also be cool enough to require a jacket. Had many of them myself. :)

Top marks today although I would have preferred the shoes a bit darker. They are too close to white to my taste or maybe they really are white. I cannot really see.
ReplyDeleteLike both the skirt and the top/jacket combo but not together. Skirt is feminine and has movement, top should have been closer fitting and better color-match. I like the top on the model, but would have worn a soft-white belt with Sophie's to match Sophie's shoes. Jacket is too long and ruins the lines of the skirt.
ReplyDeleteTop/jacket is structured and business-like, better with a pencil skirt or tailored slacks. Color of clutch is too bland. Hair would have looked better in an up-do, it's a bit fly-away in the breezy conditions. In other words, individual pieces are fine, but were not put together in the best way. S.M.
Nice outfit, well done Sophie. The skirt looks lovely and it has just the right length, it does not drown her, as some of her sometimes way too long skirts do. I also like the shoes. I would prefer a pink blouse under the blazer, for a better contrast.
ReplyDeleteAll in all a very nice fresh look.
Another good round. Nice skirt, earrings and love her hair down.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely and summery outfit. Sophie looks elegant and relaxed. I like the off white blazer but a light pink blouse to contrast the blazer would have been a better choice.

100% perfection!
ReplyDeleteAgreed 100%
DeleteAnd Prince Edward looks quite dapper also.
Off topic question? Will the Queen send Edward and Sophie to take up residence in Holyrood House/Palace?
Sophie porte à merveille cette jupe plissée en soie mais je pense que la veste en rose poudré aurait mieux convenu sur son haut blanc - Ravissante avec ses cheveux lâchés, je voudrais bien voir ses boucles d'oreilles de plus près de telle manière que je pourrai enregistrer leur image dans un petit fichier que j'ai créée !
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Valentino skirt in the prettiest of pinks. I really like the print and the cream jacket and shirt look so good with it. Sophie is looking great and these soft tones suit her so well.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful, classic summer look for C. Sophie. For once the skirt is not too long! I think they both look very good here. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteThis skirt is so lovely, the color and print are romantic and feminine without being prissy.
ReplyDeleteWell combined with the crisp jacket and top. Now, I must say that Sophie needs a good haircut, the color is lovely but it looks like an afterthought, unstylish and unpolished.

I'm not sure I like the jacket with the skirt but, they both look so happy and engaged in their work that I can give the jacket a pass.

I love this pretty skirt and its wonderful on Sophie! She looks terrific--as does Edward. What great representatives they are for HM and the UK.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect outfit! She looks lovely and they both look very happy.
ReplyDeleteLovely pink skirt by Valentino. Romantic and feminine. Her blazer gives more serious vibe to the flirty skirt. I hope to see this skirt again. Perhaps then teamed with a blouse or sweater.

Sophie looks smashing in these soft pastel hues.
ReplyDeleteEvery piece is so well balanced and with excellent tailoring.
Love her pumps as well.
Not sure about her hair, a bit strange on the upper part of her head.
Edward is handsome too.
They are such great assets for the BRF.

So gut hat sie mir schon lange nicht gefallen!
ReplyDeleteEin wunderschöner Rock!

perfect outfit for summer, skirt is lovely, breezy, summery. A tad too much white on top, maybe a pale pink blouse under the white jacket, or darker shoes. But overall she looks great. jj
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.
