Many on the Sartorialist commented on her straw hat, but the photos in French magazines that I saw showed many women in straw hats, even Princesses Caroline and Stephanie. So that can't be all that inappropriate. I also saw one other woman in the photos in flat silver sandals. I don't care if she wears flat shoes or not. She's mentioned that people complain if she wears any heels as she's so tall. You can't please everyone. That said, the dress isn't as flattering on her as her usual clothes. Ruffles are not her best look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-48501188779906424812011-07-17T01:13:08.267+02:002011-07-17T01:13:08.267+02:00Nine looks much more appropriate then Ines.

Jeff Bridges played the main character and Annie pots was his estranged wife. <br /><br /> Annie says, "I'm going to Dallas to spend a few thou."<br /><br />Jeff replies, "Good!

Not sure about the straw hat either.

Until recently, when I saw several ladies rocking graphic Ts with blazers and dressy slacks or jeans. It's a great casual/weekend look.
