Day 52: A Going-Away Outfit for Kate

The going-away outfit is one tradition I'd love to see revived, and Kate Middleton is the perfect person to bring it back in a big way. In 1981 Princess Diana chose a pink going-away ensemble by David Sassoon. For Kate, I've selected some chic separates by Alexander McQueen (in case you missed the big news---and Alison's blog post---it's fairly certain Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen is Kate's wedding dress designer). Kate would look ravishing leaving her wedding reception in this sophisticated cream-coloured coat, dress and pumps, all by Alexander McQueen. By the way, I found all of these wonderful pieces at Net-a-Porter, so feel free to start shopping for your very own post-party outfit...
