always wear black shoes and carry a black handbag? She has such lovely clothes in beautiful colours but when you look down there are these same black shoes spoiling the line. I realise she problems has many such pairs and its not the same ones all the time and that they are handmade by elves and kissed by the fairies but I would love to see her with some summer colours to co-ordinate her outfit- I don't mean matchy-matchy but something lighter. I expect its just me that's bothered isn't it?
I have it on good authority that the Queen chastises her dogs when they are unruly by occasionally whacking them gently with her handbag. (She was observed doing this many years ago at a garden party.)
Oh! She must be really close to those little dogs. I would think she is a very loving person. George seemed so pleased to see her when she arrived for the Christening.
I have to admit she's usually well turned out. Occasionally I think, 'Oh no dear, your dresser let you down today,' but usually she looks smart and comfortable. She's found a style that suits her and she sticks to it.
Personally I think most of the older Royals, particulary Anne, look absoluly abismal in their choice of clothes. No excuse with the money and personal designers they have access to.
If I really like a pair of shoes I have also been known to buy another pair in another colour, e.g black, brown, blue. also been known for me to look down It has also been known for me to look down at my feet at work or on the way and see that, yes, one black and one brown !
The Queen is noted for being parsimonious (hope I got the spelling right), she never spends if she can avoid it because she hates waste. I would imagine that black shoes would be ok with any outfit and it would not be noticeable if she wore the same pair twice. If she wore them in a colour to match her outfit it might be noticed and remarked upon.
I don't blame her if she always has the same style if they are comfortable I wish the shoe shops would sell the same style year after year as I need comfortable shoes for my job, I just get a pair that suit and go back for another pair and find they are not is stock anymore. Not being in a position to have handmade shoes I just have to try another pair and get used to them.
