As I did when Lady Diana Spencer married Prince Charles, I'll wake up bright and early to watch the ceremony on television. (Note to self: reinstate cable TV by late April.)
I don't see myself being moved to wear a Kate-inspired article of clothing (or nail polish), though. For me, Diana will be the royal fashion touchstone, even though I couldn't imagine ever wearing "her" black sheep sweater that's been in my closet since 1983.
But look above: See by Chloe has given us Sloane Ranger (circa 1980) wannabees a terrific option, via the sheep scarf.
True, there's no black sheep on it. but one could easily embroider over one of these white sheep and add green eyes.
And if any further proof is needed regarding the chic of sheep, just look at this darling black lamb in her own red sweater:

I love Diana's cardigan, such a tounge in cheek political statement.
Wait, what, I'm tired, are you saying you have a version of Di's sweater? You MUST wear it!
WendyB--I do have one, from 1983. And I did wear it back then, adding a white collar and black bow in homage!
That must have been the national sweater of Canada -- I had one too. I think there were about 100 around my university campus.
I don't know if I still have it -- I should check my trunk.
Christine
Fergie ought to get one in black, her being the black sheep and all.;-)
Good call Belette; the scarf *does* come in black/gray!
Coffee--Seems like Diana was assessing her status even then, no?
Christine--Where was your university? I bought mine during my first year in Ottawa, but don't remember seeing other black sheep about campus . . .
Adorable!
Miss C -- I went to Queen's University, in Kingston, Ontario.
I think that Kate will be even more of a royal fashion touchstone than Diana. I love the clothes that she wears.
