oh what shall we wear to the the royal wedding of kate & william?

alas.
it seems as though my official royal wedding invite has been lost in the mail!
*sigh*
but fear not lovelies.
we'll be having our own fabulous royal wedding festivities here on the rikrak blog!
this week - you're invited to the royal wedding challenge: part 1!

that's right!
i want to see what you'll all be wearing {as guests} to the glamorous wedding of the decade!
i've included my 22 fabulous outfit changes here for you today. (22 different outfits for one guest should be enough, yes?)


they've readied the royal coaches.
the queen has invited us to stay as her guests at buckingham palace!

now all you have to do is show me the handmade or vintage delight you'll be wearing! i'll include your outfits in a follow-up post next week! woohoo!


just...
1. choose a fun frock or glamourous outfit (or something else) royal-wedding-worthy to wear. think sensational! {i suspect my lovely choices wouldn't actually meet the wedding dress code - but hey - we can play can't we!}

2. choose a fun accessory for the look.

3. cut & paste the direct links where i can find each item on the net from your 2-piece outfit into your comment below.

4. make as many 2-part outfits as you'd like (feel free to include goodies from your own work, too, if you' like!)

5. next week i'll include 10 or so of your looks in a follow up post, and i'll be sure to link to your lovely shop/site, too! great free advertising for creative, dressed-to-the-nines YOU!

6. and hey... if there are LOTS of entries, i'll get the random.org generator to pull a few for us to see!

and... stay tuned for the *royal wedding challenge* part 2 -  coming next week! 
you'll love it!


check out other fun party outfit challenges here like:



see you at Westminister Abbey, lovelies!

    So maybe I'll wear white to the wedding...in case something goes awry...and William (my husband's name by-the-way) is left standing, all alone, at the alter.
