Happy International Women's Day to us all. I keep thinking of something Laura Brown put on her Instagram yesterday: "[So cool that ladies get a whole day out of 365.](https://www.instagram.com/p/BuunGt6heiP/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)" (As you can imagine, the comments were all over the map, including some dudes complaining that they don't even get one day, ignoring that (a) this isn't a federal holiday and (b) EVERY DAY IS MEN'S DAY.) But since you asked, I'd like equal pay.

It seems I woke up salty today.

The following is very apt news for today, given that this event is the International Women's Day Queen's Commonwealth Trust panel discussion, an event which has a lot of nouns in its title:

> On [#InternationalWomensDay](https://twitter.com/hashtag/InternationalWomensDay?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) The Duchess of Sussex has become Vice-President of The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust.

Fun fact, today Meghan's brooch -- and YAY FOR A BROOCH! -- is the logo of the Queen's Commonwealth Trust. I hope this event opens a new frontier of Meaningful Brooch Wearing for us all.

I enjoyed this clip from today's discussion. Meghan is extremely smart -- and yes, she should definitely DEFINITELY stay off Twitter.

> VIDEO: The Duchess of Sussex on why she doesn’t ‘read anything’ on social media or newspapers. Meghan said: ‘It’s our responsibly. We make a choice on what we click on.’ ‘But I do read [@TheEconomist](https://twitter.com/TheEconomist?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)’ she adds to [@annemcelvoy](https://twitter.com/annemcelvoy?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) ![#IWD2019](https://twitter.com/hashtag/IWD2019?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) [@queenscomtrust](https://twitter.com/queenscomtrust?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) [pic.twitter.com/e46MEKXFyq](https://t.co/e46MEKXFyq?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Listen, I may not always love what Meghan's wearing but there's never any controversy about her brains:

> Video: is feminism only for feminists? “No” says [#Meghan](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Meghan?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). “There’s nothing threatening about a woman coming up to the same level, it’s our safety in numbers. Men are part of the conversation... my husband certainly is!” [#InternationalWomansDay2019](https://twitter.com/hashtag/InternationalWomansDay2019?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) [#IWD2019](https://twitter.com/hashtag/IWD2019?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) [pic.twitter.com/ZcYo2ZDakB](https://t.co/ZcYo2ZDakB?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

But as for what she *is* wearing! [The dress is Reiss -- it's not a maternity dress and it's also, as I type this, not yet sold out](https://rstyle.me/+OYqghR65MCuHN5zXJt1TSQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). It's obviously much roomier when you don't have a fetus percolating underneath there. (It's also got long sleeves, for those curious.) The blazer is her old McQueen blazer, [which you might remember from this look,](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/meghan-markle-is-really-leaning-into-pants-02-2018/) which is one of my all-time favorites of hers. [The bag is CUTE and it's Stella](https://rstyle.me/+v5lLEz8f9%5F3rD%5FnwMPUW2g?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and also a regular standby of hers. [The heels are also classic Manolos](https://rstyle.me/+esC7qmh6E5C8aLJeMbpCiw?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and must be very trusty because she trots them out a lot. (I got all my fashion credits [from Meghan's Mirror](https://www.meghansmirror.com/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) today; thank you, as ever, ladies!) Let's take a closer look in the slideshow, shall we?
