I'm torn on what she wore for their afternoon school visit: Meghan switched into[ a sleeveless Roksanda dress](https://rstyle.me/~aFYzO?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (with her suede Stuart Weitzmans), and admittedly, at first I thought, "Huh, *another* solid blue thing?" I'm not sure if she's actually worn a lot of these or if it just feels like it because she wore a light variation on the theme the precious day. The paler stripe at the bottom does at least differentiate it, and it's a very nice dress; the color scheme evokes that of the uniforms of the students at Macarthur Girls' School. If that was the thinking, I like it; quite the opposite of the Queen's usual approach, Meghan blends with them well in the group photos, as if she is one of them. Which I think was the message -- a sort of "We're all in this together" kind of thing. She apparently commented on her shared experience at a girls' school, and they're the young royals trying to empower young people, so I think the dress must have been very well thought out from that perspective. Here's a bit from her informal chat, by the by, [courtesy of the DMIK](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6292113/Harry-Meghan-return-Sydney-head-Bondi-Beach.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io): > *'You guys all remind me so much of myself when I was growing up,' she told 14-year-old girls. 'I went to an all girls school which was incredibly diverse as well.* > > *'I think being around such empowered young women, it becomes something that you all just grasp onto to understand your world. It's made you confident, well-spoken. You have an intention set to really do something to change the world, and you have to keep it up.* > > *'It makes me so emotional. You're doing really, really good work and I'm so happy that we're here. We give you our full support.'* My one reservation: As noted, [she just wore a sleeveless blue dress yesterday](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/harry-meghan-day-three-melbourne-10-2018/). Plus, the stripe isn't visible in all photos, taking the uniqueness out of it altogether (a problem I've noted a couple other times, her wedding dress being one of them). With the uniform-matching in mind (assuming that's true), I *think* I'd have held the Dion Lee from Wednesday/Thursday to wear later in the tour, so that this one didn't feel quite like it was coming in the shadow of a sibling. And if it *wasn't* an intentional match to the school unis, then why not take the budgetary freedom that probably comes with a specialty royal tour and vary it a tad more? Roksanda is not short on frocks, nor is Dion Lee. \[Also, just as an anecdotal note, [this is also available in olive with a navy stripe](https://rstyle.me/~aFYBU?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); if not for the potential uniform-matching, that would've been a tough choice for her, as that's also right in Meghan's color wheelhouse.\] This visit was meant to be a surprise, apparently -- they told the girls it was a government minister coming -- but word leaked out anyway. Still, check out this reaction: > Safe to say that [#harryandmeghan](https://twitter.com/hashtag/harryandmeghan?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) turning up at MacArthur Girls High school in west Sydney was quite a surprise to the students!! Listen to the screams! Meghan changed into the Roksanda ‘Athena’ dress (hope it brought her wisdom...)
