Honestly, this whole thing looks great. It's not got a lot of bells and whistles -- which, a collection like this should not, as it's meant to made of basic outfits that women will use a lot, as building blocks of their professional wardrobe -- but it suits her.

Fun fact: You can't see them here, but she's wearing Diana's butterfly earrings again. One of the things that is always fun to me about covering Meghan and Kate is that moment where you think, "oh! I could wear that." This is a PERFECT "Oh! I could wear that" moment -- and I think it's incredibly savvy of her and the folks at Smart Works to recognize that and capitalize on it for good.

I love pictures of people waving! (I also pulled this because you can see her bracelets; Meghan does jewelry VERY well.) I was also thinking, I personally might have done a leopard belt here, to tie together the pants with her shoes but (a) I don't think Meghan is a leopard belt person and that might have been too flashy for this anyway, and (b) I'm probably mostly thinking that because I HAVE a thin leopard belt that would totally go with this outfit

Thanks to this photo guy for getting a snap of the shoes. They're Manolos. Do I need cognac Manolos for fall?!?! No -- I never leave the house. But, ah, fall fashion. My body is ready.
