There's an Australian company i buy a lot of resin broches from, and they sell poppy broches/necklaces/earrings for Remembrance Day that are too cute. A portion of the profit goes to some Australian veteran nonprofit. (i have one in white).

I love that greenish blue suit Maxima's daughter is wearing. That color is fantastic.

I love Maxima and all her girls, but especially the green suit and Maxima's outfit.

If I see a vet selling/handing out a poppy, I get one. It reminds me of my grandma who sold poppies for the American Legion.
Also I love Flanders Field. I recited it in middle school for a class.

I don’t think the poppy is performative. It’s an important symbol to military families. The sale of poppies goes directly to veteran funds. It’s an acknowledgment of what military and veterans go through. Less than 2% of Americans now serve and less than 10% of those actually become career retirees, so we’re all much less connected as a society to the military than we used to be.
I’m not normally all YAY MILITARY but H retired less than a week ago and we’re roughly a week from Veteran’s Day, and I can guarantee you it means a lot to people who have served.

I meant people asking other people where their poppies are. Not the existence of the poppy/it being worn by people who choose to. Congratulations to you/your H on his retirement! I knew that was coming up, but I blanked on it happening so soon. Oh yeah, no. Asking people where their poppies are, if they’ve donated, etc. is definitely A LOT. Too much. I see what you mean now. And thank you! The movers are currently in our house so I’m in a fighting mood I guess 😉

Then people will know we’re scrappy people who have beef. 😂 I heard you take shots of vodka and then run through Flanders Field with a weed whacker.

The gown is beautiful and I love the color, but the middle draping is hanging in a way that looks a bit misshapen, which is unfortunate because it’s so pretty otherwise.

Yes, the part on her left hip/lower torso. This bothers me too - otherwise I think that dress would be perfection on her. Love the color. ETA - I love the bracelet too.

Do not like the double breasted. Also, I'm more interested in the thighs in the first picture, in the top left corner

At least the coat is a rewear (I'm pretty sure).
Gah, the buttons.

Based on the 2nd pic it looks like there could be a slit in the back and someone forgot to cut the holding threads at the bottom I liked the red Spencer coat she wore a few weeks ago better, but I think it wasn't as long
