Pippa At The French Open

So lately I have been thinking - how great it must be to be "Pippa". She is suddenly, literally, one of the most famous women in the world. She gets all of the perks of her famous sister with none of the downside of the pressures of being a royal. She is at the top of the Google search engines. Women and men everywhere are watching her every move. She is 27, attractive, wealthy and connected. All of this being true, then why oh why, on God's green earth, would she show up at the French Open wearing THIS?:

This outfit might be worthy of a run to the corner market. Perhaps the world has thrust the moniker of style icon upon this young lady too hastily? I was already beginning to believe that we were giving these Middleton sisters way too much credit in the style department. The thing is, I can understand Kate's more conservative choices. I truly believe it will be interesting to watch how she meshes her personal style with being a royal. But, Pippa! Pippa has no excuse for wearing yawn inspiring frocks, boring shoes and a purse my grandmother would carry. The world is watching you Pippa. You can make that work for you or not. I'm not saying you need to start dressing for attention, merely that if you are already getting so much attention, for goodness sake - take the time to throw on a necklace! Give us something! Otherwise, we will start paying attention to someone else. Oh, wait . . . hmmm. Could be she is a very clever girl. No, who am I kidding? She just needs a stylist. Stat.
