Here are the facts:

 
Sunday, April 6, 2014:  The photographs of me in this Tory Burch ensemble were taken in new York City. 
 
Tuesday, April 8, 2014:  Kate Middleton is seen wearing a very similar Tory Burch dress in new Zealand. 
 
Am I saying that she copied me?  I mean, I think we can all agree that the facts speak for themselves.  I don’t want to make accusations, but it’s pretty obvious.  To make matters worse, she of course had to out-stage me by accenting with the tiniest, cutest future monarch alive.   
 
I can’t compete with that. 
 
In other, less delusional news, you may have observed that I recently changed my instagram manage from @theclassycubicle to @maryorton.  I know, big moves.  For those of you confused by this change, have no fear, the content is still the same, just the name has been altered.  On instagram, I chronicle both office-ready looks that are included on the blog here, and much more, including weekend ensembles and general sartorial inspiration.  To avoid confusion about whether everything depicted on instagram is work-worthy, I made a decision to make the switch.  Thanks for following along!
