My Royal Wedding Experience: Part 3
I'm back with my third and final royal wedding diary post. If you missed the first two recaps, hop on over to read part one and/or two before settling in for the final post.

Copy Kate Middleton’s Look for Under $25 at Shein
I've heard a lot about Shein over the past couple of years and have seen their styles on other bloggers and royal fans on Instagram. To be honest, the crazy low prices gave me pause.
