Life
Diana, Princess of Wales, was known as The People's Princess. While terribly missed, it seems there's a new royal enjoying that title, too, and she's not even old enough to spell it. Princess Charlotte, Princess Diana's granddaughter, is becoming a crowd favorite, and it's not just because she's great at waving and has a cheeky disposition. People truly love her style (which is really more of her mom Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge's style), and are on the hunt for Princess Charlotte inspired clothes. I can't say I blame them. I mean, what's cuter than pleating, cardigans, tiny socks with Mary Janes, and smocking?
Charlotte definitely has a classic look about her, and the good thing is, those timeless pieces never go out of style. When my own daughter Alice was a baby, I filled her closet with sweet little cardigans, cable-knit tights, and perfectly smocked dresses, knowing that if I ever had another little girl, they would all get used again. Now that I am pregnant with our second daughter, I can't wait to continue our love for versatile, classic pieces and create matching outfits for both of our girls. I mean, one baby in a smocked, floral dress with a cardigan is cute enough, but two? My heart can't take it.
So if you're looking for some Princess Charlotte inspired clothes, here are some in the same style and vein as the littlest princess, but with your "commoner" budget in mind. You're welcome.

Classic Bows
Whether your little girl has just a smidge of hair or a head full of it, you can rock some tiny, classic bows like Princess Charlotte. Again, get a bunch in every color so there's one always matching, and keep the look simple and timeless. You don't need those big southern bows this time — just a dainty, solid colored style will do.

Lacy Socks
I'm afraid mismatched Doc McStuffins and Paw Patrol socks won't work here if you're going for a Princess Charlotte look. But luckily, your kid's socks don't have to be super fancy. White, lacy socks that can peek out over the top of her shoes are all you need, and you can literally find them anywhere.

Cable Knit Tights
I mean, is there anything more cozy than a pair of cable knit tights? They're the ultimate fall and winter accessory, so stock up on several different colors so your kid can wear all those sweet smocked dresses throughout the year without freezing their tiny legs off.

Timeless Coat
Your darling's going to need a coat at some point, so might as well grab one in a classic shape and silhouette. Timeless coats like this one go with literally everything, so you'll only need one to power through the winter and make a seriously cute fashion statement.
