EASTER OUTFIT INSPIRATION

Easter is nearly here so I thought I'd put together a couple Duchess-inspired outfits for the holiday!  For the first outfit I took inspiration from Kate's love of polka dot frocks to create an ensemble fit for an Easter Sunday church service.  The pink spotted a-line dress by Hobbs works well for both northern and southern hemisphere climates when teamed with black cropped jacket and suede accessories. Kate's Links of London 'Hope Egg' earrings are an apt choice for the Christian celebration!

SHOP THE OUTFIT: Dress | Jacket | Clutch | Hat | Earrings | Shoes

Below is a casual outfit perfect for the traditional Easter egg hunt with the kids!
