MIX & MATCH

Kate's outfits are impeccable but can sometimes need a little tweaking for us "normal folk" to adapt for daily wear.   In this occasional segment, I show how you can create everyday repliKate outfits by mixing and matching key pieces with your wardrobe essentials! 

St. Patricks Day is just around the corner and unfortunately the Duchess will miss this year's traditional parade (boo) because she will be in on an official visit to Paris (yay!). 

After coming across this cute pine hued dress by Hobbs London (which I can see Kate wearing), it inspired the outfit collage below. It offers a modest approach to the Duchess' ceremonial-style St Patrick's Day outfits.
