MIX-AND-MATCH

I have received multiple requests for advice on how to incorporate Kate's style in every day life.  Kate's outfits are always impeccable but can sometimes be a little too formal for most of us to wear on a daily basis.  In this new occasional segment, I'll show how you can create everyday repliKate outfits by mixing and matching key pieces!

Below I show an example of how to casually wear a repliKate of the Paul & Joe cape. Simply team it with your favorite pair of blue skinny jeans and wedges! You'll need a carry-all tote to hold your daily essentials.  Add a hint of bling with a sparkly pair of stud earrings and keep track of the time with a distinctive bracelet watch.

SHOP : Cape $79.99 | Jeans £41.30 | Wedges AU$49 | Watch $63.70 | Tote Bag £16.50  | Earrings $26
