Kate wore her bespoke grey Catherine Walker dress, first seen on an outing with The Queen in March last year.

To commemorate the anniversary, The Duchess of Cambridge has taken portraits of two Holocaust survivors with their grandchildren. 
The images depict the connection between a survivor and younger generations of their family, who will carry the legacy of their grandparents. The portraits will be part of a new exhibition which will open later this year, bringing together 75 powerful images of survivors and their family members to mark 75 years since the end of the Holocaust.
Kensington Palace also shared behind-the-scenes photos of the Duchess when she met Holocaust survivors Steven Frank and Yvonne Bernstein ahead of the photo shoot at Kensington Palace.

In the above photos, the Duchess is wearing a plaid midi skirt with a black turtleneck top. The skirt is the Gucci pleated checked wool-twill midi skirt. A big thanks to Georgie’s Mum for the ID. 
The only other identifiable pieces are her tweed J.Crew Avery Heels and Daniella Draper Personalised Gold Midnight Moon Necklace.
While it may seem frivolousness to comment on Kate's clothing for today's sombre commemorations, this blog is solely dedicated to cataloging Kate's sartorial choices.

The Duchess of Cambridge continued to promote her 'early years' landmark survey today following yesterday's announcement of the project.
Kate was at the Ely and Careau Children’s Centre in Cardiff as part of her 24-hour tour of the country to launch '5 Big Questions' on the under fives.

She joined a baby sensory class at the centre to hear about the support that parents receive.
The Duchess then made a visit to HMP Send, where she spoke to some of the women she met during a visit to the prison in 2015, who have since been successfully rehabilitated, released and are rebuilding their families, in addition to women currently at the prison.

The nationwide survey is part of the Duchess' ongoing Early Years Initiative, and the aim of the new project, in her own words: “I want to hear the key issues affecting our families and communities so I can focus my work on where it is needed most. My ambition is to provide a lasting change for generations to come.”

Kate wore a patterned blouse and trousers for today's outing. She debuted Tabitha Webb's 'Pansy Pussybow' blouse in green chevron (£295). Made in the UK, the silk top is now available for pre-order (with thanks to What Kate Wore for the ID). 
It appears the Duchess wore her navy suede Emmy London 'Josie' pumps.
Kate complemented the blouse with her green onyx Monica VinaderSiren Wire Earrings.
There was a new piece of jewellery on her wrist. It's not very often we see Kate wear a bracelet so it was a nice surprise to see her accessorise with a Halcyon Days 'Maya' Torque Aquamarine and Gold Bangle (£110) - ID by UFO No More.

Halcyon Days is a British company specializing in fine enamelware, and it holds three Royal Warrants as suppliers of Objets d’Art. The Maya Torque bangle is a stylish open-end design with a hint of art deco where the twisted metal meets the aquamarine enamel finish.
