Kate made a quick wardrobe change to create a more polished look for her visit to the social enterprise.  She arrived wearing her grey Reiss 'Delany' coat.  You may recall she debuted the coat in December of 2013 when she visited the Shooting Star House Children’s Hospice.

I like this looks but I think that it seems just a tad complex. Of course the outfit was incredible, as always.

I have never thought about putting the puffy jacket under the Barbour..I am going to try it next time it is cold and rainy!

Kate's outdoorsy uniform is getting a little boring but I guess she wants to get good mileage out of her clothes. However, the outfit for the cafe visit isn't any better. It lacks style and imagination. The cut of the Reiss cut is contemporary but Kate makes it look dowdy.

I love the outdoor look, it suited the visit perfectly, especially to the Farm. Layering for extra warmth with the quilt jacket, brilliant. I am not a fan of skinny jeans, but the ankle boots combined with Reiss Delany coat worked well. The colour of the Cashmere sweater is gorgeous. I would add interest to the coat, with a brooch and cascading scarf for pop of colour. But I am a brooch and scarf girl from way back!

People seem to forget Kate is a real person, in the public eye 24/7. No one is going to take the perfect photo every second of every day, but she comes closer than any person I can think of. Kate could probably wear a feed sack and make it look good if she wanted to. That said, I think regular people really resonate with her Chilvers boots and Barbour jacket look. Particularly since they have some honest wear to them.
