Today The Duchess of Cambridge took her UK-wide "5 Big Questions" survey to Northern Ireland and Scotland, starting with a visit to The Ark Open Farm in County Down, Northern Ireland.
Kate meet with management, staff, and young children, as well as feed a lamb and handled ‘Sophie’ the corn snake. The Duchess spoke with local parents and grandparents about her landmark survey and their thoughts on the early years. Kate brought back a familiar casual look for the farm visit. She sported her trusty Barbour Waxed Defence Jacket.
She layered up with her pine green Seeland ‘Hawker’ quilt jacket beneath her Barbour.
Underneath the jackets, Kate debuted a new sweater. She wore the Pure Collection Cashmere Roll Neck Sweater in the Heather Cornflower colourway (£125).
The Duchess wore black skinny jeans paired with her beloved Penelope Chilvers Long Tassel Boots.
The Duchess then traveled to Aberdeen, Scotland for a visit to the Social Bite Café, which provides assistance to those affected by homelessness.
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.
On her feet the Duchess wore her Aquatalia 'Fab-Dry' Ankle Boots.

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.
