Dress Like Kate: Installment #3

One thing I love about Kate is her style. It is classic, timely, and modest. She has great pieces that can be mixed and matched and worn more than once. Unfortunately, most of us don't have Kate's budget, so I went on a mission to find affordable, inspired-by-Kate pieces. Make sure to check out Installments #1 and #2!

Kate's nude Riess dress was a huge hit. She wore it at Buckingham Palace when meeting the President and First Lady of the United States. This was one of Will and Kate's first appearances after their honeymoon in 2011. Nude is a very hard color to pull off so I picked the Tea Time After Time dress that is in a beautiful deep purple. It still offers the same body hugging, wrap, small sleeves, and rouching features as the Riess dress. Just add some black pumps like Kate did!

Kate loves geometric patterns and wearing satin to dress things up. The Out and Turnabout Dress adds in both these elements. It features a geometric pattern, skirt flare, and sleeve length like the Hobbs dress and the belt feature of the Hobbs and Christopher Kane Coat Dress. The Out and Turnabout dress is a beautiful blue silk just like Kate's coat dress!

Kate has worn her navy blue Smythe blazer countless times and have paired it with countless tops and bottoms. This is one of her most versatile pieces. I love how she paired it with a ruffled top underneath. It takes a traditionally masculine item and pairs it with a very feminine item. Check out the 9XIS Boyfriend Blazer and Allegra K Rouched Front Blouse. Wear them with your favorite pair of jeans and you'll have a perfect Kopy Kate outfit!
