Royal Tour of North America: Day 11 - Kate in Navy and White in L.A.

And we're baaack...to the navy and white, that is.

Can we be honest for a second, KMidd?

We'd be lying if we said we were feeling this outfit.

What with crochet being involved and all.

May be best to leave it at that.

We're not even sure why crochet gives us the shakes.

Probably because it gives us flashbacks of the

palazzo pants we sported in elementary school.

Kate's pleated white skirt is the Whistles Dobby Pleated Skirt, currently available at John Lewis. There are photos of the same navy and white crochet top that Kate is wearing floating around the interwebs that clearly show a Whistles label, but, to date the company is denying the shirt is theirs.

Cute, right?

Kate accessorized with her new diamond and sapphire earrings, as well

 as those mystery navy pumps and nude clutch and a half-up bun 'do.

William and Kate were flown to Canada on the dime of the Canadian government, but it appears that they were on their own to find their way back. Rather than opting for a private jet the royal couple decided to fly commercial instead--albeit it in first class.

So, we think we'll take a little break to process all this Kate Mania (we've had enough of mystery nude clutches and unidentified ruffled blouses for now). We hope you'll join us as we continue to follow Kate Middleton's--rather, the Duchess of Cambridge's--style evolution in the months and years to come.

Girls, let's talk. Here's the thing, we're fans of Kate's penchant for coat dresses, but sometimes we think the style might veer into Camilla territory (not good when you're 29). The dove grey coat and matching silk dress that the Duchess of Cambridge sported at the Order of the Garter ceremony is evidence of this. Yes, the colour is understated and pretty, the embroidery is delicate, but it's all so...boring. So we've-seen-it-all-before.

Both Kate's grey dress and coat are by Katherine Hooker. According to the designer the Buxton Dress is "cut on the bias in Mercury crepe silk satin" and the Buxton Coat is made of Ash Simla silk.

Kate Middleton's grey suede pumps are the Malone by Rupert Sanderson. (Confirmed on the designer's Facebook). She also wore a cross necklace we've seen her sporting for many years now.

Kate's hat is by Rachel Trevor-Morgan and she's wearing the Kiki Mcdonough Grace Topaz and Diamond Stud Earrings.

Kate's suede clutch at the Order of the Garter

ceremony is the Carole by Emmy Custom.

It's the same bag that mum Carole sported at the royal wedding, along with shoes and a coat-and-dress combo very similar to what her daughter was wearing at the Order of the Garter Service. We like that the Middleton ladies swap clothing and accessories. Refreshingly normal.

But, when you're barely 30 and already dressing like your mom we'd definitely say your look is a little...dated. Too old Kate! The look is elegant but just too old.
