How to dress like a princess (Kate Middleton, to be exact)

When I ask clients which celebrity's style they admire the most, one name continually pops up: Kate Middleton. Sure, she is the Duchess of Cambridge and has a style wardrobe that even Vogue would be jealous of, but there are still budget-friendly ways to imitate her style - with or without the fancy title.

Kate's style is so enviable because she always looks put-together. Whether she is strolling the beach with Pippa or making a royal appearance with her prince, she makes sure her clothes are a good FIT, that the COLORS are a good match for her skin, and that she ties the whole look together with a THIRD PIECE.

I talk a lot about my "rule of 3's" - when you are wearing two items, you have clothes on, when you are wearing three items, you have an OUTFIT. Three pieces always looks for sophisticated and put-together than two. By adding a third pice (whether it be a jacket, vest, belt, scarf, etc.), you instantly pull the look together and go from "wearing clothes" to "wearing an OUTFIT."

See for yourself what a difference it makes in Kate's style. If you ever ask yourself "What would Kate wear"?. well here are some answers for you!
