Kathy Cambridge may or may not have a "real" job,
but her outfit choices can teach us all a few things. The Duchess consistently
nails proportions, classic looks, and perfect tailoring.
Coats
The perfect jacket is like a cherry on top of an outfit sundae.
Pick a belted coat for a feminine shape. Don't be afraid to add your own belt
for a custom look! Picking a coat that can be worn to the office and to the
grocery store is budget friendly and expands your outfit choices. If the
Duchess can repeat outfits, so can you!

Hem
We may all not be royalty,
but that doesn't mean that our appearances aren't scrutinized. Hem length can make or break an outfit. However, mastering
hem length doesn't come easily. Too long = stubby legs. Too short = getting
attention for all the wrong reasons.
Kate learned early on that
short skirts wouldn't fly with Grandma Elizabeth.Take
a cue from grown-up Kate and embrace sleek, modest styles that cover your legs
but still accentuate your waist.

Shoes
Pumps
High enough heel to keep your
legs looking good, yet short enough to be comfortable and look daytime
appropriate.... easier said than done. Yet, the Duchess seems to master this
look with nearly every public appearance.
Duchess Pick: LK Bennet Sledge Pump $345
Closed toe, small platform,
moderate heel... Well done Kathy. Well done.
Boots
Wearing heeled boots to work
may seem risque. However, with tights and a modest hem, they will look
downright chic.
Duchess Pick: Aquatalia Rhumba Boot $418
The chunky heel and suede
material keep this boot out of hooker territory and solidly in the comfortable,
cool weather category.
