We all have that one outfit we can't seem to toss away. For Kate Middleton, that would be her burgundy Paule Ka skirt suit (among a few other treasures). The Duchess of Cambridge first wore the outfit in 2012 but styled it a little differently when she visited the Action For Children center. Kate layered a black turtleneck underneath her blazer and accessorized with gloves. A pair of Stuart Weitzman boots completed the look, lending a more casual feel than heels.
The duchess seems to have an affinity for keeping around power woman suit sets like this one, and we totally get that. You never know when you'll need to pull one out again. The next time you think about throwing away such a sophisticated look, pull a Kate and keep it stocked in the back of your wardrobe, at least for a few more years.
