Kate-Inspired By... graphic lace dress + blazer

For a December 2011 concert Catherine wore a Zara black lace Zara dress.  She accessorized the cream with black lace dress with lots of black-on-black, including her black Ralph Lauren cropped blazer, which we've seen before.


Eliza J, ever the Kate fashion watchers, has a  similarly styled outfit via Nordstrom.  The item listed is actually just the black jacket, which I don't even think is that similar to Kate's, and unfortunately there is no listed information on the dress.
But the styling sure is interesting and definitely very Kate Inspired.
The blazer retails for approximately $78, U.S.

Eliza J via Nordstrom - ruched sleeve blazer.
I did manage to find a dress that was similar to Kate's lace-patterned dress in this form of this long sleeved number.  Just add a blazer and the look is complete.
This dress retails for approximately $99, U.S.

Lovemarks via Dillards - floral print lace dress.

Just in case thigh high hemlines aren't your thing, you can even find a more appropriate for every day longer length like this Jessica Howard combo.  The black and white paisley print mimic the lace pattern of Kate's though this one is much more graphic.  And of course a black topper completes it.
This look retails for approximately $90, U.S.

Kate-Inspired By... blue + blazer

Kate has long favored a blue and black combo, even since before becoming duchess: blue dress worn with a dark blazer.



This is a combination that is so easy to repli-Kate its almost laughable: blue dress + dark top and you're done.
In fact, retailers will even put it together for you.
Take this Antonio Melani look below, that pairs a blue sheath dress with a black cropped cardigan.  The sheath style dress with 3/4 sleeves really looks like something Kate herself would wear.
And presto, you've got a Kate-Inspired look and you didn't even have to put it together yourself.

Even this put together look from Sears manages to capture the spirit of a Kate inspired look by combining a blue tinged wrap style dress with a black blazer and a clutch.  And we all know Kate loves blue, loves wrap dresses, loves to pair outfits with blazers, and of course loves her clutches.
