The Duchess of Cambridge has delved into her capsule wardrobe again and recycled another piece for the opening of a new children's playground at Hampton Court Palace today.
Thrifty Kate wore a SS14 Michael Kors blue coat dress, teaming it with her trusty LK Bennett Fern courts and a box clutch.
Some of you may recognise her jacket from the royal couple's tour of Australia in 2014, which she returned home in, carrying Prince George in her arms. Sadly, for all fans of her style, it's now sold out.
Kate is no stranger to the American designer, having worn a skirt suit for a church service in Sandringham earlier this year.
She's also worn her draped wool crepe outfit on a number of occasions. She was first seen in the £815 'Peridot' dress by Serbian designer Roksana Ilincic, during her tour of the US in 2011 and again, for a glitzy bash at the Royal Academy of Arts, the following year.
The Duchess accessorised her look with a £995 silver pendant and £1,250 matching earrings from Mappin & Webb.
While her coat dress might seem too warm in the May sunshine, she has three royal engagements today and she's very cleverly layered up.
After the playground opening, the Duchess will attend a lunch for children's mental health charity Anna Freud Centre, followed by a visit to the National Portrait Gallery this evening.
Kate seems to be having a bit of an experiment with her style, of late, as we saw in an array of high street and designer outfits on the Royal Tour of India and Bhutan .
And we saw another relaxed look on the cover of Vogue, wearing a Burberry jacket and shirt, as she beamed at the camera. She also sported a pair of indigo dungarees by AG jeans, a red cashmere jumper and Dune's £140 navy Toulon boots during the shoot.
It's nice to see the Duchess going back to tradition for today's engagements but we're hoping she'll continue to shake things up a bit, in the fashion stakes.
