She's a practical princess. Kate Middleton (technically Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge) wore the same pink pleated dress twice in 11 days, repeating the $2,000 Emilia Wickstead frock at a luncheon at Windsor Castle on May 18 and a tea party at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. "I've worn it before, as you all probably know," Kate Middleton told reporters on Tuesday.

The Duchess is winning over fashionistas and ordinary folks alike with her pretty yet practical style. Last July, she wore a green Diane von Furstenberg "Maja" dress to the British Consul-General's residence in Los Angeles, The New York Daily News reports. She repeated the same dress at Zara Phillips' pre-wedding party two weeks later. How often do you repeat outfits?

At least she is getting some wear out of the dress. Most royals wear an outfit once and never again, after paying large amounts of money for them. That is a flagrant waste of money in my opinion.

We don't know if the outfit is the same one or two different ones that look the same. For example, I have 16 pairs of blue jeans.

I have several favorite shirts that I wear all the time. The same goes for pants.

About once a week, rotating all my dresses. Who has unlimited closet space? Certainly the Duchess of Cambridge would but she is a practical woman and she wears and re-wears what she likes. It is all good.

That's not really the same outfit, though. Is it? It's the same style, yes, but it's not the same dress. Nothing wrong with wearing the same outfit more than once.

Who cares what I wear and who's business is it? It depends on what you are doing. Sitting in a car vs working in the fields? I think I'll wear the clothes two or three times before I waste water washing clothes that aren't even dirty yet.

Actually I have around 25 tee shirts, 7 button up shirts, 10 pairs of shorts, 4 jeans, 3 dress pants (I never wear) umpteen pairs of underwear , I have no idea how many socks and several pairs of shoes. (I like shoes)

But I really do laundry twice a week. Friday and Monday.

and 3 bathing suits.

I think it's fine that Kate does that. It's a nice dress. It would be a waste to only wear it every now and then.

In all honestly, I don't keep track of how often I wear clothes. I have enough T-shirts to cycle through them in about a month, maybe a bit longer, but my favourites get worn after every wash and I only have four pairs of jeans, so some are twice a week. That's not including my school uniform pieces, which get worn seven times a week. :P

I can't afford to buy a new outfit for every week. I mix and match alot.

I could be wrong while the dress looks simlilar Iam not sure if its the same....? look at the neckline , the right one seems to have bottons on the side of the top, one is slightly darker then the other... BUT even if it is the same, within 11 days ... All that does is show that shes a little grounded & real, & not over wasteful as someone else in her postion could be. good for her.

It's the same, I think: it looks lighter in one photo because of lighting and camera-quality.

Even a princess is entitled to have a favorite dress. If I had that dress, I would probably wear it often :)

I am lucky enough to have enough clothing (although soon it might be too big on me...) that I don't have to repeat an entire *outfit*, like, ever. I mix and match a *lot* of stuff. I actually don't have a ton of clothing, but it's enough. Granted, that might change soon...soon, most of my clothes are going to be too big on me, and frankly, I don't have the money to buy any more...

La to myblood... 2012/06/01 23:40:03

I have that problem at the moment. Bf is constantly telling me to wear tighter clothes, and all my old clothes are a bit big, and I can't afford to go buy a ton of new clothes. I already have *so many* clothes.
