Dress Like the Duchess: RepliKates for Zara Bling and Winery Checkered Gingham

Just a few quick repliKates for those who have the spring shopping bug! Kate dazzled us all in her priceless Nizam of Hyderabad necklace, but before we saw that, she wore a far more affordable Zara piece to almost equally stunning effect.


Although that piece sold out long ago, Banana Republic has a fantastic repliKate in their Crystal Collar necklace on sale for $79.50.

Kate arrived in Queenstown, New Zealand wearing a white and navy gingham blouse that was quickly identified as Gap's "fitted boyfriend." 



While the shirt may have sold out by now, not everyone was thrilled with it on closer inspection. Banana Republic has a very similar shirt, but in a more substantial fabric, that may peak your interest. Remember that Banana Republic is owned by the same company as Gap. BR's "fitted gingham" is a pretty close match for the Duchess's blouse. I tried on both the Gap fitted boyfriend and Banana Republic's close copy, and I bought Banana Republic on this one. It may be a matter of taste, but check it out if you are dying to recreate Kate's chic casual this spring!
