Style I Love: Dressing like a Duchess

Like everyone else on the internets, I adore The Duchess of Cambridge's personal style.  I love that she dresses like a normal person, and never seems overdressed for the occasion or lets the outfit wear her.  2011 has obviously been a huge year for Duchess Catherine, and she has debuted some great looks:

And since we all seem to be in agreement that her style is worth imitating, I decided to put together a little collection of Kate-inspired pieces that she might choose if she were on a sightly more common budget:

I'm loving that blazer, and have a similar pair of earrings that I love wearing with classic outfits.  What would you wear if you toured the world with your handsome husband while everyone speculated about your potential pregnancy?

Soapbox Time:  Please note that I did not refer to The Duchess as Kate Middleton because that is not her name.  She got a new name when she got married, and as a recently married person myself, I know it's annoying when people don't use it.  Let's try to be correct for my future BFF.
