Looks like Kate Middleton has a packed schedule this week in cold, blustery London! Yesterday, she stepped out to a charity event in a repeat coat dress by Orla Kiely, and this morning, Kate visited a crime prevention non-profit in a pleated skirt outfit (think she saw our slideshow?!).


And not sure if it's proper to say this about the Duchess of Cambridge, but her legs look uh-mazing.

Kate paired a navy moto-detail jacket by Max Mara with her knife-pleated mini-skirt, also by Orla Kiely, for modernly refined ensemble. (It's actually pretty amazing that her navy separates were the same shade--magical princess powers?) She accessorized with tones-of blue suede pumps, a clutch, and gloves, plus sheer tights. All the better to show off those toned legs... and then a gust of wind blew through the area.

The skirt is really nicely lined, right? And it's okay, Kate's Marilyn incident was totally PG and she took it in stride, like a true royal.
