Thrifty Wife Happy Life

Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Kate Middleton Inspired Dress

September 27, 2017 by Katie Haller

Thrifty Wife, Happy Life- Kate Middleton inspired look
If you have been following my blog for a long time, you know how much I love Kate Middleton and her sense of fashion.  Her modest style is so timeless.  I love to recreate her looks.  I only wish that I could dress like her more often.  I always wished that I could own one of her beautiful dresses.  She always looks so classic at all her royal engagements. 

A few months back, I won a giveaway from one of my favorite Las Vegas-based blogs, Outfits & Outings.  It was for a $100 credit to Modique, an online boutique that sells modest, comfortable high-quality dresses.  Typically, my shopping budget wouldn’t allow me to splurge at a boutique-like this, so when I saw the giveaway and browsed through the beautiful dresses, I knew it would be a treat for me if I won.  Every now and again I get lucky, so I was so thrilled that I had the opportunity to pick out a dress of my choice.  I went with the Tara dress.  When I saw this style, I immediately thought of Duchess Kate.  I could totally see her wearing a dress like this.  It’s so simple, so classic and so chic.  I just had to do an outfit post on this beautiful dress.

If you love this dress, you should defiantly take a peek at Modique to see their other dresses!  I’m sure that this dress will be in my closet for many years to come.
*As a side note, this post was not sponsored by Modique in any way.  I simply wanted to share the beautiful dress that I won with my readers.

Today I’m updating a longtime favorite look with a maxi dress that has a little more shape and structure—but still has all the things I loved about the original. Same formula (maxi + denim jacket), just a bit more refined.

I have always loved cardigan sweaters. Lately I’ve been wearing them buttoned up, which is an easy way to update the style and wear it in a new way!
