Kate Middleton is one of the most stylish ladies in the United Kingdom. But even better, plenty of her clothing choices don't cost an arm and a leg, showing that she's not just about big-name brands. One of the most recent skirts that she showed off was both modest and sexy at the same time — and available at a store that you might have seen at your local mall.
The Duchess of Cambridge was spotted on January 22 wearing a long leopard-print skirt. The look was stunning. Paired with a black long-sleeve turtleneck top, she proved that animal print could actually look elegant. For those who might not have been into the style beforehand, this is a fresh take on it.
Entertainment Daily tried to track down the skirt and found that it was available at Zara. While stores may still be carrying it, it was currently unavailable online . That said, the last price it was listed for was 9.99 GBP. Converted to dollars, that's only a little over $13. You might have been able to buy Kate's new wardrobe staple for less than the cost of lunch out .
That might inspire you to look at Kate Middleton's wardrobe just a little closer. You can very easily mimic her style at a discount. Here are five skirts she probably already has in an online cart right now.
