At this point, most of us can agree that Kate Middleton is practically perfect. I mean, just look at that hair flip.

Last week, when Will and Kate visited Canada, her outfits were always amazing. I spent way too much time looking at her outfits for each day; it became my new favorite way to procrastinate. If you’re anything like me, most of what she wears isn’t exactly affordable. Luckily, it’s not too hard to find similar clothes for a price that’s better for poor university students.
Here are some ideas for Kate-inspired clothes from their visit to Canada if you’re on a budget. Also, many of these stores are close to campus (H&M, Forever 21, Hudson’s Bay, Charming Charlie), or have cheap shipping to Canada – yay!
Day 1 – Arriving in Victoria
Dress:
ASOS, $43.88
This dress isn’t super-similar to Kate’s, but if you like the structure and elegance of Kate’s dress, it’s a good alternative.
Brooch:
YesStyle, $13.90
Earrings:
Charming Charlie, $6
Shoes:
Forever 21, $26.90
Kate’s known for her love of nude heels, but if you want a more everyday option, these flats are a good choice.
Topshop, $8.40
Clutch:
Boohoo, $52
Day 2 – Vancouver
Dress:
Pretty Little Things, $100
Kate’s dress is pretty much one-of-a-kind, so this is the closest I could find. At $100 it’s a bit pricey, but it could be worth the splurge.
Shoes:
Forever 21, $26.90
Or if you want to be a bit more comfy, these ASOS ones ($23.93) are really cute!
Clutch:
Dorothy Perkins, $20
Earrings:
Charming Charlie, $10
Watch:
Forever 21, $30.90
Day 3 – Bella Bella, Great Bear Rainforest, and Victoria
Daytime outfit
Umbrella:

Jacket:
Zara, $69.90
Shirt:
H&M, 19.99
Sweater:
H&M, $29.99
Jeans:
Zara, 49.90
Kate actually wore jeans from Zara, most likely these ones, but for a cheaper option these ones from H&M are $24.99.
Boots:
GoJane, $37.70
Earrings:
Forever 21, $4.90
Evening outfit
Dress:
Tobi, $43.39 (On sale for all of October!)
Boohoo, $70
Earrings:
Modcloth, $22.99
Kate’s shoes and clutch look like the same ones she wore on day two and her brooch is the same one from day one.
Day 4 – Kelowna and Whitehorse
Dress:
H&M, $19.99
Coat:
Modcloth, $139.99
This one is a little more expensive and isn’t extremely similar to Kate’s coat, but it would look similar worn with a belt like hers. If you like the button-down factor and length of her coat, this one would be a good buy if you want to treat yourself.
Belt:
H&M, $7.99
Earrings:
Charming Charlie, $2.99
Scarf:
Etsy, $27.10
Kate’s shoes and clutch look similar to the ones from day one, and her watch is the same one she wore on day two.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how adorable Will and Kate are together, because really, how are they that cute?

This ring is also similar to her gorgeous wedding ring:

Now that you have all this outfit inspiration, you can always look as iconic as Kate!
