Kate looks fine! This is a VERY Kate outfit! (I am glad that her Standard Neutral Shoe is now these suede ones, as I like them better than the beige patent ones she wore for so long.) Also, good show from that giant fern. It's so voluminous and lush! I'm pretty sure it's fake, but we've all got secrets.

"Yes! LOOK at this chandelier! Isn't it ENORMOUS? We take them down and wash them twice a year and it's quite an ordeal."
