Kate Middleton "recycling" clothes!

    I'm so sick of hearing this statement!

    http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222_20517911,00.html

    The girl has come from a background where wearing clothes and washing them is the done thing, shock horror!

    There is too much focus on the fact the she wears her outfits more than once, like us normal people!!

    If she was to buy a new expensive outfit every time she walked out the door, the British taxpayers would have something to say about it.

    What do yiz think? Do you think, as a royal, she should be wearing new clothes every time she steps out?

    Ridiculous... never mind that she's showing what a grounded, down to earth girl she is in what are extremely hard times for many of her subjects, but what if she just really likes certain clothes and likes wearing them more than once.

    I'd be pretty peeved if I bought something I absolutely loved but was told I could only wear it the one time!

    I guess they have to find something to write about. There's nothing much else is there?

    I think it's great she wears things more than once. A bit of normality for once.

    Although, wearing an outfit from 2 years ago to a wedding is madness, not for a royal - for anyone. Weddings are an excuse to splash out!

    I would imagine she didn't want to upstage the bride.

    Pity it had the opposite effect so.

    I suppose she couldn't win whatever she did.
    All eyes were gonna be on her anyway.

    Tbh...i've never understood the need to wear a different outfit everyday, sometimes two or three outfits a day, Imogen Thomas is deadly for this...everytime she's papped coming out of her house it's like a fashion advert.

    And shoes......BLOODY SHOES!!!!!!!!!!......why do girls need 100 pairs of shoes??????????

    I think she is great, seems nice and dresses lovely all the time. If she recycles clothes good on her - makes me like her even more to be honest!

    Kate looks cute but needs a little more meat on her. Eat Kate, can't be that hard with all the money you have.

    Your Belfast lad, Alvin Phee.

    I think their usage of the word "recycling" is completely ridiculous and just designed to evoke a reaction. Recycling is what you do with something that you throw away. Idiots. I'd "recycle" the chin of the person who wrote that article.

    You know, I don't like to be gender specific but, sometimes I think certain females buy into the "precious" lifestyle a lot more than males. You know, like they won't wear it unless it cost at least €100+. And they somehow feel "superior" when they are just throwing money away.

    Pippa Middleton's booty reign's supreme!

    "It’s been said that Kate must have sanctioned it in the full knowledge that it would showcase Pippa’s fabulous figure, deep tan and glossy hair to perfection on the world stage."

    Read it or wrote it????

    And of COURSE she "sanctioned" the dress. It was her wedding! I doubt any bride only sees the bridesmaid dress at the church!! And of course she wanted her sister to look her best. It would take a right b!tch not to.

    Booty? That is not a booty, that's a flat arse.

    i don't have any words to express...

    On the topic of wearing clothes more than once, that's something I notice about UK soaps as opposed to American sitcoms - you're far more likely to see characters wearing an article of clothing more than once. I like it, it's a subtle touch of realism.

    It's better for continuity when the same clothes are worn, and less likely for an actor to be wearing two different coloured jackets or whatever, in the same scene.

    The white dress is giving the fresh look to her...

    I don't think she'll be very happy with people telling her that she's simple.:o

    I like her. She is elegant and dignified always. I love the lace on the wedding dress.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,778 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Kate makes the clothes not the other way around. A classy and elegant and stylish young lady she is.


  • Registered Users Posts: 51 ✭✭annettesayz


    its not ridiculous, not many celebs actually recycle their clothes so the fact that kate does, its inspirational


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,411 ✭✭✭ABajaninCork


    Isn't Kate (or Catherine) now the Duchess of Cambridge? She hasn't been Middleton for a year now!! ;)
