Teen Fashions on a Budget: William & Kate Makeover
This teen fashions post contains affiliate links.
Although Kate’s appeared on Best Dressed Lists and is pretty much a fashion icon, when she’s out and about, she’s often photographed in simple, comfortable-looking clothing and dresses. Makes sense, since she’s mom to three kids! Check out how to get one of our favorite looks that works great as a dressy teen fashion outfit!
- Maggy London Sunburst Pleated Dress (Nordstrom) — $110.00
- Shoe Mint Suede Heels (Kohl’s) — $54.99
- Sonoma Life Camisole, Black (Kohl’s) — $7.99
- Simply Vera Wang Pearl Studs (Kohl’s) — $8.40
Prince William seems like a pretty laid-back guy. He’s not what you’d expect from a prince. Sure, he has access to a fortune, but he chooses to continue working, earning his pilot license so he can become qualified to transport patients via air ambulance (I think we call them medivac copters here) to hospitals. That’s a very noble profession. I think his mom would have been really proud. Here’s how to get William’s look for your laid-back Prince Charming!
William’s Outfit:
- Nordstrom Sport Shirt (Nordstrom) — $26.46
- Lucky Slim Straight Leg Jeans (Nordstrom) — $56.40
- Bostonian Lites Dress Shoes (Kohl’s) — $59.97
- Timex Stainless Steel Watch (Kohl’s) — $51.96
Both of these celebrity makeovers make fabulous teen fashions for those chilly summer nights or for dressy back-to-school occasions. At $110, the dress is the priciest item on the list, but it’s still a fantastic price for such a pretty piece. Follow the care instructions and you can use it many times over the year. Dress it down with flats for a job interview or add a few glittery pieces of jewelry for a formal night out!

I haven’t been to Nordstom’s in a while–a long while. They really do have some beautiful clothing and when they have a sale–it is a SALE. I do need some summer shorts-maybe they have what I’m looking for.
I am always looking for places to shop that aren’t going to break the bank, but still let me look nice.
Thank you for sharing with us!
I used to love Nordstom’s and always looked for that next fashion accessory buy!
I enjoyed your post and what you highlighted and am sure Kate and Wills would be proud!
after having kids its like i forgot where to shop for myself. thank you for reminding me that i can find nice clothes and not break the bank
I absolutely love Kate’s fashion, she always looks so elegant and understated. This dress, I’m sure, would be absolutely beautiful on nearly anyone, surely a timeless piece!
I absolutely adore Kate Middleton’s sense of style! She’s always comfy and casual yet so chic and polished. I love it <3
Those are very nice looks. Real comfy looking also.
These prices really aren’t expensive at all! I love the color of that dress. I love being able to score a deal on things like clothes for me and the family so thank you for sharing that with us!
I love Nordstrom’s and I love this for all ages. I love Kate’s style and the fact that it works for all ages and is appropriate and classy. I may have to pick up that dress!
Kate has exquisite taste. Great reminder that you can be a mom and still be fashionable (though I don’t need to look like a princess all the time as she does!)
These are simple yet elegant outfits. You got to admire the couple for being modest and simple despite all their resources.
This is such a great idea! Could even double as a nice halloween costume with a couple of props 🙂
I love Kate. I think it’s so nice that she doesn’t dress like a royal. Sure, she has nice clothes, but she’s not all stuffy looking. What she’s doing with Will I have no idea…but that’s an entirely different story.
I love Nordstrom, especially for baby shoes. It’s hard to find a store that sells the baby shoes I love, and they do!
Ughhhh you totally made me miss norstrums!!!! When I lived in Orlando I shopped there all the time!!!
I love Kate’s fashion and this is definitely something like those she wears all the time.
I’ve never shopped there before. I guess I’m too frugal and I’m a strictly Walmart/Target buying person, thanks for sharing though!!!
