Kate Middleton

When you wake up each day expecting something to happen—the sun to rise, the coffee pot to produce coffee, Hoda and Kathie Lee to do something weird on the Today show—it's really shocking the first day it doesn't. I experienced this feeling of disappointment the day after the royals' tour of New Zealand and Australia ended. No new photos of Kate Middleton wearing something new surfaced, no pics of baby George's cheeks were out, and I was sad.

Since this isn't the first time I've suffered from daily dose outfit withdrawal, I knew exactly what to do. Calling on my fashion/life therapist, fashion editor Danielle Prescod, for help, I took matters into my own body and got dressed in some of Kate Middleton's royal tour outfits. And not to knock Kate Middleton, but I did them all one better by including the best accessory she toted during the three-week trip in every single look. Sally Weird, meet Sally Middletwin, the American version of the lovely Duchess of Cambridge.

Zimmermann dress; Tory Burch shoes; L.K. Bennett clutch.

Only Kate Middleton would look this put-together posing next to a surfboard. George and I did not feel quite as at home hanging ten in NYC, and this Zimmermann dress doesn't look quite as beach chic on me as it does on Kate even though we have the exact same surfboard.

Diane von Furstenberg dress; C. Wonder shoes; Reiss clutch.

The Queen would not be into the length of this Diane von Furstenberg dress. Kate's wrap version sold out in under eight minutes, so this tunic is a close substitute. Unfortunately I feel a bit more Nicky Hilton goes to the Hamptons than Kate Middleton meet-and-greeting in Australia. Bonus: George and I match most excellently.

L.K. Bennett dress; Sergio Rossi shoes; Saint Laurent clutch.

When I wore this L.K. Bennett poppy number on the street, two people stopped me to ask about it. "Excuse me, where is that dress from? It looks like..." One woman said. "Yes, Kate Middleton wore it!" I almost shouted back at her triumphantly and very unroyally. This was my favorite dress and made me feel the most lady-like of all of them. So ready to shoot the shit with the Queen over some scones and clotted cream in this pretty getup.

Lela Rose dress; Sergio Rossi shoes; Reiss clutch.

Really, Kate should be recognized for just how great she looks in her clothes. Sure, she probably tries on ten thousand different dresses before she decides on which one to wear to a black tie event like this one, but where I look mom-ish, she makes this off-the-rack Lela Rose number look effing regal.

Rebecca Taylor dress and jacket; L.K. Bennett shoes and clutch.

One thing about Kate's clothing choices is that the dresses and shoes she chooses really promote good posture—and it's not just because they're tight on my un-Kate Middleton figure. This Rebecca Taylor suit inspired me to whip out my best royal wave, and though the skirt length is a no-no in the Queen's book, I think I truly brought my royal game with this look. Unfortunately Prince George looks super uncomfortable because its hard to multitask while looking Duchess fierce.

Ralph Lauren jacket; H&M shirt;, rag & bone jeans; C. Wonder shoes; photoshop husband.

Kate getting casual is something I can always get behind. Sure, I went for a less buttoned-up look than she did, but standing with the American version of Prince William, I just felt super relaxed.
