Kate Middleton Doesn’t Buy a New Outfit Every Day, Somehow this is News (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

There’s been a lot of talk about Kate Middleton over the past few days, and it has nothing to do with her accomplishments, personality or even gossip-worthy doings.

No, the blogosphere has been set aflame by the most scandalous of scandals.

Brace yourselves. Things are about to get real. If you have small children, you may want to ask them to leave the room.

Kate Middleton wore the same coat that she was seen wearing in March. But don’t worry: this time, she wore different accessories, so we don’t have to banish her to fashion hell!

But seriously, did I miss something? Have we all started burning our clothes after one use? And more importantly, is this really something that warrants 413 news articles (according to Google News)?

Ok! Magazine applauded the Duchess’s brave choice for being ‘eco-chic’, and describes the royal as ‘thrifty’. Other sources label her ‘the royal recycler’, and ‘chiconomical’. Give me a freaking fashion Nobel Prize, you guys, because I own maybe fifteen shirts, tops. No, I’m serious; I actually wash my own clothes and then put them on even though I’ve put them on before.

Celebuzz, despite seeming to view Kate’s ‘recycling’ positively, still dubbed her a ‘fashion repeat offender’. Looks like the fashion police are going to have to haul Kate off to the fashion slammer! If she gets three strikes, do we get to put her away for life?

Celebuzz then goes on to ask the question that’s on all of our minds: Why does Kate continue to recycle her wardrobe?

The answer?

“Simple — her staple fashion pieces work for her, and the brunette beauty loves them. So why not wear the pieces more than once?”

Yes, Celebuzz. Why not wear the pieces more than once? This, and other important queries, will be answered in their upcoming book, ‘Obvious Questions with Obvious Answers, Volume 1’.

Watch this video about Kate’s ‘daring’ fashion choices and try not to fall too deeply into despair!
