<p>The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out showcasing her signature mix of high and low end fashion in a chic return to work for the new year.</p>
<p>Kate Middleton visited The Foundling Museum in London on Wednesday wearing a teal blue coat over the top of an all-navy ensemble. </p>
<p>But her standout accessory was the royal's $3.80 gold earrings from UK store Accessorize.</p>
<p>The mini hammered doorknocker hoop earrings from the high street chain (similar to Lovisa) were originally £7 ($13.20) but were in the recent sale, dropping in price to £2.10 ($3.80) — needless to say, they're now sold out.</p>
<p>The only other jewels that Kate could be seen wearing was her heirloom sapphire and diamond engagement ring, which previously belonged to Princess Diana, and her wedding band.</p>
<p>The Duchess, who celebrated her 40th birthday earlier this month, wasn't just cost-efficient in her jewellery department. Even the tailored blue coat has been seen before, with the Duchess last wearing it in January 2020, during a visit to LEYF Stockwell Gardens Nursery & Pre-School in London.</p>
<p>The Duchess also sported a turtle neck knit and navy suede heels, both of which are understood to be items worn to previous engagements and events.</p>
<p>Kate's return to work for the new year wouldn't be complete without her signature bouncy blowdry, which bobbed as the royal arrived at The Foundling Museum with husband Prince William.</p>
