    • During a surprise appearance at the Sunshine House Children and Young People's Health and Development Center earlier this week, Kate Middleton wore a perfect work wear ensemble.
    • The Duchess of Cambridge's look included a polka-dot Equipment silk shirt, suede Gianvito Rossi pumps, and a pair of wide legged pants from Zara.
    • Kate's Zara pants retail for $50 and are still available to purchase.

    If you worked with Kate Middleton, she would be the best-dressed woman in your office.

    Proof: The absolutely perfect work wear ensemble the Duchess of Cambridge wore this week.

    On Wednesday, Kate stepped out for a surprise appearance at the Sunshine House Children and Young People's Health and Development Center in a business casual appropriate outfit that you'll want to own yourself.

    Here's the bad news: Most of Kate's look was, somewhat predictably, not the most affordable for the non-royals among us. Her polka-dot Equipment silk shirt retails for $280 at Bloomingdale's and copying her suede, block heel Gianvito Rossi pumps (which appear to be the brand's Piper style) will set you back $695.

    She does look like a million bucks—which makes the actual price of the two pieces (roughly $975, combined) seem like a bargain.
