Kate Middleton just wore one of the biggest trends of the season

Yesterday, the Duchess of Cambridge visited schoolchildren in London for a picture workshop, after the Queen passed down the patronage of the Royal Photographic Society to her.
Kate is of course known for her photography skills, and often takes official portraits of her children for their birthdays.
For the outing yesterday, the Duchess sported on of this summer's biggest trends: paisley, in the form of Ridley London dress.
The bohemian number featured floaty sleeves and a matching hem, and she accessorised with one of her favourite styles of shoes, wedges.
She also wore a pair of gold dangling earrings with an intricate leaf pattern, which was a nice nod to her dress.
During the workshop, Kate taught children how to take the perfect picture, from finding the right angles to lighting and posing.
