I wish she'd just be given some Louboutin pumps. Those she's wearing are grandma.
Wills'n'Kate out for a meal:

I like that Kate wears items she obviously has purchased for utility, comfort and versatility, while still looking the part of the Prince's fiancée. As the years go by, I'm sure she'll acquire new camel-colored shoes (but hopefully not anything as overly trendy and pricey as Louboutins for daytime outings, especially to sporting events.
I like the black tights and ankle boot look, she doesn't need to have sparkly shoes or accessories.
As for brown and black (or black and navy), I think these are great color combinations for the right person. I think these color combinations show adventurousness, lightness and elegance all at once (although handbags in the right colors help carry the look off). I think Kate should review her handbag selection, and add to it (as well as her shoe collection). But if she had camel/black shoes and handbag with that one outfit, it would have pulled it together.
Still, I think keeping her clothes budget on the lower side and showing that she uses/reuses things is a great way to build style for oneself, while still keeping in touch with the rest of us Earthlings.
Unfortunately the winter colours were all monochromes tones. Boring and not very flattering. I guess the style was in the cut but, most women try to spice it up not very effectively with accessories.Different strokes for different folks. To me her brown/black combos make her look colour blind or it has the ability to cut her half. I feel like she needs more help in the add-on department. Black shoes do not go well with light colours. For example: the time she wore the long pink dress with the black shoes to boodle boxing event. The list could go on and on.
If I were Kate, I would spend on accessories (and that's me looking back on 29-year-old me: same advice - not so much practicality, a bit more style in accessories).
I'm telling you, a handbag is key here. Winter or not, there are some fabulous bags out there that would say volumes in terms of style (I'm a fan of Balenciaga myself, but there are so many others - she should showcase the best of British handbag design...and there are quite a few contenders).
Just one handbag, Kate! (If you're reading...)
Now me? I'd love to see her dressed in the great red coat and black hat she wore to William's Passing Out Parade at Sandhurst.

She'll have the budget for it in the future I am sure.....

Sorry, but black and brown combinations are not a problem -- and not evidence of color-blindness. That's one issue that really ISN'T an issue. I could point you to dozens of outfits, worn by very chic women over the decades, that involved such combinations. My mother, for example, has an old late 40's Dior New Look black skirt and pale caramel-brown fitted jacket made to go with it. It's to die for. I wish I could wear it, but my mother is leaving it to a museum.
As for black shoes worn with the pink dress -- well, that was a few years ago, wasn't it? I really don't think Middleton can be heavily criticized for this. She was about 26, probably didn't have an enormous shoe wardrobe like many young women her age, and still looked better than most. Are we really going to nitpick about what she wore back then as differentiated from what she's wearing now and in the future?
Her hair looks nice here!
If it was just the one time then I would agree with you but she does it a lot. As for her wardrobe if she can afford/strike up a relationship with Issa then she can pay for some matching shoes.
Much rather see her in those old boots than those crazy Kardashians-Lady Gaga pumps, In 5 years people will look at this pictures and realise. WTH!
I really like this outfit.
