Wow! Two or three photographs of Mary and you can not only see her hair, almost completely obscured by her hat, but pronounce it both dirty and greasy? That is an impossible call and I think must relate to your personal opinion of Princess Mary than to the facts at hand. A very harsh and unkind statement.
As for recycling? What's wrong with that? Wait till she's been around as long as The Princess Royal and recycles something she wore more than 25 years ago and you might have room to complain about! Or perhaps not, seeing that economy is something to be admired in any royal family and nobody does it better!
Again dress/skirt longer than coat, it's really drive me crazy. But overall nice look, I like minimalistic colors, B&W - always good combination. There is something wrong with the cut of the coat, sleeves especially, they're wide and Mary looks so small in this.
Recycled coat, right? I like it, nothing special but it wasn't occasion to look over the top. Nice pants, I like this type, is elegant, comfortable and warm (important during winter in Poland).
I was impressed that Mary managed to look elegant but not a "fashion plate" for this engagement. The trousers were an inspired choice, practical but not sloppy. On anyone else I would have wondered about the stiletto boots but Mary seems to favour them and have no problems.
