I get tired of seeing Charlotte in a blue millefleur dress.

The Cambridges kids always make me feel they are wearing "uniforms"......not sure it is a good thing.

Yeah I get the same feeling. And no IMO, it isn't a good thing, feeling like some little uniform. 
It is. And no surprise. They like to recycle these 'traditional' clothes. Just like George's outfit.
At least not as out dated as the outfit George recycled of his dad's for his first Trooping.

I may be the odd one out, but I have no problem with the way the Cambridge children are dressed. In fact, I don’t really have a problem with how any of the royals dress their kids. They’re only children, so I find critiquing their clothing a little weird.

I don't have a problem with how the Cambridge children are dressed either. It's similar to how Peter, Zara, William, Harry etc..dressed and later the Wessex children.
The Swedish royals frequently reuse Victoria and Madeleine's childhood dresses for Estelle etc.. so as long as the garments are in good shape and they fit, why not use them?

I also love the way the British and Swedish Royals dress their children...it's very traditional and "upper crust" but it's also timeless.
Grace of Monaco used to dress Caroline, Albert and Stephanie the same way.
They look like children, imo

Absolutely! That is what I have been calling their clothes for years now, uniforms. IMO it's William's way of ensuring that the media never really get any 'new' pictures of his kids. You get new pictures but on the other hand you don't really as all the pics look practically the same. It's like he's hiding them in plain sight. Very clever.

What would be so bad about the media having "new" pictures of his children? Other than intrusive or unauthorised pictures of course.

Putting George in black shorts or Charlotte in a yellow dress for a family event or photo is not going to scar on the children for life if the photogs get a some variety.
Also both George and Charlotte are that age when they want to dress themselves like big kids and have opinions about their clothes. That’s developmentally normal. Offering a choice and options is healthy.

When George and Charlotte were at the horse trials last month we saw them in 'regular' clothes.
George in a Columbia jumper and trousers and Charlotte in a tartan skirt and blue jumper. Both looked like they could've dressed themselves.
But for formal events I like the way they're dressed. I have to agree with soapstar, critising what a child wears is weird.

Those who have, or have had, small children know how fast they outgrow clothing. So if they have one or two “good” outfits, they’ll wear them over and over until they are outgrown or worn out. That’s common sense even if they are royal.

These are not the same outfits though, they are versions of the same clothes over and over again.

It is a shame that she and her brother are not styled as a princess/prince as they would be entitled to by birth although, in practice, they seem to be accorded the same treatment and precedence of HRHs (for example riding in the royal procession). I guess that, in a way, they get the best of both worlds then.

Note: Now I think Margrethe also wore it before. Is it the 2nd brooch in the middle?

Critiquing the clothes children wear is a little strange. Criticising their parents is insulting.
