Catherine Middleton is on day seven of our North American tour (time goes so quickly!) and made a stop in Slave Lake, Alberta, Canada today. For her visit to a forest fire-devastated area, she re-wore her navy J.Brand “811″ mid-rise skinny pants, as well as her navy one-button blazer by Smythe, which she wore on the first day of her trip (check out the cool back).
