At first glance I thought "Oh, no - ALL WHITE AGAIN! But upon closer inspection I really like the suit. It has a lot of fine details like the guipure panel, the skinny belt and the gold detail on the pockets.
And since the vest is very fitted on the upper body it goes well with the wider A-line skirt. Varela came up with a winner this time. And since it is so hot in Madrid the all white is a good choice this time around. I even like those gold cascading earrings.

Hooray for a return of Varela, we've had a run of different labels in the meantime. When I first saw this outfit I thought it was a repeat, and in a way it is, being similar to a couple of others from the same label. I love the slim fit and belt and gold trimmings, though I'm not so sure about that lace back and see Letizia has had to resort to a camisole. Love the zips on the pockets, and that Herrara bag is gorgeous. I'm delighted to see those snappy slingbacks again too.

I love this look—suit, purse, shoes all perfect. The camisole is as much for the low-cut front as for the back. In general, I don't see the sense in buying a designer piece and then modifying the lines, even a tiny bit, like with the addition of a camisole. But I guess in this case it makes sense.
