Call for Social Projects 'Euros de tu Nómina' (Euros from your payroll) is a Santander initiative which promotes projects that improve society. Santander employees contribute to the 'Euros from your Payroll' program, in which for every euro they donate, the entity contributes another. Thus far the program has supported 94 NGO initiatives in Spain and has helped nearly 80,000 people during its twelve years of history.

The event began with a round table which was followed by the presentation of awards. Twelve social projects were awarded and will receive €42,117 each. This year, Santander has given special recognition to the work of the Spanish Red Cross, for its support during the pandemic. Concluding the event Her Majesty gave a speech.

It's been difficult to critique this ensemble in full (with the coat), due to a lack of photographs from the event so I appreciate that it may have flowed better in person. The soft pink knit, waist belt and black pumps are an improvement on the skirts last wear 05/03/20, although, I still believe that a black fitted crew neck knit would have been more cohesive. For me, this look lacks refinement, it's overly coordinated and appears busy with the competing textures and duo colour clutch. I find the natural hue of the skirt insipid and the silhouette lacking in flight. Following the gold pleated Massimo Dutti skirt worn last week, I am starting to wonder if fashion-forward pleated skirts are generally trickier to style... a sensitive approach is certainly needed. Overall I wish greater restraint had been exercised in the styling, I would have paired the coat and knit with black wide leg tailored trousers, black pumps, a black tote handbag and an undecorated black belt.

Letizia looks great in this visually interesting outfit. I like the optics of the pink echoed in the pleats of the skirt. The fitted pullover is the perfect choice to balance the fullness of the skirt. The brushed wool coat looks feminine as well as warm. The first photo shows just how high the feet are arched upward in those pumps which is kind of scary.

The pink sweater looks better with this skirt rather than the blouse that Letizia wore with it the last time. However, I think a black top would be even more appropriate. The belt gives good definition. The pink CH coat is lovely and I do wish Letizia wouldn't wear coats draped over her shoulders. I say, either wear a coat, or don't wear a coat...this in between looks so indecisive.

Unfortunately I am not a fan of optics of this nature, the vibrant pink radiating throughout the skirt. The pink knit combined with two tone, bag, plus the pink coat, all a bit too much going on. The coat itself I love. Shoes are perfect. Personal preference naturally, but I would have liked black clutch and coat, black top. This outfit doesn't hit the mark for me.

This outfit manages to combine a number of things I don't like myself but which Letizia pulls together beautifully. I'm generally averse to both knife pleats and ombre shading, but this Zara skirt hangs well and is nicely offset by the plain pink top. The only reason the top makes me cross is because pale pink is a useful colour I'm unable to wear! The Burberry ruffle belt gives valuable texture and enlivens what might otherwise be bland, And as for fluffy pink coats -- wouldn't touch with a bargepole myself, but Letizia looks terrific in hers and it adds zest and an edge of funky to her outfit.
