Love the shoes! Love that she is not wearing a dark tweed jacket. Love the material of the dress. Many of her clothes seem just too big for her or too much material. She is so tiny and petite. She looked great last week in the pleated skirt- not many could wear that.

She is not petite at all, she is1,70 tall...you can see that her daughters have not reached her. For South Europe she is thin but not too much, in other countries people are accostumed to see fatter people, however in Italy, France, Portugal, etc...she is not tiny at all.
Also Felipe is 1,97...a giant...

Letizia looks the complete holiday maker in her bargain Zara dress which works remarkably well on her. The soft colour is pretty and loose fabric looks cool and comfy. I admire the amount of detail in the pattern given the price point, the tufted shapes and embroidered circles are simply and effective. Even the dreaded espadrilles which I generally dislike look finein the this context. I like the flat ties on this Macarena pair, which are much more tidy than tasselled cords as per last time. A clever pick.

I like this dress, especially the colour. It looks like it would be cool and comfortable to wear. It does seem like Letizia could have gone with a smaller size. I am not a fan of the shoes. They appear so clunky, but then I don't care for wedge heels. The ties look like white bandages on her legs. I would have preferred a simple, white, flat sandal.

Even though the dress is appropriate for summer, the light grey and white colours are dull. But it looks cool and comfortable and the textured fabric adds some interest. Since it's a light fabric I prefer the shoes the model wore. The espadrilles are too chunky and prominent against the delicate fabric and loose style.

Correction- the colour is actually light green. It's registering as grey on my screen.

This is a sweet casual dress. I love the embroidery and detail of the fabric, adds appeal to the dress. The soft grey and white colour combination, works well. This type of shoe looks fine, they are much nicer that the tasselled cord ties , although I am not a fan of espadrilles. I was surprised at the price of this dress, so very affordable, a perfect dress to wear to the beach. Great choice the gold hoop earrings.

I see that you do not like the "alpargatas" (espadriles) in general, however they are what almost all women wear in Spain in summer, it has been our shoes for decades, handmade with natural materials that are very good for the heat.
Actually I find them very elegant, shoes in summer in Spain are very uncomfortable. I think even Chanel is making alpargatas nowadays.
I have bought three for myself this summer.
This brand "Macarena" is settled in La Rioja, a region known by the good wines. The ribbons around the legs are the tipycal our ancentors used to wear....so they are tradition and history for us, more than fashion, our roots.
Probably only Spaniards can understand it.

That's right. Since she is not so worried about "fashion", her popularity in Spain has grown up heaps, and people are focused in the great work they have done.
Here almost nobody is worried about her dresses, they media say the brands when they are Spanish and admit Hugo Boss reluctantly because it is modest.
She must have realised that clothing is something that influence bad in the Spaniards, the less she spends the better she comes across, let alone the situation in the country right now, people is not in the mood for fashion.
They (we) want a working woman, the rest is not important at all, even as I said, a problem.
They are going to visit the whole country to support each Autonomous Community, that is the important, their great work and commitment with the country.

Thanks for the update. I know this style of shoe is popular, but it is good to be reminded that everyone in your part of the world wears them.

She is in the Canay Islands, on the beach, where it is summer all the year, where people wear a "pareo" the whole day, ( a sarong, in English?)...opening the tourism season....so perfect in my opinion, also wearing Spanish traditions and brands.

I can't tell you how much I wanted to like Tuesday's new look, the thought of writing another gloomy post made me feel sad when I mostly love the Queen's style. However, I can't lie and I am afraid that I dislike this dress, it does look more flattering in the video. For me, there is too much fabric, the top makes Letizia appear long-waisted and top-heavy. I'm unsure as to whether the combination of embroidery and polka dots work, I may have been inclined to choose one detail and refine it. Initially, I thought that the tips of the alparagatas were wet (the grey toe cap). I find them particularly heavy against the already busy midi dress, with the wide straps, sizable platforms, and wedges. Positives, the sage colour is beautiful and reminds me of sea foam, the dainty buttons and front slit are feminine features that help with the flow of the skirt. The sleeveless cut and light fabric look comfortable for a full agenda in hot weather.
