The King and Queen of Spain continued video conferences today from their home at the Palace of Zarzuela.
Their Majesties held a video conference with senior officials of El Corte Inglés - the biggest department store group in Europe. The officials explained how better protection measures for customers and employees and the promotion of digital commerce for online sales are key to the future in adapting consumption after the pandemic.
King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia later held a video conference with representatives from the Taxi Sector which is made of 63,494 taxi license holders, of whom 98.3% are self-employed. During the pandemic there has been a drastic drop in mobility, taxies have largely been providing services to the elderly, doctors, nurses, and patients, often altruistically. FEDETAXI and ANTAXI estimate that it will take a long time for activity to return to relative normality. A decrease in traffic is expected in areas of demand such as airports, hotels, etc due to the collapse of national and international tourism, along with the possible cancellations of public events. In rural areas where taxi revenues are much lower the direct and indirect cost is expected to exceed the income or reduce the net return to insufficient levels.
Queen Letizia gave us a better look at the Hugo Boss 'Fysa' Blue Colorblock V-Neck Sweater of which we only got a glimpse of when she debuted it in April.
The tricolor superfine wool sweater flaunts a colorblock design with a V-neckline, long sleeves, and rib-knit neck, cuffs and hem.

Don't like this top at all. Looks like something I'd wear to the gym. It is too loose fitting on Letizia.

I agree Laura. It looked better when she wore it the first time with the blazer. I think I would prefer it if it were fitted. But Letizia does look lovely in the turquoise colour.

Letizia helps compensate for another video post by adopting such a snappy top with clever use of colour blocking. This cheers me up after we had broken out into the wide world in full-length action shots. I think it's a a very snazzy jumper from Hugo Boss and I'm glad that we are beginning to branch out into colour after so many dour looks.

This is a very lovely sweater. The gorgeous turquoise colour looks dramatic against the black. The colour blocking design was done well with the flattering 'V' neckline and loose fitting sleeves. I'm not sure if it's my screen but I actually see 3 colours with the black and 2 shades of turquoise. The relaxed fit of the sweater is versatile and can lend itself to casual as well as more formal looks. It would look great with black slacks or a skirt.

The main issue with this sweater is that it photographs badly from an obstructed sitting position, therefore it looks big and reminds me of a sports jersey. I appreciate that the design is intentionally oversized and graphic. If I remember correctly the stock image above (in full) showed the model wearing the sweater with slim-fit black cropped trousers and high heeled black suede pumps, as a whole, the look was effortless and improved my opinion of the piece. For me, the most considered detail is the light teal ribbed hem, a subtle contrast to the bright turquoise which is sadly lost in a seated position. Moving forward, I am hoping for an array of pastel shirts (soft, lavender, lemon, pink) for future video conferences which would hopefully be formal enough to be regarded as respectful while adding a little lightness to the Queen's summer looks.

I'm definitely here for the normality, it's so unusual! Is it really three months, I know it felt pretty long at the time. Hope the lockdown easing works out for all of us to keep going. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
