Bright jewel tones and florals abounded at royal engagements yesterday. It's starting to feel like spring around here, kids.
Queen Máxima attended a conference in Germany.
I believe my record on loving simple floral frocks is clear. Lest there be any confusion, this Natan dress is great. Also, scoring a bouquet that matches one's print perfectly is basically peak queenly accessorizing.
Crown Princess Victoria attended the Swedish Patriotic Society's annual event.
I believe my record on fabulous royal blue frocks is also pretty clear. This one's a good match for this event; for these annual white tie events for various societies, the Swedish royal women wear long dresses and orders without tiaras, so this dress is a good dressy-but-not-
too-dressy fit. (Plus, serious
flashbacks to her 18th birthday.)
Crown Princess Mary opened an extension to Trygfondens Family House.
The shape of this coat is nothing special, but this magenta color should be used for all the things, all the time. Delish. (Unrelated, but the day before: Mary played along at the opening of Research Day, so there's now
video of her dangling in the air and lifting a vehicle by herself. Gotta love a good sport.)
