Well, this is weird: everyone seems to have decided that they didn't need to live life in living color last week. I don't know who sent out the colorless memo to the royal ladies, but they should be stopped. 
  
Sharpest Interpretation
Princess Letizia

| At the Living Awards 2012 | 
I do like this repeated Felipe Varela outfit, even if black and white loses its sharp edge in a sea of monochrome. 
Darkest Interpretation
Crown Princess Mary
|  | 
| Attending a gala hosted by the Danish Lung Foundation; launching the 2012 Christmas Seal | 
A repeated dress from Heartmade - 
apparently after a bit of a haircut for the skirt - at least brings some sparkle to this week.
Flowery Interpretation
Princess Mathilde
|  | 
| Attending a concert in Paris | 
Look, even Philippe got the colorless memo.
Most Hopeful Interpretation
Princess Máxima
|  | 
| At the Africa Works! conference; attending a school breakfast; at a conference for international food stability | 
Finally, some blue! (And not even the dark kind, like Mary wore.) I don't even like this outfit, but this week - I'll let it go.
Which interpretation of life before color television was your favorite?
