The Queen’s rainbow of outfits always cheers me up, and I especially love this powder blue one ...it’s so cheerful and spring-like..

I agree with your comment on her coat but what really has me drooling is the little hint of the dress underneath. It appears to be a multi-color paisley pattern and looks gorgeous. Personally, I can't wait for spring.
