My God! She has the worst shoes collection ever...

It's weird, because when I read the phrase, "Fashion Victim" my mind was right over other crown princess, whose almost all her shoes collection belongs to a very famous brand................................................................................................... PRADA.

Once upon a time.... So sad that she had to become a 'fashion slave' in order to appear taller. That seems to be the only reason for her to resort to such unflattering shoes. Stand Tall, Letizia, and be proud that your husband is so tall!! Felipe is not slouching so stand straight and upright and LOSE those awful shoes! Your feet are taking away from your beauty and that is just silly!

I know it is OT in this thread, but isn't it better to own a few pairs of high-class-Prada-pumps, which one could wear for year, because they not "fashion" but "classic-style"? IMO it is.
Buying loads of ugly platforms in every available color, which are going to look dated in next year is weird.

But it's same with my co-worker and me, she buys only low-budget things, and she really owns loads, but she has always something "new". I own a more expensive wardrobe, but only things I can wear for years, because nothing look dated and mixed with other things it is always a complety different outfit.
I would prefer one PRADA-dress over 10 Varella-dresses.

Edit: To stay on-topic: I think Letizia should hire a stylist, a nice lady with a sense for style, who can show her what's flattering, coming around f. e. once a week to plan the wardrobe for the next engagements

I completely agree, nice post jinigirl!
That's, by the way, why the high-fashion labels are so sought-after. Labels like Chanel, Boss, Prada [most of the time] are labels that look chic and classy for a long time.

A WONDERFUL post, jinigirl, and one that has made the most sense of all!! You Nailed it and good for you. :)

Her platforms are some of the ugliest things I have ever seen - they look like a stripper's shoes.
Do anyone know where they are from? Arn't they YSL's?

But somehow, Letizia's pairs seem a little more cheap-looking, and also the front of the shoe is not quite the same, so I could be very wrong ..

Well you are very entitled to that opinion which apparently is that Princess Mary is a fashion victim. However, that won't change UserDane's opinion about Letizia also being one - so why bother make the comparision if I may ask ?

Yes, you are fond of using this particular term at leisure in other quarters. But surely, if you can use it yourself, you can stomach others using it as well ? ....or .......?

i struggle to see how letizia, with her everyday "uniforms" and (even though we don't like her) "uniform" shoes - the platforms, can be a fashion addict. i think she tries her best to look presentable and appropriate but never over the top or too fashion victim, except when the situation truly requires it.

[UserDane]

Carlota, if you read all the previous posts, you will see that the term popped up in a humerous exchange about the ruling shoe fashion - and when not to be a victim of it

[chuchu]

She should keep on wearing the clothes and shoes she likes!

Definetly,

Can members please move on from the platform shoe debate? It's becoming very old and tiresome reading the same inane rhetoric over and over and over again.

Thanks

Because wasting money on a stylist in the middle of a global recession is such a good idea

I like #1 and #17 .

I liked pair #1, but that was it. Oh, well. It is a new year. Hopefully we will see some new shoes in a more elegant style.

I won't hold my breath, but I Am hoping and keeping my fingers crossed! She Really is sooo lovely...

It is surprising to see Crown Princess Letizia spending money on such expensive bag.

Of course Letizia has other IMPORTANT priorities than to wear new and expensive suits.The strange thing is that you have not noticed this before.
She spent 1120 in a bag, but she could also large amounts of money on clothes, shoes, jewelry etc and she quite moderate her consumption. I hope this does not bother her ardent opponents.
