    She always dresses with style and thoughtfulness. I do like her jacket. I do not understand the purpose of the skin coloured scarf around her head - is it there as a “hat” and doesn’t show particularly well in the photos, do you think?

      I wondered about that too. Perhaps it's there to keep her ears warm? If so I think another colour, red maybe, would have been better. (V.M.)

      I guess it was a windy day. The scarf is the same colour as the handschoen, so I can live with it.

      Yes I think red would have been better. And perhaps if it’s for the wind, positioned on top of the hair not under it.

      Terribly windy and very cold day for being in May, could it be a quick solution? C

    The skin colored 'scarf' looks like a large bandage. The dress is very pretty.
