Thank you for bringing us up do date on this visit, misshelen! I love Maxima's summery dress -- her hair? Well, I think it has seen much better days -- still wish she would grow out the bangs and get them off her face! But she looks her energetic self and I am sure she's doing a great job for Microcredit.

I think she's glad she's in South America, we are dealing with snow over here in Holland. Nice dress, but I have to agree with Pollyemma...what about the hair? It looks awful!

Not one of my favorite outfits. Nice color, interesting texture, good fit, good skirt style (fitted around the hips and then flares stiffly). But maybe a little too fitted? She's beautifully curvy and maybe this outfit plays up the curves a little too much?

But her shoes: too pointy so her feet look big, and the t-strap makes her legs look short and stumpy. This seems to be her favorite shoe style, and I think they detract a lot from her outfits.

As for her hair: a little limp. On the Morocco trip I thought she finally had pulled her hair look together: casual without being messy or overly styled; good length; flattering. I think today was just a bad hair day (maybe she forgot how hot and humid South America can be after living so long in the Netherlands!), and it'll improve after today.
