About dress, I really don't think you should worry about it, it's a little tasteless to go out there on the street in your thong and nothing else, but it's been done ... anything else is acceptable, in various measures, you'll see.

I had a dark, simple pashmina-style scarf (useful for traveling anyway, makes a good pillow) which I would put over my red hair when I needed a break for a while. Just a tip.
