This was a really surprising outfit, to see the purple Prada dress was amazing! I think Mary really surprised us with this outfit. Wearing her bright purple dress she was given the title as the best dressed woman at the INDEX award. What a title to get and I really think she deserves it. I'm not sure I would have chosen the same accessories as she did but why not? Sometimes life is too short to wear 'safe' clothes, it is fun to mix and match prints, colours and wear clothes again years later and see how your style have developed. This is exactly what I think when I see her in this particular dress. My guess is that she wore it the first time in around 2008 or 2009 on a visit to... somewhere in the world (Thailand?). At that time her style was very classic and feminine, these two words really described what she was wearing and how. Today Mary is a embracing a more modern style and she's playing with colours and prints lately. This is a great example. I have never been able to find her violet/purple dress as a model but the Hollywood star Kirsten Davis has been seen in the exact same one identified as Prada. Her hairstyle is also eye-catching and if you love it as much as I do and is ready for a challenge you find a similar up do right here! Good luck everybody. 

When I finally stopped staring at the stunning dress and her hair my eyes caught her glittering pointed pumps. They might be one of the reasons why she was given the title as the best dressed because shoes is really something that create a woman and show who she is. By wearing these Gianvito Rossi (Pre-A/W 2012) glitter pumps, with a print of leopard, Mary gave me the sense of independence and... girl power! Unbelievable that a pair of shoes can tell so much. This entire outfit  shone of independence and confidence. Royal Outfit of Crown Princess Mary identified the glitter leopard pumps, thank you so much for the help! Because they are from his Pre-A/W 2012 collection they are no longer available, so if you are interested you might find them pre-owned. With the satin yellow Yves Saint-Laurent well I'm amazed. In the same glitter effect she wore expensive Jewelscph earrings. With this outfit Mary takes the classic princess-look to a entire new level! Please, Mary show us more of this.

When Mary came to Denmark back in 2003/2004 one of her challenges was to learn the Danish language which is told to be one of the hardest to learn. She did a really great job but she is differently not the only to learn Danish. Past the years I have heard some several readers that they have the same wish. Go for it! Even though it sounds hard why not try? At yesterdays inauguration Mary attended the opening of a new language center in Aarhus where she met some of those who is standing in front of the new language. I wish them all the best! Do not let a struggle stop you.

At yesterdays event I was overwhelmed by her outfit. The black and the bright grass green. Really chic! Her new pleated skirt has been identified by Royal Outfits of Crown Princess Mary as Baum und Pferdgarten (Autumn 2012) and with my love for green clothes and accessories I'm already a fan. Because she chose the basic to be black and the only piece of clothes in another colour was the green skirt.  Ones eyes are drawn to the Baum und Pferdgarten skirt. Am I right? She takes the boring black to a new level with some colours. Wonderful! Royal Outfits of Crown Princess Mary did also found her brand new black leather belt from BOSS Hugo Boss makes her look really modern. Very sophisticated with the 3/4 black blouse.

Black leather are often associated with something a bit different then Crown Princess Mary. Once we have seen her in a black leather skirt matched with a powder pink blouse, never mind, this outfit was characterized by leather accessories. Not too little, not too much. She did a pretty good job choosing SAND pumps, her black Carlend Copenhagen clutch and then we have the significant leather bracelet on her left wrist it has been identified by Pernille as Naledi Copenhagen. When we talk about bracelets she was also wearing her mother-and-daugther Ivory Bogota and Royal Bracelet from Shamballa Jewels. Under her dark loose hair you could see a pair of new earrings, I assume that Marianne Dulong is the designer because of the characteristic golden circle. Do you like her rock-and-roll outfit?

Mary you are amazing! When she visited the center for abused women in Amman, the women were crying so heartbreaking to see. I fell their pain. Mary showed her sympathy and tried to comfort the women. They were hugging her all the time and kissing her on the checks. How to comfort someone who is so sad and have so many traumas? By listing. Show that you truly are interested. Exactly what Mary did. This scandinavian woman in her red dress and loose brown hair was so patient. All her attention was given to the women. To me the pictures speak for themselves. Again it's really not important what she's wearing, how expansive it is or anything. What I like it to see that she's wearing all reused stuff. Nothing overwhelming or too laud at all. This is the last day she is in Jordan but only two days really make a difference. 

Thanks for following her visit with me.

This is such an important visit, not only for Denmark to have a Crown Princess who take the time to actually do a visit like this but also for all the over 120,000 refugees who are running for their lives and only try to survive. We all know how much these people suffer and it makes me so happy to know that Mary use her title as Crown Princess to support and help those people. Because they really need help. What I like when I see all the pictures from today and every other visit is the way Mary act. No one is too small or poor to get her attention. She talks to as many children and old people as possible. I think it is important to Mary that she see with her own eyes that the help she try to give actually help. We can't imagine how it is to be right there; look at those who badly need some help and as one person can't do a thing. With Mary we can. I respect her so much, to be open hearted and do something about the issues. To me Mary is more like a star. She know that there is photographers and journalists everywhere following every single step of hers and still she is down on the ground talking to the children and comfort them. All her attention is given to the refugees. To see one be surrounded by so many is incredible and almost impossible. I'm impress by her care and sympathy.  

It is important to me to give all attention to her job because this is about human life. That's why her clothes must go a side. A thing to mention is her clothes is not too laud. You find what I know about her look down below from the beginning of the day to a late evening event.
