This made me smile, JAFB.
Is there any significance to the wearing, amount, styles of these scarves?

Hi there, Stephen.
Going by the number of apparel changes the two ladies in the film have, you’d think they are social butterflies. I might have thought of it as an deliberate ironic counterpoint if it were a fictional film.
Moreover, personally, I’m so blind to clothing and makeup in cinema. And this startling number of changes kept reminding me and trying to cure me of that throughout.
Cheers!
