adjective phrase that helps describe her.

Here's another example:

With her hat on her head, she entered the church.

With his wife by his side, he gave the speech.

I think the parallel parts are supposed to be of same patterns which,of course, is not the case here.

It's okay actually, but the tenses could be smartened up a bit.
