A bike needs bosses for V brakes, otherwise you can't install them. Furthermore, V brakes need a different type of lever. Probably not for you.
Studded tires are for snow and ice. Are you thinking about winter already?
I don't wear bike specific clothing much any more. I do see young women wearing clothing that is practical, feminine and stylish. Have you noticed?
