Answer

"She pushed a pair of Wayfarers on top of her short cap of hair"

As mentioned above, the pair of Wayfarers is a pair of sunglasses (kind of a cool brand), so this means she pushed them from where they were on her face, up onto her head. And the "short cap of hair" means that she has short hair, that looks almost like a cap because it just covers her head. From this text she sounds like a cool, relaxed sort of character. Hope this helps!

Answer

Hi!
The "pair of wayfarers" are sunglasses. So that sentence means that instead of taking them off, she keeps them on her head, kind of like a headband.
Hope that helps
