“I wish you would incorporate some color into your wardrobe,” Mama complained one day. “You are not a ninja.”
I ignored her. She has been making the same complaint for years.
“Can’t you wear some lovely pastels? You’d look precious in yellow or a soft, pale, pink,” she added.
Where she got this idea, I don’t know.
There have been times I have had a moment of reckless abandon and have bought a non-black blouse and have lived to regret it.
Normally, I feel like a walking Easter egg when I do.
