Do you know the poem “When I Am an Old Woman, I Shall Wear Purple”? My grandmother loved it. (It might have been the line, “ And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves,” though she was a scotch woman.) As she grew older, she got a kick out of wearing more and more purple. I like to think of the quirkier things we’ll adopt as we age, if we’re lucky enough to do so.
My mother had license plates with the words: PrpleLady. One third of her garments were purple. I inherited a purple sequin duck billed hat among other gems.
Yes on the Costco lined snow pants in black! I have taken to wearing a few clothes from my deceased mother's closet. My teenage students complement me the most on these.
