What I got for Christmas?
A gray ruana. (Thanks, Mom!)
Noticing my furrowed brow as I tried it on, Lydia said enthusiastically, “Even celebrities are wearing them.”
Soon, I’ll step out in my ruana, and join the celebrities. As soon as I figure out what to wear with.

Well, it’ll look great with those perfect black boots, when and if you find them!
🙂
Yes, it will, Rosemary, and that has exactly been my thought: must. find. black. boots.
My mother suggested Macy’s, and there is one nearby. I fantasize myself starting the spring semester in my new costume (boots, ruana) and being a woman of great sartorial stature.
