You would fit right in in Colorado, friend, where we wear shorts and flip flops to go outside and play in the snow! Speaking of tall black boots, Amanda, I am wearing some right now to go out in the white stuff. These are ostrich boots with a patent finish and black/blue stitching on the cuffs. On top I'm wearing black pants, a white lacy camisole, and a grey/cream/black angora sweater. I'm ready for a busy Saturday!!
