We can’t return always to funeral black because here in Umbria, the heart of Italy, black is not the cool standby it is in the big cities. With light rain and winds, boots and coats have crept back. These black boots are almost 10 years ago — Italian and comfortable. The colorful wool dress is also Italian and was found at a charity shop or rummage sale for a paltry sum. The lavender raincoat with the short sleeves was also a consignment shop purchase. What are you wearing in April?
