I'm old enough to wear red boots any time I want, she said.
She wanted to be buried in them, but her son had them put her in taupe pumps instead.
She wore red all winter long so the ambulance could find her quicker if she fell in a snow bank & also it hides dirt.
She had married early & had always been a pragmatist.

What a pity this character didn't wear red for the sheer thrill of loving the colour, rather than so that she'd be noticed if tragedy struck. She certainly had an interesting, if grim, perspective on life.
