PERMISSION GRANTED: ALL PUDDLE SPASHING ALLOWED!

Who would have thought that the galoshes from our past would now be a fashion statement, but in a never-miss-a-style- opportunity mode, designers have brought them back in a big way.  I just returned from four straight days of rain in the Texas Hill Country and my new rain boots were stylish, dry, and fun…fun…

What Was I Thinking???

Mrs. Belle?  This is how your feet should look!! I have a confession to make. When I was in high school, my fellow Rebels (we really were the Lee High Rebels) and I loved to torment a substitute teacher named Mrs. Belle. She always wore polyester dresses to her ankles covered by intense colors and…
