Ha, ha. Wonderful quote! I have a wardrobe of grey. Not quite 50 but lots. I like black, too.
Most of mine started out black but has faded to various shades of grey – although, like you, not quite 50. But I have just bought a pair of red shoes because hey, that’s how I roll (or whatever the expression is).
I keep searching for those superpowers.
Been looking for years; still haven’t seen a trace.
My superpowers are in my imagination. But don’t tell anybody.
Our secret…
