...doesn't she? She does wear a lot of long coats. It's summer now, so we haven't been seeing her in them, but certainly all through the fall she wore a lot of long coats, which made great sense. She really chooses unusual colors. She doesn't often go with the traditional spectrum: red, cobalt. She does not do that. She does chartreuse, she does teal.
