Neither looked appropriately dressed for the situation.

The temperature is single digits. I'd wear a mink as a bathrobe if I had one.

I have an old mink that I wear when walking up to the mailbox, sometimes over my nightgown. It seems perfectly appropriate to me when the wind is about 50 miles per hour out of the north and the temp is 20 degrees. Just to be coordinated I sometimes don a matching hat. I consider it an appropriate fashion statement. PETA people don't seem to live in the country.

Nah, temp was in the 20's. It's a mite nippish, but coats that button or zipper up the front are more practical. Anyway, the point was that floor length mink is for formal occasions. You can wear a tiara at Home Depot if you want, nobody is going to say anything to your face, but it's not appropriate for the situation.

But hey, it's a free country.
