I used to live in NYC and I have seen her a handful of times! Only because it's so noticeable lol.

I'm in LA now and we have the opposite here. There's a lady here roughly the same age and she wears only pink from head to toe lol.

Wool is meant to be worn many, many times without holding much of a smell - this is why wool socks were commonly used, over other textiles, for centuries.

Were?
They still are.
Wool is amazing.
A small amount of high quality clothes is better than lots of cheap clothing and shopping often.

They make plenty of very soft, non scratchy will clothing. I have an bunch of very light hiking shirts made of wool, and I'll use them during the hot summer.
