I solved it, but with two errors. My main problem is that I never heard of kitten heels. In fact, my knowledge of women’s shoes is altogether limited. ---

I fell for a red herring, and then had to look up two of the words because I’d never heard of them (under any meaning). Also saw another category that wasn’t there, but there were only two words in it. ---

Connections Puzzle #1245 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 πŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺ 🟩🟩🟩🟩 I spent a minute looking for a fourth island, until the state names hit me. Then after getting yellow out of the way, I didn’t see a fourth shirt (never heard of RINGER). Coincidentally, I’m attending a Carolina Hurricanes game tonight, so β€œCANE” in that context was already in my head and allowed me to suss out purple, leaving the last green as a leftover. Fun mental workout today. ---
