Get-togethers are being planned without Zoom links. Restaurant diners are venturing back inside. As the vaccine rollout continues to gain speed, more companies are reopening their offices. We’re officially heading into new times. From a wardrobe perspective, these developments have generally meant one thing: putting on non-stretchy pants again.
Buttons and zippers and buckles are back, and with them more difficult decisions about what to wear to be seen in the world.

“Oh, that one’s pretty,” called a volunteer, on hand to help transfer the sequins and sparkles, the satin, chiffon, organza and crepe to Ronda’s Closet at Aldersgate United Methodist Church. The program provides free prom dresses to girls who need them and even has a selection of shoes to complete the look.

With all due respect to Marie Kondo, it isn’t just about getting rid of things. Here’s what the experts know that you may not.

An overstuffed closet is a daily frustration: sweaters falling off shelves, shoes that seem to disappear into a black hole, closets rods cluttered with so many hangers that squeezing even one more in requires herculean strength. So we force the door shut and try to ignore the problem, even as we accumulate more stuff.
Twixt two or three is his usual time He starts to stare, to tell me that soon We have to go for a walk He has places to go and things to smell P-mail to read at every stop sign Bushes to sniff, to enjoy every whiff Let’s just go ‘round the block The sound of his leash in the closet hung Sets him off, ears erect and tail high He willingly comes to be adorned And offer a happy bark So off we go on our appointed rounds Neither sleet nor rain or gloom of night Restrains this handsome, eager hound
