Confessions of a Wardrobe Manager

   My wife has a closet full of clothes..All kinds and colors..All kinds of styles and seasons.

   On various trips she has admired and even bought different separates and outfits that show her own personal taste and style.




   So, what does she get to wear these days?

   What does one get to wear when one cannot use her right hand or arm to facilitate the putting on of clothes for the day or occasion?

   Right, she gets to wear what her wardrobe manager puts out for her.

   And what sort of items does he choose on a regular basis?

   Those that are easy to put on and take off. Those that are not burdened with lots of zippers, buttons or clasps. Things that have waistbands with elastic for easy exit.

   She is good about the choices, although I do find her in the closet looking wistfully toward some of her favorite outfits that do not make my practical cut these days.

   I find myself choosing the same pants, blouses and shirts a lot of the time. In fact, I could probably rotate the same ones from wearing, to washer and dryer, to closet and back to wearing, most of the time.

   Perhaps it is time to get out of that rut and use something that might give her a sense of ownership in her wardrobe.

   Could I put a smile on her face with a fresh approach to her clothes?

   But the rut is so much easier to stay in..

   Watch and see...
