My wardrobe is a mess.
All of my recent clothing purchases have come as a result of packing errors and missed flights.
And I've been buying my clothes now at Eddie Bauer, a place I'd not shopped before last year. It's not because I like their merchandise (I guess I do, but that's not why I shop there). I shop at Eddie Bauer because it's on Michigan Avenue around the corner from my Chicago hotel.
I am adding to my wardrobe items not chosen to compliment what I already own. Thursday night I bought a blue shirt comfortable for wearing on a flight the following morning, a clean undershirt and new socks. I had missed my flight hours earlier and it was rescheduled for the following morning; I had nothing clean to wear.
I arrived in Chicago on one trip back in the fall, and when I got to my hotel I found a notice in my suitcase that informed me TSA had inspected by bag. And wouldn’t you know it – all of my pants were now missing! And I was in Chicago for four days. Talk about being inconvenienced by our country’s present security measures!
So I pressed on, as I usually do, only to find three pairs of slacks hanging on the doorknob of my study, where I’d failed to pack them beforehand.

This is why I always make a list, then check everything off as I pack. I tend to forget the little things; money, tickets, and the house keys.
Now is the time. Come out of your shell and buy a man skirt.
I think Bothell is referring to what Pacicic Northwesterns call a "utility kilt." Which is much better than the trashier "dude dress."
