s. For me, the moment of truth came a few weeks ago when I could no longer squeeze into my jeans. Any of them. Faced with the rather unpleasant possibility of living my life in sweatpants, I swallowed my pride and set off for TJ Maxx, where I purchased two pairs of name-brand jeans in a larger size for less than I typically pay for one.

The dress itself is unremarkable: It’s a great triangle of grey linen that some tell me is green, although I can only ever see the color in a certain light. It came with a small tie belt, which I used to wear to preserve my waistline. Not anymore. I let it hang, embracing the potato sack look. 2020 turned us all—at least somewhat—into potatoes.  You may be asking, “Why not just opt for leggings?” Some people are beautifully capable of frolicking through their to-do lists and work tasks wearing athleisure.
