This is why you *always* set out your clothing in advance of an important event:

I do not know what happened to my favorite dress.  I do not remember having someone splatter me with grape juice the last time I wore it – or I would have dealt with the stains at that time.   (Those stains are in the middle of my back!)

But I had time to try to salvage it, fail, and prepare my second-best dress for my meeting tomorrow.   I’ve also put out the jewelry that I will wear, sorted out my business bag, written down directions, copied out notes – I’m ready.

Even though my very favorite dress won’t be ready for anything at all, ever again.
