Zippers have always been my favorite clothing feature. In addition to the obvious allowance for easy access, zippers have a certain confidence to them. Buttons say “I’m not sure,” but zippers… they know.

I would say that 1 out of every 5 items in my closet contains a zipper. Pants excluded, its still 1 in 7.

The problem is, thanks to my new nose like a bloodhound, I can’t stand the smell of them anymore. No longer can I zip up my cozy knit without thinking, “who just waved a stack of pennies under my nose?”

I already can’t wear 1/7th of my clothes anymore and it has nothing to do with how fat I am (yet).
