"Oh, by the way, the outfit that your parents are wearing today was a gift from Rosemary, and yours," Martha added once again. "You might want to take a look at the seasonal wardrobe."
The seasonal wardrobe, as the name implies, was where the unwanted and unused clothes were temporarily stored. After a while, some of the better pieces would be picked out for donation—a kind of charitable act.

Serena could hardly contain her surprise. When she went to take a look, she found her carefully selected pieces—some of which she had even paid a pretty penny for a designer to tailor specifically for her parents—all shoved to the back.
They were not worn, not even once!
She felt a pang of disappointment.
