“intriguing in its simplicity. getting ready/packing is something i find challenging (ADHD), even day-to-day, so having a list such as this would probably be life-changing. I can attest to the power of costume—an outfit repeatedly turned to (or iterated) is now symbolic, is now armour, is now “yours”.”
