Joan Didion’s Packing List
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”.

“No more stylish list than the ultimate cool girl’s packing guide.”

“I love Joan Didion’s writing. I know myself and I know my tastes and sensibilities would have had similar reactions to the zeitgeist of the 60s and 70s. I’m still in my chronological read through of all her work that I started last summer.This was a reread and it’s still excellent. Her take down of the pointless and tacky Reagan governors’ mansion is a national treasure.”
