Also, I'm impressed that you opted to avoid the utility of jeans, which would have created 1 or 2 more slots for non-pant items. Or a PodCamp Pittsburgh t-shirt, which is suitable for business meetings, weddings and funerals. Best wishes on the battlefield of perception. I look forward to hearing just how few people notice anything.

I've already been living out of a suitcase—containing probably more like twelve items of clothing—for the last two and a half weeks, and while it's not been terrible, I can't wait to get home and have more choices again. Which is not to say that I don't <em>desperately</em> need to go on a clothing diet. I have enough clothes that as long as I neither grow nor shrink significantly, I could probably make it through the rest of my life without ever buying anything new except underwear and wool tights. But I take too much pleasure in dressing like a kook to whittle it all down to six, or even sixty, items. Though maybe that should become a goal . . . Good luck! No, I will not join you!
