I had to leave town suddenly over the weekend because my 87-year-old father had an acute health crisis that caused him to be flown to a hospital in Spokane, three hours from his home in Walla Walla, Washington. It resolved quickly, I’m glad to say, and I was able to arrive just in time to drive him home from the hospital and stay with him for a week to take him to his follow up appointments.
There were many reasons to be stressed in the situation after I got the call, but at least I wasn’t stressed about packing. There are so few clothes in my closet that selecting what to wear was a piece of cake. Plus, my travel toiletries kit is always packed, so all I had to do was throw in my electric toothbrush and call Lyft. (Well, and book a flight and rental car.)
I keep finding new ways to appreciate having fewer clothes in my closet!

Your minimal closet continues to be an inspiration to me! (I lived with about 50 pieces for the winter and liked it for many of the reasons you give, but I’m a bit stalled out on revamping for spring.)
