I love lists; they're so neat and organized and finite. Three Ways to Wear a Jacket, or Five Trends for Spring, or Ten Must-Have Basics. Lists can be inspirational and provocative, and we all know that a list is a great starting point when we're thinking about what to wear, or what to shop for. The problem with the list, though, is that it doesn't take into account the individual rhythms of each of our lives: are you 20 or 60? do you work full-time or stay home with your children? do you even HAVE children? how about pets? do you iron? dry clean? hand wash? pre-treat?
