What's inside
Prepare your clothes and accessories the evening before to reduce morning decision-making and avoid delays. Use this when you have a busy morning or unpredictable weather.
Clothes and accessories are scattered with no outfit chosen for the next day, and some items may be wrinkled or missing.
