Was thinking about how different my essentials are from my Mom's when I was a kid. How long it took her to get ready. Not bad, just different, like all of us.

Surprised to see so many watches. I'd read that watches were fading because people just used their phones.

Don't think watches are necessarily worn for function.

Lip ... something! Even if it's balm!

I have been thinking on this one a long time... I don't count underwear myself because, regardless of feeling, I say you are. not. dressed. without it. The wedding rings kind of just feel part of my person. I go without makeup, hair product, and jewelry plenty.

Finally, I realized that I feel right naked without my handbag. Even if I'm not carrying it, I have to know it's down in my work cubby and looks good with my outfit. I feel really distressed when we go out to a concert and DH says I shouldn't bring a bag. -_-
