Composition:
Anything black and easily packed.
Usage:
For once, a fashion rule was a comfort. "This is what you wear."
On Tuesday, I didn't particularly care about my "look." I left it unadorned. Perfunctory.
My aunt sat in front of me, and I focused on her patterned jacket. I traced its swirls, finding comfort in the repetition.
For once, I embraced a fashion rule. It was order, a solace.

Thanks for sharing in this difficult time, Katie. I'm sending all my best wishes to you and your family.
Your simple words and the silences between them speak touchingly here, as I imagine your simple black outfit spoke in its own way, too.
