Outfit planning for a vacation is one of my favorite rituals—it’s like taking a mini trip before the actual trip. The daydreaming, scheming, organizing, and imagining all build anticipation long before you even step on the plane. Next month, we’re heading to the French Alps for a winter sojourn to ski Val d’Isère, which means I’ve been joyfully immersed in finalizing trip details and prepping my packing list.
