Travel

Analyzing clothing use after travel

This lets me see how clothes were spread out over time, how much I used items, and whether I missed any days in recording. It also lets me see days with multiple outfits (A/B).

Outfit density Result: Less efficient than I hoped, but that was okay.

Pretty good use
