It sure seems like she spent a long time thinking about how not to think about what to wear. My dressing habits can fit in a tweet.

shrug That's not too much different than "It sure seems like I spent a long time thinking about how to not think about how to build and deploy my app". Put think time in now, so that you don't have to spend it later (or every day)

A good point and one that I've also made further down. Spend it initially so you don't have to spend it later. Can't explain how much time it's saved me over the years.

I too couldn't help but notice that she spent an awful lot of timing thinking through her fashion to be "liberated" from "taking up too much time and energy" deciding what to wear.

It's an up-front investment in time that pays off over the long run. I do it all the time in programming, pick the right API's and abstractions ahead of time (spend a good amount of energy and time) so I don't have to spend as much time and energy later. Eventually it pays off--a lot. If you think how you dress doesn't affect how people treat you in the world, you're terribly mistaken. Even more if you are a woman.

This is a nice hack.

I couldn't help but notice that she does not write a full blog post every time she gets dressed.

That's certainly a step in the right direction.
