I think the clothing Scott described was meant to make people think she was NOT wearing what she wore the night before, because if he had given the actual clothing she was in, his story of Dec 24 does not pan. She would not have worn the same clothes two days in row, not someone who loved appearances and entertaining.

He probably wanted to say something bland that every woman would have, so that no one would either look for a specific unusual outfit and find it still in the closet, or say "She didn't have a [whatever] dress!" He figured every woman could have a couple of black pairs of pants, and more than one white shirt.

Good point.

Very good thoughts. So we are anticipating that Amy will say, no, I never could find that outfit Laci was wearing on the 23rd, and I went through all of her clothes.

Next question: suppose Geragos asks her, okay, well did you find her black maternity pants and white, longsleeved maternity top? Were they in the house?

If Laci had more than one black pair of pants, and more than one white longsleeved maternity top, then the answer won't matter much. But suppose she only had one outfit like that, and suppose Scott was diabolical enough to have thought to get rid of it?

That is a good point. Plus, I've read that pathological liars actually keep their lies very close to the truth. So if he consciously reversed her outfit, he was "close to the truth" in saying when he last saw her she was wearing black and white.
