QOTD: Project 333
I recently read about Project 333 - an exercise in "living with less" by limiting your wardrobe to just 33 items (including clothing, accessories, jewelry, outerwear and shoes) for 3 months at a time. These items are not counted as part of the 33 items: wedding ring or other piece of jewelry that you never take off, underwear, sleep wear, in-home lounge wear, and workout clothing (which can only be worn to workout).
If you chose to participate, what are 3 "must wear" items that would absolutely make the cut?
What items(s) would you first put away or get rid of?
If challenged to participate, do you think you could do it?
Re: QOTD: Project 333
For me that's easy peasy because nobody cares what I look like. I could get by with 2 pairs of shorts, 1 pair of jeans, and a few short and long sleeved v necks, flip flops and ballet flats. lol
I'd get rid of a bunch of my sweaters and dresses.
I really should try this. lol!
Black dress pants, dark wash jeans, my go-to black & white lace cami
What items(s) would you first put away or get rid of?
Everything that doesn't fit! ha! Shirts that can't be worn in multiple settings (work, evening out, & going to the grocery store). T-shirts because I don't ever wear them, except maybe to bed. I could get rid of a few pair of jeans (but that would fall in the doesn't fit category too).
If challenged to participate, do you think you could do it?
It's seasonal, right? So I can pull out my winter boots and sweaters later, right?
Yea, I could do it. I very rarely wear accessories/jewelry and don't really like shoes. It's nice out so I wouldn't need any outerwear.
1 necklace
3 pair of shoes Do workout shoes count if only worn to workout?
4 pairs of pants
1 skirt
2 dresses
3 nursing tanks
2 nursing shirts
1 shrug
That leaves me with 15 or 16 shirts and tank tops, depending on if I need to count workout shoes. I'm assuming that socks count as underwear items, but if not, I guess subtract 4 shirts so I'd have 2 pair of workout socks and 2 pair of black dress socks.
I could sort of do this, I have stuff that fits in the workout area and not fit area.
1brown pair of dress pants
4/5pairs of black dress pants
1gray pair
2pairs of jeans
3pairs of goucho pants (black/gray/brown)
and probably about 10-15tops I rotate, I wear the same brown or black dress shoes depending one what I'm wearing. And I've had the same dress sandals since HS, as I bought them in Italy- such fine Italian leather
And I actually, just tossed out a few pairs of flip flops. But still! This is good!
