Project 333 - It sounds mysterious, doesn't it? But it isn't a nefarious plan by aliens to overtake the world. It is really a lesson in simplicity. Simplicity in dressing. (More can be found on Project 333 by clicking --http://www.theproject333.com/)
Several have taken the challenge to make do with fewer number of garments. I admit that less is not a word normally found in my lexicon. I am a "more" kinda girl. If one is good, two are surely better. It has taken me quite some time to rethink my idea of what a well thought out closet should look like. Used to be that I thought I had to have a different outfit for every possible event. Three to four outfits for church - ten different outfits for work - clothes to work out in - clothes to knock around the house in. You get the idea.
In comes Courtney with her Project 333. Three months wearing 33 items of clothing. Not 33 outfits but 33 items of clothing. The idea of winnowing my clothing choices down to just 33 items seems daunting, if not plain impossible. Thirty three
I started making a mental checklist of my closet. The number of slacks I had. How many blouses, tops and shirts were hanging in there. Belts, scarves, jackets and what-nots. There were items in that closet that I had not worn in months, if not years. I also discovered treasures I had long ago forgotten - like my cowboy boots!
I am taking stock now to determine by 33 pieces over the next three months. If you should decide to join me in doing the same, I would love to hear how it is working for you!
