Capsule wardrobes inspired by art and nature
September 21, 2012 I've been thinking a lot about the idea of having a target number of garments to pack. The clarity and focus that this lends to the packing process is interesting, and can be useful if you're the kind of person who wants to toss their entire closet into the suitcase... Today, I'm over at Tish's, exploring the possibilities.
love,
Janice

Project 333 has been a wonderful success chez moi, and I'm going to continue, with a seasonal "switch out" of clothes to accommodate cold weather. I'm still loving the summer assortment, well past the end of August and the theoretical end of the first "3", so the change over will probably take place on the first day of fall.This is what I'm planning - bear in mind that I need to pack for eight days in Paris from this assortment...
I plan to pursue A Common Wardrobe - probably on Saturdays, for at least a few more weeks. The potential within that framework is nearly endless...

It's been her favorite color since she was three years old, and she sees NO reason to give it up as an adult...
So are we weary of this idea? Frankly, I know many people who dress exactly like this, and I have at least six or seven more iterations of the theme available, if you're interested in seeing them...
