Capsule Wardrobe Project 333: my clothes, step by step

I was not able to finish navy/grey last night, so I'm doing another step-by-step, this time using my own personal 333. This is a thought process that I can describe in great detail! Regarding the final number of tops, jackets, cardigans etc.: start with a general target number for your final wardrobe. I personally like to have 10 "bottoms" (i.e. skirts or pants), and I want 6 or 8 cardigans or blazers, because I wear them frequently. And I know going in that I want to include both a very basic black knit dress, and my road-warrior black velvet Eileen Fisher dress. First, I of course will start with black. I wear a lot of black, and I never get bored or tired of it. (lots of scarves ... View the Post

Capsule Wardrobe Project 333: 2 weeks, with accessories

Yes, there are eight outfits in each week - I just can't find a nice way to show seven outfits on a page!

Now if you dressed like this for two weeks, and someone remarked that you were wearing the same clothes repeatedly, you should just laugh at them, and suggest they get a hobby.

For reference purposes, these are the Project 333 garments:

Capsule Wardrobe Project 333: from the sublime to the ridiculous

After we got back from Paris, belovedest and I agreed that we could have packed less - we had more options than we strictly needed, and we wouldn't have minded having even SMALLER bags...And that made me start pondering the number of options inherent in any "Project 333" that includes 33 pieces of clothing - theoretically more than 1,000.

So, I started illustrating them all.... and my brain ground to a halt at 160 outfits. This would easily get me through 5 months, and I haven't even begun to address the possibilities of my dresses. Wow. I really do NOT need a lot of clothes - I re-learn this fact every day.

Note: although you can't really tell here, the 3 pair of black pants are VERY different from each other ... View the Post

Capsule Wardrobe Project 333: beyond the autumnal equinox

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...
