In Week 10 Action Plan I briefly talk about Project 333, in this post I will go into depth about my plans for my capsule wardrobe, and I will do a follow up post when I change over my capsule. Project 333 is 33 clothing and accessory items for three months. Here in New Zealand we are transitioning into spring, so layers will be important this change over.

Project 333 Rules

THe full rules are over at Minimalist Fashion Challenge Project 333 Refresher +Q&A https://bemorewithless.com/therules/ Or Coutney Carvers book Project 333 (https://amzn.to/3SJ8m3v affiliate link).

• Change over every 3 months. Here in New Zealand: Spring starts 1 September, Summer starts 1 December, Autumn, 1 March, and Winter 1 June. But when you start its not rigidly timebound.
• You have 33 items that include clothing, accessories, jewellery, outerwear, and shoes.
• Items not included: wedding rings, other sentimental, jewellery that you never take off, underwear, sleepwear, in-home lounge wear, workout clothing (as long as you don’t wear them everyday, otherwise they are counted towards the 33 items).
• What to do: choose 33 items and box up the rest to store until you change over.
• This is not a project about suffering. If something breaks or gets holes in or just doesn’t work, replace it
• Create a wardrobe that you can live, work, and play in.

Benefits

• Easier to put outfits together
• Less stress when getting dressed
• Clear closet clutter
• Develop a personal style
• Generally living with just what you need
