Have you heard of Project 333? 33 items of clothing for 3 months . The general gist is you only have 33
items in your wardrobe (including accessories, shoes and jewellery (!) but not including underwear, sleepwear, house clothes or gym clothes) and every 3 months you re-assess your stored items and select 33 items for the next season.Just the thought of it terrifies me.
When I first heard about people having only 33 items in their closest I dismissed it straight away as crazy and not for me. I write a fashion blog, I have to have heaps of clothes right? Fashion is my thing, its what I do. Being minimalistic is just boring, surely. It took me a couple of days of thinking and reading the original blog post I had seen for me to start to consider it and ask myself some questions. Why do I have so many clothes but nothing to wear? Why do I put myself through the frustration and time-wasting of rummaging through huge piles of unwanted clothes to find an outfit? Why do I insist on putting quirky, ‘occasional’ pieces in my main wardrobe in the hopes that I will start wearing them when really they are just in the way and confuse me more?
