She puts together some gorgeous outfits! <br /><br />To be honest though, I don't actually even HAVE that much of a wardrobe at the moment, or at least, not a wardrobe that works. I only took out around 20 items to get to 31, and of those I rarely/never wore about 6-8 of them.

I did it once, and it was fun to challenge myself to wear my favorite items in new ways, but by the end I missed the rest of my wardrobe so much.

I'm way too grubby and prone to spillage for that combination, half my wardrobe would be out of commission by the end of the second week.<br /><br />One of the most fun things I did while I was convincing myself that I should do the 33 piece wardrobe thing was put together images of a totally imaginary 33-piece wardrobe. I pretended I had no existing clothes, no budget constraints and I had all the sewing skills in the world. I put together a wardrobe from scratch using RTW images I pulled off the net, line drawings of patterns I've ear-marked as things I'd really like to own, and my own fabric stash. It was actually that exercise of the imaginary wardrobe and actually really WANTING that wardrobe that convinced me to try it for real even with all the constraints I actually have :Dwestmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-32161310628997139442013-09-04T15:29:29.512+01:002013-09-04T15:29:29.512+01:00Thanks!

I hope you reach your long term personal goal. <br /><br />There are some style blogs I follow & your rendition of Project 333 reminds me of Sheila's Emphemera's 12 month capsule dressing challenge. She called it 30 for 30 by 12. I couldn't find a link to the very start, but here's one to her favorite month. <br /><br />http://sheilaephemera.blogspot.com/2013/03/30-for-30-capsule-challenge-favourite.htmlJuliNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11522562002454342787noreply@blogger.com
