You know I love a capsule wardrobe. I recently read a book, “The 333 Project”. The premise of this book is to create seasonal capsule wardrobes that contain no more than 33 pieces. These 33 pieces include shoes, outwear, jewelry and accessories. I am very intrigued by this idea. I love the idea of doing with less. Last year I did a 140 piece wardrobe challenge: it really worked for me. I found that I spent much less money buying things I really need, learned how to figure out what things I truly loved, and spent much less time getting dressed…
33 items is a small list though…could I pair down to 33 things for a season?
I decided to give it a try. So I present to you my Spring 2020 333 Project….or as I like to call it, The Quarantine Fifteen…
This may look like a nightshirt, but tucked into my sweatpants, with a sweatshirtthrown over it. it’s the perfect outfit to walk your dog in
Long sleeve black t shirt for when it gets chilly
LBT- little black t shirt
fleece sweats
leggings
whimsical t shirt
my fitbit so i can track my 1,000 steps
suddenly, a bathrobe becomes a lovely spring coat for chilly mornings
grey funnel neck fleece sweatshirt- the practical nek can be pulled over one’s face
A hoody if laying on your couch gives you a chill
the stylish woman once again dons gardening gloves on her daily shopping
classic grey t shirt
house slippers that are so well sorn there’s a hole in the toe
my DIY mask- for the style conscious quarentiner
running (?) sneakers

Being an SEO consultant I work from home and usually go dressed in a black turtle neck, blue jeans and a pair of sneakers (Yes, I really do dress like Steve Jobs). For me 33 pieces would be an extension.. lol

Perfect post for my day today! I plan on moving my winter clothes to the spare room closet and bring my spring/summer clothes to my room closet! We have small closets but still I need some organization. I doubt I am close to a capsule wardrobe but I am determined to slim down my wardrobe! Well, determined to slim down me too but that’s another subject! lol Thanks for the inspiration.

Honestly, the book is really quite good as inspiration to whittle your wardrobe. I think she has a website too, 333Project. She really makes you think about the living with less thing. If you want a jumpstart, even if you can’t go down to that few items, it’s motivating…

I can beat 33… scrub top, scrub pants, athletic socks, athletic shoes and the rest of the time jeans and literally the same t-shirt or sweatshirt traded out throughout the week plus #2 pair of non-work athletic shoes. 8 total I believe. Now that is a capsule wardrobe 😉

I’ve been wearing leggings. As a SAHM I wore this before corona…so not much different.
Today I put on pants. They are slightly stretchy but not leggings stretchy. To venture grocery shopping.
I must continue to wear pants to ensure no additional weight keeps up on me. They are snugger, but not (yet) uncomfortable snug…
Just sayin’.
Ps can we ditch the winter stuff now?

I suppose I could get by with less but I like to wear a different pair of leggings every day and tops to match. I don’t think I could handle the all (mostly) black look all the time. I do like black and pink together. It is one of my favorite color combos.
