Minimalist Spring Capsule Wardrobe | Project 333 | Closet & Dresser Declutter | Second Hand Finds |
Spring is here and it's time to say goodbye to bulky sweaters ... well most of them.
While we tackle decluttering my closet and dresser, and put things in place for Spring, chat with me about my experience implementing Project 333 By Courtney Carver, and how I've purchased several new to me pieces second hand while spending virtually nothing out of my own
pocket.

So glad I found ur channel 😂 you’re one liners are the best. “This is what I wear when someone dies and this is what I wear if I get to go to a wedding… so, my formal wear.” 💀🤣

HAHA! I'm glad you enjoy them. 😅 Thank you for being here. 😊
You look great and this capsule is beautiful. For the record, I have no kids, am in my 40s and I’ve decided I don’t like bras anymore either! Also, I too have items of clothes that look ridiculous but I love them. I usually end up getting rid of them or downgrading them to loungewear. I work from home and am very casual so I don’t have need for dressy clothes either. I would count anything you wear regularly as part of the 33, if that’s what you’re wearing. I’d love to see as you go through the season, or at the end, what didn’t work or what you would ditch. Happy Spring!

Thank you! You get what I’m saying with the bras. 😅 Thank you for watching and sharing your clothing experience. 💕 I didn’t make an update for this video, but I did start doing that with my Fall wardrobe and have one for last Winter as well. It’s all in my capsule wardrobe playlist. 😊
The green linen pants look great. Your capsule is super casual, so maybe those are your “dressy” pants since they aren’t great for running around after babies. The romper looks terrific. If you hadn’t drawn my attention to the “lopsided milk bags,” I would never have noticed. The pattern creates enough visual distraction; I wouldn’t worry about it. I like your style!

Great idea!! It did not once cross my mind to have a pair of dress pants because I rarely find myself in a situation where I need "dressy" pants... but... maybe my husband and I will finally go on a date and I can wear them. 🤣 Thank you for your romper encouragement. I do love it so much. I so appreciate your feedback!! 💕
The romper looks so good on you. Putting a pad in one bra cup can even out your chest area. Pregnancy is so hard on the body but you look great. Fitting into the romper after two years would seem like a victory to me! Once you get rid of the two pair of pants in question you will feel so much better. You will not miss them at all.

Our British weather is awful for seasons! For example, we’re in autumn at the moment and the temperatures will be 21 Celsius at the weekend where I am. That’s warmer than most of our summer temperatures 😮. So I hear you when you say you need 66 items 😅. We’re the same. One day warm the next it’s blowing a gale and raining so you need boots and coats!

That does sound very relatable. I've always wondered if weather in the Pacific Northwest was a similar situation to what you are all experiencing. 😅 This week my son insisted on bringing his umbrella to school all week. Monday - Wednesday it was for the rain and Thursday - Friday it was to keep him shaded in the sun. 🤣
I have never had a baby and I'm lopsided. Steal one of the extra bra pads that aren't sown in and add it to the tinier side to get that visual illusion going. I honestly didn't notice anything in the romper. You looked super cute!

SO CUTE, and I really hope you keep the joggers and romper. Especially the romper. Yes yes yes I love your art teacher vibe, suuuuper cute. I had no idea 33 was so much! I'm pregnant now, and so I have the opposite problem where I had to pack everything away, and couldn't afford dang near anything at all, so I have like, an "underwear in my house" and 9 piece wardrobe lol 😅 hell, a 33 piece wardrobe sounds like luxury at this point! ❤ Enjoy your three months!

I'm parting with the joggers, I wore them one day and they just don't do what I want them to. 😭 Romper is 100% staying though. 👍 Maternity clothes are just so expensive to wear for a few months of your life. I hear you. My last pregnancy was a similar story especially during the summer haha. But it is so wild how much 33 really is. I don't know how I ever managed having more in my closet. So much to think about! Thank you for watching!! 😊

You asked, I answer 😀 Questionable item #1 : if you're not confortable with it in your daily life, you should probably not keep it. Questionable item #3 : if you love it, keep it ! You'll probably regret it if you part with it because you seem to still have a strong attachment to it.

Where do you find you have your best success thrifting? I always find things I like at my local thrift stores.. but they’re never in my size. 🤪 I’ve had my best luck shopping second hand online.
At 13:13 when you panned over the 'situation,' I was overwhelmed for you but it was also a good idea to take a break during such a big project. I like the linen pants but you might only wear them the odd time, like if you're going to an appointment or some casual event. If you're only wanting to keep items that are an option in most everyday situations, then they're not it. I'm not a romper person because I don't understand how they could be practical for going to the bathroom so I can't really comment on that. Others won't notice the boob thing as much as you do, especially because it has a pattern. I hope you can find one with pockets that makes you feel fabulous though!

I hope that each season it will get easier and easier... because that was a little rough. 😅 I hear you on the bathroom situation with rompers. It's so odd going to the bathroom almost completely naked ESPECIALLY in a public restroom. 🤣🤣 But.. I like that I don't ever have to worry about my pants falling down throughout the day haha.

Yes! It’s one of my favorites!
My daughter has special needs and had two lots of open heart surgery. This has also made her very lopsided. Small one side and larger the other. I got her very soft bras with removable padding. I took one side out and put it in the other. You now can’t tell at all. She looks even. Personally if it was myself I wouldn’t care, but I didn’t want my daughter looking odd.😢

I feel like what's made the biggest difference for me personally is that I've finally settled into my style. So, at this point I do have enough pieces that I feel comfortable and confident in and I just don't feel a huge pull to shop like I used to. Don't get me wrong, I still browse. But, I find myself doing so with more intention and less impulse. Also, one of my new years resolutions was to shop more mindfully, so that goal is constantly in the back of my mind. 💕
Rock the romper! No one is noticing your chest, I didn’t even see it. Wear a sweater over it if it makes you feel better.
