I never thought about putting a shirt on top of a dress, it looked really cute, what a great idea to add more variety!

I think it's liberating us from decision fatigue

I have been doing Project 333 for several years. I usually do 1 month at a time and I don’t include accessories, shoes or handbags. It’s a great way to stimulate your creativity and shorten the decision time in the morning. It’s also a wonderful way to welcome back favorite items when you rotate them back into circulation. Thanks for your videos.

That's such a good idea! I'm not sure I could ever part with my whole wardrobe because there's so many things I love but I do like that idea of the rotation!

I don't see the point. If you own all the clothing, wear it all. Why limit yourself?

Ooo, I think I really love this concept, because I live in a place where each season is so different. Curious, how do you store your unused clothes? (I'm thinking I'll just put the not-using-right-now clothes in cardboard boxes in my closet somewhere)

@@massages_for_world_peace8909 I usually move the unused clothes to a different part of the closet so it’s obvious that they’re not in current rotation. If I have the space, I take them out of the closet and store them away.

I have about 30 pieces total, for all four seasons. Think it definitely depends on your appearance preference. I don't mind wearing the same shirt more than once a week. But some people are so used to wearing different outfits every day.

I've never purposely done the 333 challenge but over the last year (pre covid) I've travelled constantly for work a month or two at a time living out of a carry on. It was surprisingly nice! Having less options forced me to be more creative with my cloths but was so stress-free and time saving when getting ready everyday.

Hi , thanks for this video. I have a huge walk in closet full of outfits and accessories . During the Covid lockdown, I started spring cleaning and selling my clothes online. I started to feel I really don’t need as much and I truly want to be more sustainable in my fashion choices . I relearnt that limiting choices does not equate looking bad . In fact, it felt more liberating as I declutter. Your video affirms that and motivates me to continue decluttering, to live on less as a way to live more not less abundantly 🙏🏻

Love this! I think the lockdown has really made a lot of people assess their wardrobes! We really don't need as much as we think we do. I was really surprised how well this challenge went - I learned a lot but I can make smarter choices now!

Would love for you to do this for the fall in September/October!!

@@byerinelizabeth Looking forward to this!

You have a few year-round pieces, but you can swap out summer for fall, fall for winter, winter for spring, and back to summer. I store the “off-season” pieces in another closet. I started a capsule wardrobe when I moved overseas for a couple years, and when I moved back home, I donated all the other clothes I had left at home. I was so satisfied with my capsule wardrobe that I really only wanted to replace worn out items instead of adding more items. By the way, for years I have vacationed with a 10 item wardrobe which can take me through a multiple week trip.

I’m going to try this for winter. I often feel overwhelmed with the amount of clothing I own. It makes it harder not easier to get dressed in the morning.

Your remarks were really useful,and I will try to put more attention into my selections. I didn't start a capsule wordrobe by choice, but I saw that I was coming back to the same few pieces this summer: basiscs, some shirts and pants that go well with everything. It's quite satisfying to have some pieces that you can create easily outfits with. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your experience! Seeing the lookbook i feel that noone would have known you were on a challenge,it felt like a complete wardrobe! I've never really tried such a challenge but i find that i usually gravitate towards the same loved pieces and i keep rewearing those 🙂of course here we have four seasons too so i couldn't wear summer clothes in winter but as you said smaller groups of clothes for each season would be great!

TY. Yes. I am working to downsize. I have heard of it. I admire anyone who can downsize to that point year-round. I don't think I can ever get to that limited a wardrobe. I am thinking about limiting myself to 10 or less of each category. If I can ever get there, maybe I will create a channel and talk about it.

I don’t think I could manage without a white T-shirt, long-sleeved for cool weather, short for hot. Thanks for sharing your findings from this experiment - it’s really helpful💕

Entering into fall/winter in WNY and I am definitely going to try this. I am NOT a minimalist, but the idea of simplifying my wardrobe and life is something i would love to try!

As a northerner I’d suggest that people don’t include winter gear in their 333 challenge. They’re for safety, not for fashion, so they’re necessities. Plus a hat, scarf, gloves, boots and a parka suck up 5 of your 33 items! Haha

Loved the video!! I would love to see you doing winters ❤️🔥

Loved this little série! I found myself having the same insight while I decluttered my wardrobe : it so much easier to pick what to wear! However, you need to adopt a neutral/precise colour palette to make all the pieces work together.

HI, First thank you for your videos :). I'm a shophoolic ;) and I wanted to try the 333....I found a stylist that made a video on this. She said that accessories, shoes, bathing suits, underwears, pyjamas, special events and workout clothes doesn't count. Then its 33 items per season depending on your country...So as me who live in Qc its 33 x 4. In Florida you don't need as much as we do in Canada witch make more sense to me and felt less restrictive . I picked up 66 items for autumn /winter and I will do the same for spring/summer. It really helps me and Im happy with the choices Ive made. :) Im not a minimalist and sometimes its seems the capsule and minimalism are mixed. I just wanted to stop buying ramdlm things and focus on buiding a much more organised wardrobe with items I love only.

Love this!!! I’d love to see your fall/winter wardrobe! I live where I get 3 seasons: summer, fall and winter!

What I learned from your look book is that is a white skirt and top looks great! (as well as white jeans which I already have) So I will be on the lookout for some great white fabric. I sew - which is a great help. Liz :)

I would count a white tee and black tee as “underwear” and not part of the 33 (just a little cheating 😉). Loved your looks!

333 is totally doable in 4 seasons; i'm in chicago & i have a complete 4-season wardrobe of 30-40 items (accessories & shoes not incl.) for the past 3yrs

@@byerinelizabeth Absolutely loving it! Have 35 items for my Summer/Spring wardrobe. Planning according to a colour palette also helps a lot... and is something I learned the hard way. I found it difficult to include my jewellery and 'bad weather' outer wear in the count. Initially I only had 2 pairs of earrings and 2 necklaces in my count, but getting dressed became so boring a task and I felt so dull. Decided to bring in some colourful jewellery pieces I loved, and.. problem solved! I think that the relentless rainy weather and cloudy days in Ireland was an influencing factor to my decision. I'm very excited to complete my Fall/winter capsule, and to see what you come up with! Loving your videos!

I also think, for Canada and similar climates, outdoor-only cold-weather essentials, like gloves, snow-boots, beanies, heavy wool scarves should be excluded from the 33 pieces. After all, you remove them indoors, they are really utilitarian. In my mild-climate California location, these are optional accessories for most places and activities, so I will include them. We wear them for style, not necessity.

Good job! Love the graphic T outfits

I have done capsules when I travel but for real life they just do not work for me. I do so many different things that having just a few things is too limiting. For instance if we want to go out then I really like to have festive things, I love the outdoors so need very casual things I can move in. For the everyday stuff I do kinda have those things I rotate but for the rest of life it is too limiting. Oh and then there are the seasons............Summer I need stuff for the heat, Spring and Fall are inbetween and I need many more layers.............and then Winter..........I need things that really, really keep me warm. That said I do not have a million things and try to have versatile things. To me the most important thing is that if it is in my closet I have to love it and feel good wearing it.

What I was going to post...33 items for 3 months is the originator, Courtney Carver’s, structure. So you have 4 sets of 33 or interchange for less items total.

Why limit yourself? Someone's idea that turned stupid. If you own all those cloths, wear them. What a waste to chose a few pieces and park the rest in limbo.
