Before I share my capsule wardrobe list, I want to tell you why its important. Its not about the perfect pair of jeans or little black dress or how I accessorize. In fact, Im the last person you should ask for fashion advice. Im much more interested in how we are living our lives and taking care of ourselves than what we are wearing.
Deciding what to wear might not change your life, but deciding how to decide what to wear thats life changing.
At first, one of the places I resisted simplifying was my closet and today one of the simplest places in my life is my closet. Interestingly, my chaotic, clutter-filled closet added stress to the rest of my life and my simple, calm, decision-free closet has removed stress from my life.
2020 is the 10th anniversary of Project 333 so this clearly not a passing fad. Because this challenge is changing closets AND lives, its not going anywhere (except into more closets maybe yours).
I hear from people on a daily basis about their Project 333 experiences.
Heres a few of them
- I have a new sense of freedom from my past. Certain clothes reminded me of jobs and seasons of my life 15+ years ago. Now I have an incredible sense of presence coupled with an excitement for the future!
- By decluttering my wardrobe I learned slowly, that I dont need stuff in order to feel good about myself.
- I finally started realizing what I like and that clothes do not change who I am. I still like to look nice and put together, but I do not let clothes determine who I am.
- I love my simple but beyond enough wardrobe, taking better care of what I have and all the free time, peace and ease that fewer choices bring.
