I can just step out of the door and start running.

I no longer need to search for the specific tshirt that matches those colour shorts or the socks that go with that other pair of running shoes. That is what I wear when I run and that decision has been made.
#Project 333 full size
Investing in quality over quantity.Įventually, I replaced the full size wardrobe and draws with a simple clothes rail. I now own less than 33 items of clothing, which are mostly dark, neutral, keeping things simple and avoiding colours requiring additional items to match. My body was changing at pace so it didn’t make sense to replace the clothes quickly. I used Project 333 to become more intentional with the clothes I wore and purchased. This meant donating the clothes that no longer fit me. Whilst losing weight and improving my health & fitness, over the course of a year, I slimmed down from wearing an XL to a medium. If your clothes don’t fit or are in poor condition, replace them.Īfter adopting minimalism, one of the biggest changes was to my wardrobe. Remember that this is not a project in suffering. What else: consider that you are creating a wardrobe that you can live, work and play in for three months.How: Choose your 33 items, box up the remainder of the wardrobe items, seal it with tape and put it out of sight.

What not: these items are not counted as part of the 33 items – wedding ring or another sentimental piece of jewellery that you never take off, underwear, sleep wear, in-home lounge wear and workout clothing (but your workout clothes have to workout).What: 33 items including clothing, accessories, jewellery, outerwear and shoes.When: Every three months (It’s never too late to start so join in anytime!).This helped me to prioritise a healthier lifestyle, which snowballed from start running, to better eating habits, more sleep, rest and recovery.Ī simple capsule wardrobe is an approach adopted by many successful people, including Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, Joshua Fields Millburn, Joshua Becker and Andrew Odom, to name but a few. The time & space gained can be used to plan and prepare.

Often, too much time is spent seeking the best option – you spend all the time choosing and not actually taking action. I found that by streamlining and spending less time & energy deciding what to wear, I had more bandwidth available for making more important decisions. Simplifying your wardrobe is one of the best ways to create more time & space, allowing you to focus on the important things. Project 333 is the minimalist fashion challenge by Courtney Carver, that invites you to dress with 33 items or less for 3 months.

Today is 1st October and the perfect opportunity to simplify & start a capsule wardrobe with Project 333.
