I
can't believe it has been over 3 months ago I started project 333.
I
also can’t describe the joy it has brought me. I no longer feel the need to buy
new clothes all the time and I spend way less time getting ready in the
morning.
Now
for good honesty’s sake, I will confess my sins first. Yes I cheated. Due to an
unexpected job interview, I took a dress from my storage. Didn’t get the job
(didn’t want it either) and I didn’t wear the dress after. I also did not wear
all the clothes in my capsule. *shudder* *I’m sorry*
On
the brighter side, I am discovering my style! Do I have a style? Guess I do. I
have been wearing my little black summer dress with my bright floral leggings
as soon as they came out of the washing machine. I LOVE this outfit. I am also
wearing it while building my fall capsule. You know, as a sort of farewell
party. Until next spring!
Lovely, #nomakeup.
The list
First, my list. I didn’t hold much to it the last time, let us see how I fared. I think I will become better at this in time.Pants
First up are the pants. I get to choose three, I only choose two. I could hold on to my summer jeans but I feel a darker comfy pair would suit me better for fall. So I keep my dark chino’s and some black jeans and put a comfy pair of pants on my shopping list.t-Shirts
Next up are my t-shirts. I have already donated a white shirt from my summer capsule because it was falling apart. I decided to donate another plain dark blue shirt. For my capsule I am keeping two printed shirts and I am storing the rest for spring.Longsleeves
Now for the long sleeved shirts, I am donating three I don’t wear a lot. A printed wolf shirt I like, but don’t love and two turtlenecks. Turtlenecks don’t look pretty on me.I capsule three basic shirts in fall colours (purple, black and green) and two beige thermal shirts. Nice and neutral.
Sweaters
I just don’t love my hoodies enough. Sigh. They are too cute and comfy to donate, but I just don’t wear them on a day to day basis. So I boxed them up and capsuled a pretty blue fleece sweater.Dresses and skirts
Oh my nemesis. I LOVE all my dresses! But I gave myself a very strict five so here we go. Because I loved my little black dress with bright leggings so much, I capsuled two little black dresses. I also capsuled the blue dress I wore for my interview. It really is a pretty, versatile and comfy dress. I capsuled my mini skirt and my favorite dress, a pretty floral dress with an oriental neckline.Leggings
I gave myself room for three leggings. Of course a goes with everything black one and this time two printed ones to wear with my two black dresses. Yay!Shoes
I never seem to have the right shoes. I was looking forward to wearing my tall dark boots again, and my wannabe cowboy booties and sneakers with furry insides. But now I have all shoes with heels. I decided to put some plain ballerina’s on my shopping list.Coats
The coat was simple. I didn’t get to wear my new coat due to a very warm summer, which is unheard of in Holland. Very un Dutch.Scarves
I was thinking of buying a new scarf but I discovered the cute stripy one. My green cowl is also a very loved item in fall.Jackets and vests
I gave myself room for five, yet only capsuled four. A black wooly vest, a black blazer with floral lining (LOVE that one), a long printed vest and a plain dark brown one. I thought I could swap the space for a new printed legging I have been ogling for months now. It depicts a scene from Alice in Wonderland with Alice and the Chesshire cat.Hats
This left me with hats. I have hoarded cute hats and decided to donate one I don’t even like. Then I picked two of my most fall-y hats. The fox ears and my purple slouchy beany. It has sequins and in can cover all my hair comfortably while in an updo.
Shoppings
Now on my shopping list were a comfy pair of pants, some
simple flats and perhaps a new legging. Unfortunately my budget is a bit tight
at the moment and I really need a new jacket for my running. So I have bought a
lovely pair of dark stretchy paints and some plain flats and decided to reward
myself with a dress from my storage as the 33rd piece.
So here it is! My 33 piece fall masterpiece. I love it.
Did you change your wardrobe for fall yet?
I'm impressed! I would have to walk around in the same pants and shirt 3 months just to be able to put all my shoes in capsule ;)
ReplyDeleteMaybe a project 333 with just shoes then? I know you have more than 33 pairs ;)
