![]() Through winter there were times when the weather was making it difficult to get items washed and dried in time for wear on repeat. The majority of my wardrobe remained the same, taking out the warm jacket and jumpers, and replacing them with dresses. On warmer days, back to dresses and no thought about layers for warmth. I added sunhats and swimwear into the Spring mix. I shopped my existing closet from the clothes I had with me. Heading into Spring was an easy transition. I already know which pieces work together. It’s been quite liberating it saves me time getting ready, and my decisions are pretty much pre-made. And there is plenty of room to see everything. The silver lining for me, it's been less effort needed to choose my outfit EVERY morning - zero wardrobe stress. Insert a moment of pure joy when I realised my accidental Project 333 success. Did I mention that mail parcels take 3 months. No fly-in fly-out, no suitcase of winter clothes and no ‘shops’ here. You know where this is going, right?ĬOVID-19. So, I left a suitcase of our family's winter clothes with them, to pick up in April. We planned to meet some family in a mutually convenient destination for Easter Holidays. No “Does this top go with these pants/ skirt?” thoughts as I stood wasting time in front of my wardrobe. Summer was easy, I’m a big fan of a dress, simple footwear and a hat, and sunnies. ![]() I had decluttered, donated and downsized my clothing ready for the move. I also packed 7 pairs of prescription spectacles. ![]() We packed up our lives and brought with us 8 suitcases, a bike, and our puppy in the cargo hold. Almost on impulse, our family had moved to a remote location – the kind of remote you can only fly in and fly out. In the Autumn of 2020, I discovered I was living Project 333 by default. Again I put off the temptation to try Project 333. A wardrobe cleanout was not on the cards. I had lived and travelled from a suitcase years ago, but I wasn’t just going to clear out my closet for the fun of it. The idea came up again when friends went travelling “living out of a suitcase”. It was my kind of thing, and yet, I hadn’t the resolve to try it fully. It is just as relevant today.Ī few years ago, a friend told me she had started Project 333 and was loving it. Her website has resources to help you choose your 33 pieces, and even how to address excuses and fears. Project 333 was born.Ģ020 was the 10 th year of Project 333, and Courtney’s book Project 333 was inspired by the journey. “I need those resources for things that matter more to me”. The blessing - it saves time, money and physical energy. ![]() ![]() So, Courtney came up with the idea of 33 items for 3 months. She wanted to conserve her energy for the things that mattered most.Īs part of the pare-down, she decided to make a go of a simplified wardrobe, after learning that most people only wear 20% of the clothes they own, and they wear those same clothes 80% of the time. “Having too much to choose from is not always a blessing”. – Courtney acknowledged she spent much of her adult life tired, stressed, sick and doing work without a purpose, just to make ends meet. In 2010 Courtney Carver, a woman living with Multiple Sclerosis, (after a shock diagnosis in 2006) decided she needed to simplify everything so that she could focus on a healthier, happier life. A life-changing diagnosis and ‘can do’ attitude began this journey for one woman. The Project 333 lifestyle can make mornings stress-free and give you a renewed perspective on your wardrobe. ![]()
