So, after much deliberation and trial runs (yes, really), I've decided. I've picked out my project 333 wardrobe:
|
This is the monochrome look. Or just a couple of work shirts and a
couple of my favourite tops (despite black and white not being "my"
colours). |
|
These are my trousers. Two pairs of blue jeans (I'm sure I should choose different colours, but I don't have different coloured jeans and couldn't be bothered to go out and buy more - and sort of defeats the purpose), two pairs of patterned summer trousers (not everyone's taste, but I'm loving these. I can also get away with them at work (just)), navy linen trousers (which passed the work test today), one pair of black work trousers and some purple cut-off shorts. |
|
|
Here are my jackets for the next three months (apologies for the "on the stairs" presentation). I think I am being optimistic, neither of them is particularly warm, which I may need for a British summer. I have my camel-colour rain coat, which I love, for work/looking smart-ish and my green casual jacket for all other times. |
|
Short-sleeved tops in black, navy and teal - mostly work wear, but could be either. |
|
Cardigans. Or if I don't want to sound old, "relaxed jackets" or "cover-ups". In deep red (NOT burgundy. That's important), brown, black and beige/mink. For either work or otherwise (I have a smart-casual/casual workplace dress code) |
|
Tunic tops. I love these. I especially love that they're in fashion (and therefore, in the shops) so I own several. Two are brown - one is definitely casual and the other can be used for work - one brown/white and one red/white. The more astute may notice that the red and brown patterned tunics have the same pattern. I'm hoping I don't go off it. |
|
This is a black, short-sleeved tunic top that was in the maybe pile for a while, plus a cream scarf and two necklaces which I like a lot. |
|
These are my shoes. I could probably have done a bit more to make them look less scabby. I have one pair of black work shoes, one pair of brown work shoes, one pair of leather sandals, one pair of purple trainers and one pair of crocs. I'm not sure if I should count the crocs, but they're there for now and will come out once I find something I really want to include that I've forgotten about. |
It looks like a decent amount of clothes, laid out like this. I'm starting to wonder if I've been doing Project 333 without realising (the whole wearing 20% of clothes 80% of the time theory). Although I'm not sure I'll be saying this in a few weeks.
Good for you! I love following people doing this challenge. I, like you, have probably been doing it unconsciously for ages. But it may be time to do it officially! I'm currently living in Los Angeles where they have 1.5 seasons so it seems much more straightforward for me. Good luck!
