Project 333 - Winter wardrobe and experience

In looking back I realized I never posted my Winter wardrobe for Project 333. As usual, exercise/lounge wear, sleep wear and lingerie are excluded. So here is the list along with some learnings.

My colors for Winter were black, denim, gray, white, red & purple and that worked out well. We had a mild winter so I only wore my black wool coat once, never wore the hat & scarf, only wore the dressier black slacks a couple of times and lived in the jeans and a heavy black cardigan. I "cheated" by wearing a brown cardie, a couple of scarves and some jewelry not on the list a few times. I don't like the brown cardigan that much but got tired of black. I also don't like the gray t-neck but it was useful on a couple of really cold days. So I need to decide whether to keep those 2 items going forward. Maybe I'll replace the brown cardigan with a cardigan in a better color and get a warm top to replace the t-neck?

  1. I think those 2 replacements sound like a good idea. You've already established that they fit into your wardrobe and you would use them!

    1. I agree but struggle with the brown sweater because it was a special gift from my older son and his sweetie.

  2. Maybe you can make the brown cardie into a pillow for your sofa/bed? That way the specialness of it won't go away, you're using it and remembering your son and his sweetheart every time you're sitting on the couch.

    1. What a great idea! Actually I wore it yesterday with a different shirt and scarf than I had tried before and liked the look so it may stay for now.
