I came up with over 14 different outfits some of which were worn previously, some new and some I would not put in rotation. It did push me to get out of jeans occasionally and try different combos. I also used 3 pairs of shoes, 2 tanks as under layers, 2 coats, 2 hats, 2 pairs of gloves, 3 scarves, and 8 pieces of jewelry for a total of 32 items. There were a few yard work, house cleaning days where I wore those kind of clothes but other than that I was comfortable being at home, running errands, going to a party and going out to dinner and coffee. This gives me one nice vacation wardrobe guide for certain weather conditions.
Could you live comfortably with this few clothing items for a season? I liked finding new outfits and am going to start working on 10 Item Wardrobe #2.
Great idea and would work to practice for a trip with carry-on only!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Juhli! Don't know if I could...
ReplyDeleteI can't either but it is helping to decide what works and how to pack for an upcoming 3 week trip!
DeleteI love this, Juhli! Interesting that when you added in all of the other pieces outside of the core 10, you basically ended up with a Project 333 capsule! I like the outfits your posted and it seems you have a lot of wonderful versatility with the pieces you selected. Good for you! I have always learned a lot from my wardrobe challenges. Even if I don't want to dress with just 33 items a season or whatever, I have found that challenging myself to do for a time has helped me to see that I don't need as much to get by. Good luck with your upcoming trip and your next experimental capsule!
