My capsule wardrobe - Project 333



I'm finally taking the plunge. What you see above ( plus a black and a white tank top) is what I will be wearing for the next 3 months. 

Much more than many people around the world have and much less than I used to have.


You might be wondering why I do this. It's easy for me to answer. 
It's because I want to simplify my life.
 I still want to be well dressed and stylish but I want fewer  and better coordinated options.
 Plus I want less and better organised stuff in my closet.


What do I hope to achieve? The time I would normally spend around considering what to wear/shop I plan to invest in.....what? 
That's my goal. 
To be able to have a better idea of how I want to invest my free time by limiting the distruction from my clothes and the craving.

Let's take a look at my pieces

Black long sleevless dress Pink Woman    Stripped long sleevless dress Stradivarius 
Black A line dress Ioanna Kourbela

Upon looking, I should  have skipped buying the long black one!

Black lace waistcoat thrifted    Black loose cardigan/white strip    Short lace dress   both Pink Woman 

 My long dresses are very body conscious and I need sometimes a cover. Some other times I need to add an interesting layer.

I also have a black tank top which is not listed here and that's all. It can get so warm in Crete during summer so sleeveless tops are a must.
 All basic colors to act as a canvas for my accessories ( I will dedicate my next post to those).

I chose carefully my two bottom pieces. 
The black culotte is one of those pieces that I don't mind wearing everyday. 
It moves with me and makes me feel special. You will have the chance to see it when I will take outfit photos.
The long skirt is a vintage piece sewn from my godmother back in the 70s.
 
I'm getting pretty organised here and believe me I scare myself. Wishes for a great weekend!

My capsule wardrobe and my new project. A preview

I streamlined my wardrobe, I've kept only what I love and I made a capsule wardrobe to dress myself for the next 3 months. I will use 36 items accessories and shoes are included. And for those of you who immediately thought about Project 333 you were absolutely right.

I'm taking the Project 333 for the next 3 months. I officially start 1st of July but what you get here is a preview.






I've worked hard to photograph all items included in my capsule wardrobe. I then used Picmonkey to edit and I made an original collage including only my stuff. I'm very proud  and I hope you will enjoy.


My plan is to be able to document my outfits with real life photos and original content collage.
