Last night I read about Project 333. Project 333′s basic premise is that you live with just 33 items including clothing, accessories, outerwear and shoes for 3 months. It initially sounded extremely minimal to me but after looking through my clothes last night, I’ve realised it really isn’t that extreme!
I read through a lot of other posts about the Project and came across this guide for sorting through your closet:
Start making piles of clothes and be ruthless.
- Pile One: I love these items. They fit me well and I wear them frequently: Keep
- Pile Two: I want to keep this but I don’t know why
- Pile Three: These items don’t fit me or my style: donate.
- Pile Four: These items aren’t in good condition: trash.

I was spurred in to action and ruthlessly attacked my closet. I didn’t exactly take a before picture, but take a look at this:
All that was left in the closet were roughly 25 things, half more formal or work wear and half casual wear.
I took out all of the don’t-quite-fit items, the sentimental stuff that I don’t wear any more, the worn out clothes, pieces I’m sick of, etc, etc, etc, and just take a look at this!
Over at bemorewithless.com there is a suggestion to box up all the sorted stuff, put it in the back of your closet and then if you haven’t worn anything from the box in 30 days, donate it.
I think I would have a hard time parting with most of my clothes, but we shall see. I’m definitely pleased with the immediate results of easily being able to see my clothes selection and not having to go through it all several times struggling to find what I’m looking for.
So yes, I’m still very much on the decluttering and simplifying path, I’m just having to modify how I go about it to suit my time limitations.
I am inspired! I am cleaning out my closet as I type. :) Thanks Amy!
My recent post 10 Things Beginning Sewers Should Know
Woohoo! Glad to inspire. J
Does this include underwear? If it doesn't I totally do not wear more than 33 items… heck, I'd say I wear maybe 12 different things in a week during the winter! but I do have a lot more…
My recent post Just Like Pottery Barn
It does not include underwear. So far I’ve only pulled one item out of the large amount I put aside. It’s kind of fun to see what will happen!
Love those piles ideas…I recently cleaned out my closets realistically and got rid of half of my stuff. I was surprised how much I didn't want to keep once I looked at it with the "really, will you EVER wear that again?" attitude.
Hope you had a nice Christmas and New Year's! :)
