I propose an experiment minimalist using only 33 items for 3 months . Known as Project 333 and Courtney first proposed in his blog Carver Be More With Less . Recently, Valentina posted an entry on the Project 333 in his blog Sustainability and Minimalism. Since many people attached to his side project on Anglo-Saxon and January 9, 2011 will start the English version.
Why join the experiment? Establish a clear limitation on the number Apparel and use only those 33 selected can help us be aware of what we are actually using and how we can simplify our wardrobe. Surely you're hanging around these 33 pieces or perhaps even less, but this experiment will end in an eye-opener.
The rules are:
- English version (I hope many fans will point we have across the pond) runs from January 9 to April 9.
- has any item of clothing or shoes and any accessories (except the alliance) as jewelry, watches, etc. They also have scarves, hats, gloves or other warm clothes.
- have not underwear or pajamas, or homespun clothing, or clothing that we use for sports, as long as all the clothes not used to going out or going to work. This means that if we use a t-shirt to the gym but also use it to go shopping, should be included in the list.
- You can have 3 spare clothes or accessories (no. 34 to 36). These elements may be substituted for someone else, in case you decide to throw away or donate (not left in the closet again) some of the items that was in the original list.
possible trips places with different climates, or situations like weddings where you have to go fixed.
Here's my tentative list for the moment with 27 elements. Publish the final list the day before the experiment (Saturday, January 8).
- sneakers (I use to run but also to go out so include them in the list)
- winter shoes dress shoes
- white shirt white shirt with black shirt twins
- blue shirt blue striped shirt
- brown striped shirt purple shirt
- dark gray suit (2 pieces)
- blue pinstripe suit (2 pieces)
- jeans trousers in navy blue black coat
- two layers (fleece + impermeable layer)
- classic coat in navy blue jersey
- ocean black sweatshirt blue shirt
- orange shirt black shirt
- wide belt for jeans wear thin belt
- classic watch maroon tie
