Project 333: to carry 33 things 3 months – it is real or not?

Good morning) I Want to share with you article from my blog optimiziruem.com today. Here I write about the organization of life, economy, time-management, and sometimes - about clothes and any wardrobe experiments. I share with you)

Did you hear something about Project 333? Now it is quite popular in the West and gradually comes to us. The idea is in that for each 3 months (i.e. for every season) to make to itself the capsular clothes consisting of 33 things including clothes, headdresses, footwear and accessories. Less – it is possible, but it is no more.

When I only learned about Project 333, the first that came to mind – "Horror! 33 things – it is impossible, same so it is not enough!" Then I porazdumat, counted, and the idea seemed not such improbable any more. Even shared with the husband; he, however, laughed and told that 33 things will be enough for it not only for a season, but also for all year).

How to organize Project 333 for itself?

The creator of the idea – the American Cortney Kaver – at first advises thoroughly to raskhlamitsya, and then to reveal seasonal things and transit, i.e. those which pass from a season into a season – them can be carried both in the summer, and in the spring, or even all the year round (as jeans).

What is not included into the list of 33 things?

Sportswear and footwear and clothes for rest (bathing suits and pareo, for example)
House clothes
Clothes for a dream
Underwear
Objects which you never or almost never leave (wedding ring, cross)

Derogations from rules

The author of Project 333 without fanaticism suggests to act:

1) I.e. if some thing during a season becomes useless, it can be replaced another – but only one, move away two — it is possible and to add two.

2) If suddenly among summer your area was overtaken by cold weather, then, of course, it is possible to replace one thing from the list from 33 things with one warm cloth, for example, a jacket.

3) Project 333 is not the project for sufferings — Cortney writes. If within 3 months you understood that to you it is bad in something, replace this thing.


I admit: I am not ready to such marathon yet, but it is interesting to me! So far I decided to deal with what things I carry more often than others what are more rare what I do not carry at all. It works so: coming home, I hang up those clothes in which was today, in other end of a case. With bags, scarves and jewelry – the fact that carried for the last month I put the same separately. Already very soon, in few weeks, I will understand as as)

By the way, to define that you carry from clothes and that is not present, it is possible to store things on hangers hooks from itself, and having put on something, to hang up then a hook to itself. At the end of the month it will be easy to count.
What gives Project 333?

- Helps to understand that in clothes for you the most important, and in passing to find the style

- Good practice of minimalism if you aspire to it

- Simplification of life: creating capsular clothes for 3 months ahead, it is not necessary then
to deliberate convulsively what to put on – will put on more simply and quicker

- Helps to get rid of attachment to things

- Smaller costs of clothes

What in my case?

I very long and methodically minimized the clothes. Having learned about project 333 to me there was a wish to count quantity of my things – all combined. Perhaps, this quantity will seem to someone too big, and to someone – very small. I will be glad to read your responses in comments.

So, after the last cleaning of clothes at me the list from 102 things turned out, among them there are 32 articles of clothing, 7 pairs of shoes and 63 accessories. It for all year.

However, I did not consider underwear, pajamas, house and sportswear (as well as assumes Project 333), but I assure that all this good finds room at me in one (at most 2 – if to display very freely) a dresser box) And here the list is more detailed for the interested.

Top – 17:

T-shirts, undershirts, blouses with short sleeves – 6
Sweaters, jumpers, long sleeved t-shirts (with long sleeves) – 6
Shirts, blouses – 2
Vests – 2
Cardigan – 1

Bottom – 7:

Jeans – 4
Skirts – 3
Dresses – 5

Outerwear – 3:

Winter coat – 1
Spring and autumn jackets – 2

Footwear – 7 couples:

winter-autumn boots – 1,
shoe boots – 1,
shoes – 2,
moccasins – 1,
flats – 1,
sandals – 1.

Bags — 6:

5 pieces + 1 backpack

Scarfs, caps, gloves – 18:

Winter scarfs – 2
Light scarves – 13
Caps, berets – 2

Jewelry and other accessories – 39:

Earrings – 7
Rings – 8

By the way, I made such list for the first time. And even made some observations: deficiency of winter-autumn footwear and large number of my jewelry and scarves though, it is clear that they take places less, than other parts of clothes. Here such affairs)
