Project 333 for Summer
The Project 333 challenge started in 2010. I live my life like this. Some people I see regularly realize that I repeat many of my outfits, I’m sure. But no one ever says anything, and wearing only 33 items makes me a little more creative when I get dressed. All you have to do is to choose 33 items (clothing, jewelry, accessories, shoes) to wear for 3 months and hide everything else. It is much easier than thinking about doing it.
If the Project 333 challenge makes you think …
“I could never get down to 33.”
“My weather changes too much.”
“I have a job.”
“But I love shopping.”
“Seriously, I have to include shoes?!”
People from all over the world have joined to see what happens when you dress with less. Here’s what they’ve discovered.
