I can now check another 10x10 challenge off the list. Today marks the 10th day of the Summer 10X10 Challenge in which I selected 10 pieces of clothing to wear in 10 different outfits over 10 days. I talked more in depth about the premise behind the challenge in this post, where I also outlined my plans for the challenge. The challenge was (mostly) successful, but it wasn't without it's challenges (to be expected,…
One of the ways that I like to shop "slowly" is by acquiring the pieces that I need through local secondhand retailers. If I had to guess, I would say that 25% of the clothing presently in my closet has been acquired this way. In my most recent clothing challenge, the Summer 10x10 Challenge, 2/10 items were secondhand, or 20%. The clothing challenge that I was participating in prior to that, the Project 333…
This is my second time doing a 10x10 challenge. I have chosen the 10 pieces that I will style into 10 outfits over the next 10 day. Read on to find out what I’ve chosen and why I’ve decided to do the challenge.
I used to be an infamous over-packer. When I was packing for a trip, I would always pack way more than I needed, usually double the amount that I needed. I remember packing for a 2 week trip back in 2005 and I had an extra large red suitcase, the biggest one that you could buy, that I stuffed! The weight scale used to be my best friend when I was packing to go…
I was motivated to start the Project 333 challenge because of my recent over spending on clothing. It was making me feel like I was slipping back into my old ways. The ways where I spent far too much money on clothing and stuff. And because I had recently completed a 10 day clothing challenge, I was interested in doing a longer challenge. Both of these things led me to Project 333. I'm currently…
I am about to embark on my first Project 333 Capsule wardrobe. Read on to how I came to this decision.
I've never done a wardrobe challenge before. Although I have gotten rid of a lot of clothing over the past few years, I am intrigued by the idea of a capsule wardrobe, with a few pieces that I absolutely love, instead of a bunch of clothing that I feel ambivalent towards. It seems like a natural progression on my journey to live a more intentional life with less stuff. The 10x10 Capsule Wardrobe Challenge…
I have spent the last few years reducing my clothing collection by approximately 60%. Yup, I used to have a lot of clothes. A lot of it was clothing that was trendy or items that I thought I would use. I guess you could say that I had clothing for a life that I did not live. Most of the clothing I had just did not align with my priorities. Once I realized this,…
