This will be the perfect opportunity to put a Tiny Wardrobe into practice.

On October 4th, I’ll be traveling to Japan for 10 days to visit my son who is studying there for the semester. It is now late September, and the next phase of Project 333 begins on October 1st. When my friend asked if I’d be interested in helping bring Courtney and the tour to DC on October 18th, I jumped on the opportunity. I was therefore thrilled to find out that Courtney was taking Project 333 on the road via her Tiny Wardrobe Tour. There are gifts from family members or friends that never quite fit or looked right on me but kept out of guilt, shoes that I thought looked amazing in the store and then never wore again since they gave me blisters, and way more scarves than I really need, because who can resist a cute scarf on sale at TJMaxx for $9.99? But those things all sit in my closet, taking up unneeded space, and I still can’t figure out what to wear when I get up in the morning! I realized that even I, with my fairly minimal shopping habits, had more than I needed or wore. “This 33 items thing should be a cinch!” I thought to myself.īut after reading Courtney’s blog posts, I was inspired to really re-examine my closet and my way of dressing. Not being one to indulge in “retail therapy” and never much of a fashionista, I have always worn comfortable flats instead of heels, only own 3 handbags and wear the same pair of earrings and necklace for weeks on end.

As a professional organizer and minimalist wanna-be, I was intrigued by the idea of only wearing 33 things for 3 months – the idea behind Project 333. I recently learned about Courtney Carver and her Be More with Less blog, as well as her Project 333 and Tiny Wardrobe Tour through a good friend and client.
