Project333 and Me!

I briefly considered starting a new blog entirely to document my progress with Project333 which you can learn more about HERE  .  But that would require too much effort, and if nothing else I am a master at taking the easy way out.  So instead of wasting time thinking up a great name and catchy hook for a new blog, I'll just repurpose this one.  Jus'sayin, will for the next three months, be devoted to my progress, feelings, and struggles, with Project333.  

Today is my first official day and thus far I have made my list, and documented my outfit du jour with a photo. I am also tracking all of this in a delightful little black book I purchased specifically for daily outfit descriptions.  This way, if I am away from the computer (oh no!) I can still update you. You're welcome.

I am also bending/customizing the rules a bit to accommodate my lifestyle.  In the basic rules, sleep wear, at-home lounge wear, and workout wear are excluded from the 33 items.  Well, sorry, but I don't do sleep wear, or at home lounge wear.  So, I am combining those two categories and renaming them "Scarves, hats, gloves, purses, shoes, coats" and including in the workout wear my sport/fitness/outdoor items...ie my ski gloves/boots/jacket, my motorcycling clothes/helmet, and hiking boots.  The originator of this program stresses that it has to work for  the person doing it.  So that's what I'm doing.   But before you cry foul, know that I am limiting my purses to: Teal day bag, Brown day bag, Red day bag, recycled sari evening bag.  My shoes will be: Black high heel boots, Black low heel boots, Brown high heels, Black mary-janes, Black Satin evening shoes, Metallic evening sandals.  Coats will be limited to: Tan Trench, Brown vest, Black leather jacket.  I actually don't have a decent pair of gloves at the moment, and I received two ADORABLE hats at Christmas that I just can't stop wearing.

So here is my list of 33:

This outfit is: Purple Drape Neck Top

Flare Jeans

Grey Ruffled Cardi

Black HH Boots

Rust 30's crochet hat w/flower

Hmm. maybe I should consider just putting the numbers for the items, who knows maybe they'll hit in the lottery and we'll all get rich!


****edited already!****  I made the decision to swap out the Black V Neck top for a Black Lace top, and to swap the Brown V Neck Cashmere sweater for a Grey Scoop Neck Silk/Wool sweater.  I reserve the right to continue to make adjustments if needed.
