HOW TO REINVENT YOUR HOLIDAY WARDROBE

The beach is waiting and you have nothing to wear? We don’t believe a word of it. Here’s how to revamp last year’s summer clothes and look absolutely fab darling.  What about that overstuffed wardrobe and those boxes of unwanted clothes in the spare room? You probably have the makings of a great new summer wardrobe without even leaving your home.

1) SORT OUT YOUR WARDROBE

Most of us have wardrobes that are overflowing with long forgotten items of clothing that should be either worn or passed on to a new home. Firstly, put aside the ‘no brainers'; the clothes that you truly love and make you feel great and you know you will wear again. Next go through what is left with a really discerning eye. Ask yourself a few simple questions.

• Does it fit?
• Do you truly like it?
• Does the colour flatter you?
• Does it make you feel really good?

Anything that doesn’t tick any of the boxes should be put aside into a separate pile that you can then go through and decide if items can be altered to fit or give anew lease of life, or whether it is past redemption and should go to the charity shop.

2) REFRESH YOUR WHITES

Nothing looks worse than tired and grey summer whites, but don’t worry you don’t have to throw them away, there are plenty of things you can do to refresh them without spending the earth. You could try soaking them in a mixture of hot water and lots of lemon slices for a couple of hours. Alternatively you could try soaking your clothes in white vinegar or dishwasher detergent. All of which are natural bleaches. After washing in the normal way hang your clothes outside on the line. Sunlight is nature’s greatest bleach.

A New Challenge for Your Capsule Wardrobe: #33in33

A New Challenge for Your Capsule Wardrobe: #33in33

Dressing with 33 items or less for 3 months might sound …

• crazy
• scary
• impossible
• boring

but in my experience, and from what I hear from people who’ve tried minimalist fashion challenge Project 333, it’s none of those things.
The only way to know for sure is to try it and I think this new challenge will help you realize the benefits even faster. There is so much to learn about yourself and your relationship with stuff over the 3 month challenge, but those lessons reveal themselves everyday especially if you are paying attention.
Sharing your capsule wardrobe looks publicly might sound a little crazy and scary too, but it really helps you to see your progress and demonstrates the benefits. If nothing else, it’s fun to connect with other people who are taking the challenge.
The new season of Project 333 starts on October 1st and that will be day one of the new challenge in the challenge.

The Rules

• Create your capsule wardrobe of 33 items for 3 months.
• Share 33 different looks in the first 33 days.

Do it on your own, or for more connection and accountability:

• Blog about your experience.
• Share on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, or Twitter with hashtags #project333 & #33in33.

Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will.

- James Stephens

I’ve never shared 33 different looks or even 33 consecutive daily looks, and haven’t even completed my capsule wardrobe list for the next 3 months, so I’m starting at the beginning. I’m a little nervous, but more curious and excited to give it a try. I’ll be sharing my #33in33 on Instagram and will be looking for your #33in33.
This may be a minimalist fashion challenge, but Project 333 is about so much more than clothes. Once you begin to experience the benefits of taking on a challenge that scares you and making something work that sounded impossible, you can apply that to other areas of your life.
In 33 days, crazy, scary, impossible, boring will feel confident, connected, better dressed with less, and oh so possible.
If you need extra motivation to jump in:

• Dare your friends or co-workers to jump with you
• Take the course

I hope you will join me and let #33in33 make #Project333 more playful, approachable and possible for you.
