Halfway Through My First Round of Project 333

I am just a few weeks away from the half way point of my 333 Project. If you remember I was feeling a little anxious about whether or not I could actually pull my clothes loving self out of the routine of having so many clothes and working with limited options.

I think the most surprising thing about this experiment is the fact that I have magically cleared about fifteen minutes in my morning schedule. No really. I didn't believe it myself but I realized that the minutes were ticking away as I stared into the depths of my closet trying to figure out what to wear. I love that my mornings are more relaxed and I realize that limiting my choices has helped my quality of life.

I am also slowly honing my personal style. I thought I'd share a few of my favorite wardrobe items to celebrate the halfway mark of the project.

Everlane:


I love Everlane's transparent pricing and high quality product. I own two of their V Cotton T (pictured above left) and their Cotton Lawn shirt (pictured above right) is one of the go to shirts in my closet.  I also loved their campaign over the last couple of years to encourage thoughtful consumerism. They shut down their website on Black Friday for the last two years. This year they left it open but dedicated all sales to the building of a rec center for their employees working at factories overseas. I am thrilled with the quality of the product, the effortlessness of the look, and the ideology behind the brand. It's a win, win, win! 


Portofino Shirt from Express



I have three versions of this shirt in my closet. I particularly like the long sleeve shirt because you can roll it to make it three quarter length. It is dressy enough for work but can easily be more casual when pared with jeans.

Well that's it for now! I can't wait to see what I think after I wrap my first three month session and do the planning for the next one. :)
