I have thought about this a lot, and for me, it looks like this: I need a dry and warm place to live, I need privacy – a place where I can close the door. Learn the difference between Needs and Wants The challenge is: Not to focus on the size of space you live in, but to think about what you really need. It’s true, I don’t have children, but I don’t really see kids or not as the real challenge. Often when I mention living in a small space, people who have kids respond: “but you don’t have children, when you have children it’s not possible to live in a small space”. Right now I live in about 600 sqft (55 sqm), I would love to live in a 300 ft home or an RV. I did not store any of my other clothes, I gave it to a thrift store, so it will not be coming back. Here is what I have now: 2 pairs of pants, 1 pair of tights for dresses, 9 jersey shirts (long/short/sleeveless), 3 party dresses, 4 skirts, 2 everyday dresses, 7 blouses (short/long), 6 warmer shirts/jackets. I still have too many dresses for parties and skirts.Īt the same time, I need more everyday dresses with long sleeves, so I can get rid of some sweaters. I kept some things that I just could not get rid of yet. My goal is still to get down to 33 and to include more stuff. I got it down to 34 items, and it is a working progress. I decided to only count my clothes: I live in Denmark, it is cold a big part of the year, so I need shoes and clothes for every situation all year round. My Closet My Closet Getting on with the Project 333 Challenge You need to make sure you have enough for work, long/short sleeves, dresses, not t0o many skirts etc. Getting all the way down was difficult a lot of sentimental, and the very practical aspect. The next 10-15 was a lot harder a lot of good clothes that I always planned on using, but never did, and some sentimental pieces. Getting down to about 55 pieces was easy enough, mostly stuff I never use either not my style or just old, but still hanging there for some reason. Get rid of clothes that you are just not comfortable wearing, does not fit, is out of style etc. The main point is to make a conscious decision of what gets in your closet. The 333 challenge is not set up strict, so you can decide for yourself what you include. Things did not include: underwear, socks, workout clothes, if you have a specific uniform you have to wear to work, wedding band, and pajama. The 333 challenge includes all normal clothes, jackets, shoes, scarfs, belts, jewelry. What you don’t use, or isn’t in season, you get out of the closet.Ī lot you might decide to get rid of entirely, and some you might want to put in storage. I loved the video, and it gave me the positive boost, that I needed, to tackle my closet. You keep 33 items in your closet, you commit to wearing only these items for 3 months. They started this project called “Project 333”: A way of downsizing your wardrobe and get rid of clothes you don’t use anymore.Ībout a month ago Kirsten Dirksen posted a video (watch it in the bottom of the post), about this girl and her friend’s wardrobes. What is Project 333? Project 333 is a challenge to commit to only 33 items of clothes for 3 months. I felt all depressed by the thought of it, so I put it off for a while. Morten, who has a lot of clothes, has been going through his closet a few times. Okay, so we have been cleaning out our stuff for a while now.
