I posted my Project 333 Summer Wrap Up yesterday, and now I can move on to fall! Swapping out my clothing for this next 3 months was actually really easy. I've been keeping a little notebook for the project, and have a list for each 3 month time period, so all I had to do was pull everything out that was on the list and put everything else away. I did try to put things away in a logical order--I tried to put garments that will be in the spring and summer pile in with the spring clothing, where I would logically look for them in April.
I also decided to put some of my belts and other accessories away--I have a subset of earrings and necklaces that really only go with my summer dresses, and some belts that really only go with one or two things from the spring or summer. It helps to have the accessories pared down for the next two seasons as well.
I think I have a wide enough range of clothing to accommodate the current temps, as well as the colder temps that will come in a month or two. These clothes will last me until the end of December.
I also have a couple of projects planned for the fall, and will blog about those later, but for now, my pics include stuff that is actually finished or nearly there (such as the green knitted cardigan).
Without further ado, here's the fall lineup:

Taupe wool skirt, Black skirt, Shetland flannel pencil skirt, Rust corduroy skirt
Top left:
Navy Breton shirt, Green knitted cardigan (nearly finished), Cream lightweight cotton cardigan
Bottom right:
Eshakti knit red dress, Ruby Mae dress, Eshakti knit navy dress, Union Station dress
Bottom middle:
Fat Face blue cardigan, purple Ann Taylor elbow sleeve tshirt, green layering shirt, blue layering shirt
Left middle:
Navy cashmere/cotton cardigan, rust cotton cardigan, black cotton cardigan, brown wool/cotton cardigan
Left bottom:

(not pictured: Amanda jeans--see the summer photo collage)
There are 27 items on my list here, but I have two blouses and a skirt (and possibly another dress) to add as the fall progresses, plus I have another navy knit dress on order from eshakti, so I think this will be fine.
As for footwear, it tends to rain a lot here in the fall, so my primary footwear are my green wellies, but I also wear my brown lace up boots a lot, and have bought a pair of shorter boots to try out this season. I'll probably wear my summer pairs for a few weeks yet, as it is still in the 90s, but as soon as the weather changes, I'm bringing on the boots!
nice!!! I am excited to get out my autumn and winter clothes soon too!
ReplyDeleteI am familiar with project 333.You can check it on my other blog by the name of fashionmeblog. blogspot. gr. It was a funique experience and helpful to downside my wardrobe. I have a good minimal wardrobe these days and I am not going to buy anything new for the coming months. Fashion has been my passion and it kept my mind busy and it was fun. But I want to keep my mind busy with more spiritual things nowadays so fashion blogging is put to rest. However ,crochet and cross stitch have taken the place of fashion. I try to keep my new passions in check so they don't interfere with my family and spiritual life. I don't always succeed so I pray for help to find the right balance. Do you face similar challenges?
ReplyDeleteI will! I've been doing Project 333 for more than two years now, and my approach has definitely evolved over time. Because I sew for myself, and my style has changed a bit as my kids get older and I've lost weight, I've continued to make for each rotation, but I try to make less. This fall (2017) is probably the most lean rotation I've had to date, and I'm actually pretty happy with it. It helps that I have other things to give me a creative outlet (like my book) so that I don't have to focus on making "things" so much. It's always a challenge though. I also sew for my girls, so there is also the balance of making them enough things for each season, but not too much. This summer I think I succeeded in that, and I'm thinking about next year already, since I was recently given some summer-weight fabric remnants that will do nicely for them. I'm finding that less is more, in many respects.
