I didn’t have a hard time picking out clothes because I don’t have that many clothes in the first place. I’m a minimalist for 3 years now and have 56 personal possessions before trying this out.

The cabinet on the right is my daughter's. She likes to put stickers of Dora on it. :)

Just a brief recap of the guidelines for this project:

            Included

• All clothing and outerwear
• Jewelry and accessories
• Shoes 

            Not Included

• Wedding ring and/or other sentimental jewelry you never take off
• Workout clothes
• Sleep wear
• Underwear 

Other Reminders

• This is not a project of suffering. Clothing that no longer fit or are in poor condition may be replaced any time during the 3 months.
• You don’t have to get rid of your remaining clothes entirely. Just put all away, except for 33 items, for 3 months. 

That’s it! I’ll be wearing only these 31 articles of clothing from January 21 to April 21. I will list down what I'll wear from day to day and will give weekly updates.

Just a thought: if not for my day job, I can get this further down to 25 things.

How about you? Can you live with just 33 items of clothing?
