Continued adventures in minimalism or something close enough to it

So I'm doing Project 333, apparently.

It's about limiting your wardrobe to 33 items for 3 months, so here's me taking the plunge to see if I can pull of the shirt/tie/waistcoat combo as well as all the stylish girls on pinterest.

This because I finally caved and made a reddit account singlehandedly to moan about all the books I don't want to throw away but god there are so many of them.

How's that going?

I don't have a specific number, but I keep weeding my clothes till it hurts. A few years ago, I decided to check how many clothes I had. I discovered I owned three double closets' worth. That's the problem with living in a six-bedroom house for most of your life.

It says all about my devotion to fashion that I pretty much forgot about it after two days, and in practice has spent 70% of the last few months alternating between two turtlenecks. According to the rules, I should've changed my wardrobe two weeks ago, but of course never remembered that. The main takeaway is that I have a bigger need for variety in purses and bags than in clothing *g*

I did a Konmari a few years ago, and shyeah I had a lot more clothing than I needed, and certainly more than I used. Even if I never quite got over the fat teenage girl's changing room trauma, sales are irresistible to me

I'm that way about books. At one point, I had twenty-four floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and not enough bookshelf space for all my books. I had bookcases in my hallways. I had bookcases in my closets. I had a bookcase in my disused shower stall.
