33 Piece Minimalist Wardrobe Challenge | Project 333 | by Erin Elizabeth

33 Piece Minimalist Wardrobe Challenge | Project 333
Today’s video I have been dying to try out actually. I heard about project 333 a year or two ago and I thought it was such a cool idea. For this video, I’m introducing you to what project 333 is (if you haven’t heard of it) and taking on the challenge myself within my own wardrobe. I think this is going to be a really great test at a truly minimalist wardrobe. When you have to narrow down to such a small number of items you really focus on what you love and what’s the most versatile. Let me know what you think and if you’ll take on the challenge as well!

[@meljstephan]

I've never done this challenge but I do have a rule for myself starting this year that I will not keep or buy a clothing piece unless it can be styled in at least three different outfits. I make a few exceptions, like my one fancier wedding guest dress and my workout clothes. But it helps me pick fewer but more practical pieces.

[@byerinelizabeth]

I love this! I do a similar thing when adding to my wardrobe! :)

[@disciplinado2190]

Save the Uygur people. Byctt China! Byctt France who banned religious freedom.

[@alishajennings2013]

I really like this. I'm going to start doing that too. Thanks for sharing

[@teodatalbott2323]

This is a great idea. I need to adapt this into my decision making

[@veronicasmemories]

this is so fun! I'm moving this fall and I'm only taking what my suitcase can hold hahaha

[@FashionbyBrittany]

I miss your capsule wardrobe videos. ❤ Simply the best!

[@pennynickels5216]

Interesting selection. Have fun. Some folks do this per season too. I have warm weather clothes but after clearing my closet/ dresser of items that didn't fit, were hated, stained, torn, unworn or worn out, I have 2 pair of black pants ( one needs to be replaced but kept because I can't just have one pair), 7 dress tops, and 5 t-shirts. I kept the two dresses that live in the coat closet that I love and only wear occasionally. I think I need clothes, lol! Looking forward to a capsule wardrobe.

[@MaximusG6]

I love how you added colour...and not just black, white and grey like in most 333-capsules 👍

[@sweetkristinaquino-gibela6548]

I didnt know its a minimalist thing I thought I was just being frugal and since Im living in a tropical countru you wont be needing layers of clothes. Ive been using less than 33 items 10 yrs ago because it makes life easier in the morning before going to work!

[@byerinelizabeth]

Totally! I kind of want to try again for winter and see how it goes with more layers!

[@TinaTravels33]

If I had my life together half as much as you do I’d be okay. Your style is so chic!

[@karolinarudnik5753]

When I heard about 33 challange first time, I decided to count how much things I wear normally during the month. It was 26. Next I realized that I need only 17. So now I have 22 pieces for all year, all ocasions*, including coats, bags and shoes. I can not imagine how to wear regulary more than 40 pieces. *I work in office, not from home. And don't have children. ;)

[@byerinelizabeth]

Oh wow! I could totally see this though - I was surprised just how many things I could fit in the 33 pieces!

[@pennynickels5216]

WOW!

[@pohoka_]

I couldn't make a 22 pieces/year wardrobe. I live in Canada. Sometimes I wear about 12 pieces of clothing at once (including accessories) when it's -20 Celsius outside and I walk somewhere. So it's not difficult to wear more than 40 pieces in winter. Of course summer is different.

[@rilleygriffin]

Tímea Nagy I live in Canada (Nova Scotia) and I have 24 including outerwear. And I feel like I don’t wear a third of it.

[@Cloudforest811]

Oh dude so true! I started writing down 33 clothing pieces I wanted to wear and I'm currently stuck on 22. :!!! YAY!! THIS MEANS the majority could probably be donated :))))

[@glimmeringshard]

I've always loved your channel, because you often combine the same pieces a lot in new ways. So I feel like you're already very conscious of your clothes and not to get new clothes too quickly. I don't see a lot of youtubers who are like this, and still so stylish!

[@byerinelizabeth]

Aw thank you! That's exactly what I aim to do, so I'm really glad you like it :)

[@rilleygriffin]

I have 24 items for all four Canadian seasons, my son has around 35 (he’s way more stylish than me) I’ve never counted before and now I realize we are natural minimalists lol we live by capsule wardrobes bc they allow us more time in bed and more room for books and experiments 🙌🏻

[@disciplinado2190]

[@denisearonow4921]

Where are you wearing all this stuff? I'm rocking the four item wardrobe in this pandemic.

[@mariam8464]

IKR. Rockin' seven. Um...33 minimal -👀

[@iamjane9628]

Tube and crop tops? I too am wondering where she wears these things.

[@byerinelizabeth]

hahah! love it! I thought it would be the perfect time to test it out since there's less pressure & the weather is also beautiful :)

[@AnaBanana126]

All I have is work clothes 😅

[@7kimmy22]

Me too

[@elizabethcowen8079]

I have been working towards my capsule wardrobe. After watching this video I am going to join the 333 challenge! So happy! :) Liz

[@miraclerna93]

Just now I realize in around 3months I use : 1arabic dress, 1hijab, 1mask, 2hoodie, 3pants, 3shirt, 2bra, 3underwear, 1sock, 3shoes, 1slipper, 1cardholder, 2phone, 2charger, 1bag, 1notebook, 1pen. And all is black color :D Total 29 :)

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I think I could try this with 33 garments, but not counting accessories or shoes. Thanks for showing us yours.🙂

[@TinaTravels33]

This is literally the only video for style I need

[@barbaralorenzana5666]

Cute idea I love this challenge it forces you to try and the items in your closet instead of buying new clothes.

[@byerinelizabeth]

Exactly! and you get a good sense for how you can still get along fine working with less!

[@ulloaleticia]

I’ve never heard of this challenge! Sounds like a good one, maybe I’ll try it too.

[@justinamoniz]

I'm so excited to follow along! I've considered doing a 333 or something similar for the summer, but it's so short that I'm reluctant to rule any item out.

[@byerinelizabeth]

I think summer is the best time to test it out because you don't need as many layers! Gives you a good feel for working with a smaller wardrobe and then maybe more confidence to try for cooler months too!

[@cathylamason2145]

This is nice, i haven't counted my clothes and accesorries but i dont think it would reach 20😅. I wouldn't buy clothes unless necessary, but i always keep basic and plain top for me cuz i can do and pair it whatever i want.

[@Christinamychas]

Yesss to that Harley teeeeee

[@byerinelizabeth]

Ohhh always!

[@sharonfarnsworth3325]

Thanks, Erin. Sounds interesting. I will have to find the follow up video.

[@veramichaella714]

I heard of the challenge but never tried it. While watching your video I thought to myself "I wonder how many pieces are there in my summer wardrobe that I wear". I counted 29 LOL Counting shoes and accessories I have 36 pieces. Not counting launge and workout clothes. Does this mean I succeeded in the challenge??? BTW love your videos! Your style is so fresh and elegant! I learn a lot from you :)

[@carolegagne3957]

Hi! I have been using this system since last summer; I have less clothing and more shoes and bags to switch up the mood of my basics. I have been changing it up every three months; however I prefer your method of updating it monthly better because I like to block colours by month i.e. June: navy, July: white, August: wheat, September: Cognac, October: Burgundy, November: Grey. I have four bins for each season and I enjoy shopping these bins ... and will be doing so more often now that I will be changing up my capsule monthly. Thank you for the inspiration. Have a great summer!

[@byerinelizabeth]

Oh i love the way you approach this! I think that's such a good idea. Since we have such cold winters here I was wondering how it would work with all the layers, but even doing it seasonally would be a good idea :)

[@talkswb]

I love blazers! I think I’d go for black ☺️ I actually love blazers in bright colours but if it’s a capsule wardrobe I think how finding a colour that might work with everything could be tricky..! 😂

[@jo-annel.wright2975]

Have you thought of having two or three capsules in different colours within the 33. Divide 30 by 2 or three and you can have 15 or 10 in your preferred colours. Search colourful capsule wardrobes...

[@acrobaticanna]

Originally I found this hard. Now I am down to the 10 Item Wardrobe.

[@murmurmary]

You inspired me to start this challenge! Feels very conscious and smart! I enjoyed my challenge but struggled with desire to buy more trendy pieces...

[@jeannesnodgrass8073]

Great choices! My favorite is the burgundy mock neck since that is my favorite color. Looking forward to seeing some outfits on Instagram. A look book video would be nice too.💕

[@byerinelizabeth]

Definitely! I'm going to do a full lookbook at the end of the month!

[@Vera_Glo_Music]

I love your lip color! What is it?

[@maureentakach3065]

Awesome. I wonder how I would do this as I'm a nurse (and I don't always wear scrubs but I don't wear "good" things when I'm working because I take children to school). Any insight is appreciated

[@jo-annel.wright2975]

Be a goddess and wear good all the time. Change your mind about about good. Do a pie chart of your day, week and year. Have your wardrobe reflect that. I saw an article a farmer wrote. All she wears is home-made patchwork full-circle skirts with t-shirts or shirts.

[@wendygue9555]

I love that middle handbag is so classy 😍 where did you get it from?

[@annatsinoudi]

That's a great challenge, i can't wait for the update video🙂 how about occasionwear, gymwear and beachwear? Should these be included in the 33 items or not?

[@eviozyra6300]

Just do what works for you, thats what counts right? me personally I wouldnt even include accessories.

[@byerinelizabeth]

Those type of things don't count! It's basically for your every day clothing :)

[@charlotteravlo9747]

I really wanna do this since my closet is waaaaaay to full! Wish me luck ;)

[@rosechoix]

How did it go?

[@charlotteravlo9747]

@@rosechoix I gave up after a day

[@rosechoix]

Aww! Better luck next time; you'll get this!

[@christine6396]

Im thinking of trying this. I have around 45 items of clothing in total for four seasons. I wonder how much is have to pack away to make this work for me. I think it would be interesting to try

[@eclispedessence]

I have 212. Idk how you guys live but props to you! I’m just a hedonist

[@angelwings1]

One handbag + one purse is enough for me 😁

[@annabelle4757]

After watching many videos of minimalist wardrobe and capsule wardrobe, now I won’t stress myself to no buy or donate donate donate. Instead, I think I need a basic capsule wardrobe for bad mood days. And I need to wear more and put together of what I have

[@angelicat9623]

I don’t know where do you live but for Europe it is questionable. 3 months is such a long time weather wise. I can’t imagine wearing sandals and crop tops in September. Then for September there is just one pair of shoes if we follow the same logic. So many summer tops and no sweaters for the cooler days. I think one month timeframe would be smarter. The basics 10-15 pieces can stay for whole 3 months but the rest needs to be adapted to the weather monthly.

[@byerinelizabeth]

Agree completely! I'm testing it out for one month so it's perfect for all summer pieces. But I agree with you, I'm in Canada so if I wanted to do a year round wardrobe with this challenge I'd have to be much more selective because I need a parka and winter boots and many more layers for winter!

[@moonchild6352]

Yeah September only began and the temperature already fell down hard :( I can't even wear the pants that I wore one week ago bc it's too chilly for that now

[@ayanaasuna]

in quarantine i can life easily with 5 things lol

[@annbeth6730]

Lovely post

[@bananabreadchoco]

How you do it if you live in a country with 4 seasons and 10 different fashion styles??

[@Ontherock402]

One summer wardrobe and one winter wardrobe, with transition pieces as a part of each, like a long sleeve in your summer wardrobe that can layer under dresses or shirts for fall, cardigans that can go on top, or loose pants for winter wardrobe once spring starts, cardigans that can be layered on tees as opposed to solely pullover sweaters. I think part of the idea is to get creative with outfit combos. But I live in a place with cold winters and hot summers so I would have to have two wardrobes like this, but with transition pieces you can easily cover fall and spring.

[@carolinalopezbaena2929]

I love your channel and watch this video! I love fashion but I also practice minimalism! Please when you record a video enable the subtitles in English, I am Colombian now I live in NY and with your videos in addition to having fun and learning fashion and style I also learn English! Thank you and congratulations on this challenge!

[@jocelyneprovost295]

33 pieces, does it include winter outfits? I mean spring/summer and fall/winter?

[@byerinelizabeth]

Technically it's suppose to be your whole wardrobe, but I'm just trying for a month during summer! I think it would be a harder selection for year-round!

[@havana2banana]

When I do this I have some clothes that stay from one season to the next but I also have another wardrobe to keep out of season clothes in. Late changing this year as weather has been awful. Interesting to see some different choices. I couldn't wear some of them but they look good on you.

[@meital4593]

Omg where are your earrings and sunglasses from?!?

[@byerinelizabeth]

Earrings are from Ken&Jame and Sunglasses are RW&co with the chain from CICCO chains

[@byerinelizabeth]

yay! Will do a full lookbook at the end of it!

[@hotchicsf]

It's been awhile since you've done this. Are you finding this 333 project to be workable? Do you find that your favorite clothing pieces wear out much faster if that's all you have to wear?

[@7kimmy22]

I own 2 pairs of shorts and four pairs of jeans and like ten shirts i dont wear jewelry and own like 2 pairs of shoes and house slippers and 2 back packs and one purse for all year and a wind breaker i never wear and a regular thin jacket cause i live in texas oh and one dress im just not a girly person

[@Courtneyburns90]

I'm sitting thinking I could never do this as I have so many clothes and we usually have 4 seasons in 1 day here but I'm realising I probably could because I tend to wear the one bag, 1 coat and switch between two pairs of shoes.
