I'm so excited to jump into this new capsule season.
For one, because the weather will get nicer soon and I'm ready to shed my winter layers.
But also, because I really wasn't that happy with my winter capsule.
I threw my winter capsule together very casually from the items I had because I had decides months prior that I wanted to feature all my red clothes around Christmas.
Not my best idea.
I'm always drawn to the color red.
But I just don't like wearing red.
Basically, I wanted to give all the red things I've hoarded a chance.
Two weeks into my winter capsule, I realized the mistake I made.
You can read about it even in my winter capsule post.
I would say it was the most difficult capsule I had since my very first one. 🙈
Now, some of my red thing made it to the thrift store. I liked all the items, but I felt ugly wearing them.
Goodbye!
Getting rid of things is actually not that easy for me, but this red themed capsule experiment was a full on ripping off the bandaid experience. And now I think I've learned my lesson! ☹️

At first glance, a curated capsule wardrobe has little to do with sustainable living and zero waste.
I'm aware that some people regard a focus on what we wear as a frivolity for the vain, but I don't agree with this sentiment.
All of our belongings, including clothes impacts the way we live and the way we feel about ourselves. So, even with clothes there is a true opportunity to be intentional.
I'm capsule dressing because I'm interested in creating a beautiful and intentional life. This intentionality includes what I'm wearing. And my intentionality lead to much slower consumption habits, more comfort and feeling good about the things I owned and feeling good wearing my clothes.
But it was a process to get there.
I started with Project 333 in the fall of 2015 because I wanted to be intentional with my clothing choices, but at the same time I didn't know what I liked, what was important to me and so I welcomed a structure to follow.
And because this structure worked for me since the very beginning I have kept dressing according to the rules of Project 333 since then.
Every single season I've designed a new capsule.
And I've learned and discovered my values, likes and preferences throughout the process.
It's an evolving one.
