Final tweaks-update

I thought I wanted the denim jacket, but once I got there I realized it's not what I needed it. What I needed were a black tee shirt. I got both and black tee shirt and a 3/4 length sleeved shirt that will match more than one of the other shirts in my closet.

I think that this peasant tee (pictured above, not my picture btw) will serve me extremely well and be very flexible in my wardrobe.

I adore this tee shirt. It goes with everything and I think it will serve me better than the shirt I switched it with.

Tomorrow begins my first official day! No more changing things!

Tweaks and official start date.

Okay, I have made some tweaks and will finish my tweaking tomorrow. After tomorrow, I will be living with the same 33 pieces of clothing until September 1st.

What did I change from my post yesterday?

I got jeans. I don't know if I love them yet, but they fit. I don't wear jeans much during the summer, but they are there if I need them. Plus, they have cute embellished pockets!




I said I was going to get a maxi skirt, but I got a dress instead. It's all good though because I can throw a shirt over it if I want the effect of a skirt :)  (I am not modeling the dress in the pic below. I am a much larger, curvier woman. Also it didn't come with the belt)


 I did ditch one of the grayish colored shorts for a very soft, comfy pair of navy blue drawstring shorts, like the one pictured below. I am excited to wear them all the time!


I bought another shirt that I thought I liked, but decided to exchange it for a denim jacket. The last and final piece of my capsule wardrobe for Summer 2015

I took the project 333 challenge!

Sort of. The official rules are here. I did NOT include shoes, accessories, or bags in my 33. I also didn't include undergarments, undershirts, or pajamas.

Here is a break down of my 33. Keep in mind that it is not finished yet. There are still two pieces I want to add and some i might switch out if I find better pieces.

So here is what I have:

9 T-Shirts (it's a lot but I live in TN and i wear them a lot)
5 Shorts ( 1 black, 1 brown, 2 denim grayish ones, and 1 green turquoise color. Might ditch one of the gray ones)
2 crops (1 seersucker, 1 black  I wear these to work all the time!)
NEED 1 pair of jeans (working on that)


7 nice tops (for work and when I feel like looking nice)

3 cardigans (1 navy, 1 grey flyaway, 1 navy/grey print flyaway)
2 dresses (one navy top with colorful skirt, one black and white with mint shrug)
1 lightweight workout sort of jacket (might ditch this one, but You never know when you'll need a jacket)
NEED 1 maxi skirt ( I have one picked out and will probably buy it tomorrow)
Grand total? So far only 30 items! if you count the three pairs of shoes I wear most often that is 33!

I am looking forward to seeing how this challenge works out. Right before school starts back at the end of August I will switch it out again. :)

I will update this blog if anyone is interested with how this is working out for me soon. :)
