If you remember my first experiment with Project 333, I have been living with that wardrobe for over 3 months. and to be honest it gradually grew by a few items over the summer. However, it also gave me the willpower to resist buying more than a few sundresses because I was so aware of the pretty dresses I already owned and didn’t wear very often. This project was also a lifesaver back in June when I travelled to the West coast for a month – packing and unpacking was so much easier than it would have been with more choices. I learned that I have all the clothes I need, and I got a better sense of what clothes I actually like to wear, versus the clothes I like the idea of but never take out of the closet. 
With that said, many of the tank tops I wear the most are very worn and will need to be replaced for next Summer. Some of them have been around for 8 or 9 years and are faded, stretched, and some even have holes. They have served their time, and I am at peace with throwing them out. I’m excited to pick through Summer clearance racks with the purpose of replacing them (and not getting sucked into buying 10 because they’re cheap!). I think doing this project helps me be a better shopper because it gives me a better sense of what I want and need, so I’m not as overwhelmed by tables and racks of clothes in stores. We’ll see how it goes once I actually shop!
