A few years ago, after a\u00a026 day trip traveling with less<\/a>, I didn’t\u00a0have a chance\u00a0to create my capsule wardrobe for spring.<\/p>\n

I could have beat myself up for falling behind, but instead,\u00a0I smiled\u00a0and remembered that even though I didn’t have it done,\u00a0creating a capsule wardrobe is something I enjoy and look forward to. Instead of rushing\u00a0it, I gave it the time and\u00a0attention it deserved.<\/p>\n

I included a pair of jeans, a black tank top, a scarf and a sweater, but I didn’t include\u00a0the following 5 items, and I hope you won’t either.<\/p>\n

1. Perfectionism<\/strong>
\nYou might not get this right the first time around and chances are, at the end of 3 months, you’ll see everything differently. Don’t worry about doing it right. This is a challenge, an experiment. And in 3 months, you can do it all over again.<\/p>\n

2. Comparison<\/strong>
\nMy wardrobe won’t look like your wardrobe. You don’t have to wear all black, or a dress that you can use 5 different ways. You live in different seasons, different lifestyles and have different tastes in clothes. Make this project your own. If you watch the #project333 hashtag on Instagram<\/a>, you’ll see that this is not a one size fits all challenge.<\/p>\n

3. Inflexibility<\/strong>
\nIf you get started and the shoes you included aren’t working, swap them out. Just because you wrote your list on paper, doesn’t mean it’s set in stone. Be fierce, but flexible.<\/p>\n

4. Guilt<\/strong>
\nWhen you are boxing up your clothes, you might feel guilty for spending so much on things you don’t wear. What you should be feeling is proud that you are open to change. You should be feeling excited about a new challenge. Feel happy that your clothes may be going to someone who really needs them.<\/p>\n

5. Suffering<\/strong>
\nIf you wear out your favorite pair of jeans, or a coat that you included becomes a little too snug, replace it. If you are unhappy with your selection, re-select. Use Project 333 as a way to learn about what you really need and want in your closet instead of a punishment. This should be fun and make your life easier. If you are suffering or struggling, change something or ask for help.<\/p>\n

Leave those things out and\u00a0make room for compassion, grace, laughter and lessons.<\/p>\n
