Capsule Wardrobe (Project 333)

What is Capsule Wardrobe (Project 333)?
Dress with only 33 items (clothing, shoes, accessories) for 3 months. Everything else goes into a box out of sight. Reduces decision fatigue, saves money, simplifies mornings, and forces you to keep only pieces you truly love. At the end of 3 months, if you didn't miss something in the box, donate it.
