I've done 33/3,and found it both liberating and annoying - so much faster getting dressed, but gas! I miss my "friends"!

I love a good small wardrobe experiment. Now you have me thinking about the idea of statement pants; I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww--small-wardrobe-experiment#post-1019292 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 22:43:11 +0000 shedev 1019292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, in my defense a lot of really great pants didn't make the cut. It was still 16 pair. I have 6 toppers so I guess we'll see how it works out. I only have 18 tops. It still only puts tops in a 2 week rotation. I also have a work uniform so these are only for days off. I only have 2 days this week where I get to dress. My biggest problem is that I only have 3 hot weather tops. I should get cooler weather by the second half of sept. I also end up covered in dog fur by the end of the day so it is one wear per wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww--small-wardrobe-experiment#post-1019285 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 22:30:54 +0000 donnat 1019285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You sure have lots of fabulous pants. I like your take on this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww--small-wardrobe-experiment#post-1019247 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 21:38:17 +0000 Suz 1019247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exciting! I will be following with interest.&nbsp;</p> <p>At first, I was amazed by the number of pants. I thought, how the heck is she going to get 40 items when 20 of them are pants? But hearing that you really love statement pants, it makes sense. Plus, those are cool pants you've got there. :-)</p> <p>I'll bet most people would be the opposite; they would be okay repeating pants but not tops. But I think you're right -- statement bottoms can make an outfit a lot more than we recognize.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am doing a 4 week capsule with Angie's 11 items (plus footwear and belts and scarf and such). Eeek! 40 items is more like what i usually have. This will be tighter -- but it is only my work at home casual&nbsp;capsule and won't cover my "events" for the month of September. I get to wear different stuff then.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww--small-wardrobe-experiment#post-1019231 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 20:37:51 +0000 Annie 1019231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with cobaltblue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww--small-wardrobe-experiment#post-1019224 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 20:26:25 +0000 cobaltblue 1019224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I love your collection of statement pants. I need to count and catalogue what's in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww--small-wardrobe-experiment#post-1019200 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:46:56 +0000 shedev 1019200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the recent talk about the capsules and the 33 piece wardrobe has me wondering if I really could function in this manner and not hate every minute of it. I decided to see how the other half lives and try the small wardrobe. I'll be using Suz's 6 season and calling sept- oct a season. I'm using 40 as my wardrobe size and not counting outerwear or shoes in the total. I'm also not counting things that are part of my work uniform or undershirts.<br />1.

Self Esteem military jacet for juicy vest<br />From here on, I'm gonna try to stick with this with the exception of the military jacket. If I find an upgrade I'll swap out.</p> <p>My thoughts going in, this is not a lot of clothes. All the tops fit in one drawer and didn't fill it. and the pants and toppers only took 30 inches of closet space. I have a lot of pants in relation to tops but my tops are more basic and I'll mind repeating them less. I have an unnatural love of statement pants.<br />If you've read this far, bless you.<br />&nbsp;</p>
