Anyone want to do minimal-ish winter wardrobe?

I'm trying to become a more conscious consumer - both for spending and environmental reasons.

So I've decided to do the 333 wardrobe challenge for Winter.

33 pieces
3 months (Dec, Jan, Feb)

Anyone fancy joining?

I've slightly adapted the rules of the original because I feel like the original version would be too hard for my first try.

Feel free to make your own adaptations or do the original if you're hard core!

Original version:

  • 33 pieces for 3 months
  • Shoes, coats, accessories, jewellery all count towards your 33
  • Only underwear and nightwear isn't counted

My changes:

  • Coats, shoes and 'lounge wear' (I'd wear it to do the chores in or walk the dog but not otherwise) don't count towards the 33 pieces
  • I've counted jewellery and accessories (belts/scarves/bags) as two items in total, not each individual piece as a seperate item. I don't tend to have lots anyway
  • I've counted camisoles/vest tops as one item for four of them as I am large of boob and often have to wear them under a dress when others wouldn't need to (or be indecent!)

Me! I had a big wardrobe purge returning to work from mat leave, cleared out everything that no longer fit well or didn't suit me. I'm doing hybrid working and needed outfits that were simple to pull together for either office or home days, looked smart but were comfortable and unfussy.

I've got pretty much everything from M&S, which surprised me a bit. They're much better for basics than they used to be:

I'm not counting lounge/sportswear in my total, but adding in t-shirts I already had and a couple of past season basic navy/black Boden workwear dresses, I'm up to 31 items. I'd like to find a simple gold necklace, and this is basically the vibe I'm looking for. Nothing trendy as I don't have the time to keep it up, I just want to look pulled together for the office.
