My first week of dressing in my pre-selected 33 items had both the highs and lows. Thankfully no rock bottoms! And even more gratefully, zero new purchases in fashion! So that part was a total success! Yay! 🥳✨️✨️✨️
Here are 3 selfie outfit photos from this week for further reflection.
#1. Work Outfit - Blouse + Skirt
I found wearing the pre-selected skirt ensemble absolutely brainless. It took a fraction of my time in the morning. I could focus more on my hair and makeup.
Small Refinements:
a) I would like some sticky tape to show less movement in my silky blouse by H&M. This white one is a GodSend. It goes with everything!
b) I wore my beige flat sandals with gold buckles this day. And needed a pair of gold earrings and gold bracelet which were not a part of my 33. So, I need to decide if I want to swap those or allow myself a separate jewelry capsule.
c) The temperature suddenly dropped low today. If I wear nude tights, I need to stock them in a drawer and check for any runs.

#2. Semi-Casual Outfit - Blouse + Jeans
So I'm taking the courage to share an outfit that didn't go so well. 🙈 Half of me didn't want to share it initially. This is what I wore to my doctor's appointment where I had to lay on the chiropractor's bed to get my neck re-aligned. So pants were a must. This combination was not something I had originally thought of. I concocted it in bed the night before, and didn't have enough time to check it in the mirror.
Also my hair had a wonky bit because I slept with the half updo style. And I see how hair volume really makes or breaks an outfit.
I see how stylish an outfit, thinking ahead the hairstyle and jewelry etc WITH a mirror... are SO CRITICAL!

#3. Gym Outfit - Nike Tshirt + Layered Gym Leggings with Shorts
I realized that 3 times a week, I wore this Gym ensemble. And since I worked from home a lot this week, I didn't wear my work stuff as much.
I really need to think ahead about realistically what types of outfits I truly need. I wore more casual sets than work sets.

Overall Conclusion & Actions
1. Decide on jewelry sets or swaps
2. Get clear on how many days of the week I wear professional outfits vs casual wear
3. Think ahead how to do my hair & style the outfit before a full length mirror, prepare sticky tape and hosiery
That's all for now, Dear Readers! If you're doing Project 333 or a Capsule Wardrobe for this fall, do share in the comments! 🩷🧸🧸🩷
