I’m counting this week as my first of my Project 333 journey, even though I began the wardrobe clean well over 10 days ago. Project 333 is a book by Courtney Carver. In it she explains the why and how of living with just 33 items of apparel at any one time. After beginning the… Read More The beginning of Project 333
If there’s one thing I’ve learned going into week 5 of Covid-19 lockdown in the UK, it’s that putting lipstick on makes my day go a lot better. I’m in month 4 of no shopping for another year. I’ve bought 2 out of my 5 allowed items and I thought it might be tough getting… Read More Lockdown and Lipstick
I’ve almost made it to the midway point in my journey and aside from three gifts and some replacement make-up, nothing new has entered into my tool kit for outward presentation. Not even pants. I shan’t lie, it has been lovely to receive new things to wear something fresh. But it’s also been refreshing to… Read More Wear What’s There Weekend
My husband and I had a date day today and it was lovely. No classes for half term and both babes in childcare meant a whole day to ourselves. I could feel guilty that I wasn’t at work yet wasn’t looking after the offspring, but I won’t-my marriage is important too! For said date, we… Read More Strong and Wrong
In case you’re new here, let me introduce myself. I’m Anna, I’m going a whole year styling myself without shopping and I have a tendency to get words and phrases muddled up. This isn’t as a result of having two babies and a totally sleep deprived brain, it is something that I have always done.… Read More Mend but don’t make do
Wow I’ve let my commitment to the blog slip of late. My absence wasn’t due to a sneaky shop I felt I needed to hide, I’ve just been in survival mode. Writing down musings about my journey unsurprisingly hasn’t been up there on my priority list. And to be honest, nothing much has changed anyway,… Read More Week 11… Yearnings for new denim…
As mentioned on one of my Insta posts of late, this week has been a toughy. Both babes have been poorly and in need of liquid paracetamol. The big one has been acting a little rotten as a result and the small one was moving further into his plan to be a total sleep thief.… Read More Week 8… Copping out with a Cliché Conclusion
Thanks for checking in on my progress. If it wasn’t for you, I’m fairly sure this week would have broken me. I mean, not actually of course, but I definitely considered cheating or just giving up this week. And here’s why: All of a sudden, my toddler daughter’s tights seemed to give her an unacceptable… Read More Week 6 – To excuse, cheat or give up…
This little blog is an update on my progress, a confessional if need be and a way to share the musings of my journey to wearing only what is already in my wardrobe this year. This week saw an impromptu date night, two nights where I got three hours sleep in a row (!) and… Read More Week 5 – One month done
My dear friend once explained to me that upon becoming a mother, she no longer bothered to put clean clothes on in the morning. I can remember smugly thinking to myself (I was quietly in the early days with my first), that I would never let my standards drop… So now I confess to you… Read More Week 4 – Dressing on the run…
