About this ebook

Wear just 33 items for 3 months and get back all the JOY you were missing while you were worrying what to wear.

In Project 333, minimalist expert and author of Soulful Simplicity Courtney Carver takes a new approach to living simply--starting with your wardrobe. Project 333 promises that not only can you survive with just 33 items in your closet for 3 months, but you'll thrive just like the thousands of woman who have taken on the challenge and never looked back. Let the de-cluttering begin!

Ever ask yourself how many of the items in your closet you actually wear? In search of a way to pare down on her expensive shopping habit, consistent lack of satisfaction with her purchases, and ever-growing closet, Carver created Project 333. In this book, she guides readers through their closets item-by-item, sifting through all the emotional baggage associated with those oh-so strappy high-heel sandals that cost a fortune but destroy your feet every time you walk more than a few steps to that extensive collection of never-worn little black dresses, to locate the items that actually look and feel like you. As Carver reveals in this book, once we finally release ourselves from the cyclical nature of consumerism and focus less on our shoes and more on our self-care, we not only look great we feel great-- and we can see a clear path to make other important changes in our lives that reach far beyond our closets. With tips, solutions, and a closet-full of inspiration, this life-changing minimalist manual shows readers that we are so much more than what we wear, and that who we are and what we have is so much more than enough.

Ratings and reviews

It's a nice book with a good plan for decluttering life, but starting with clothes. It's a bit repetitive, but the price is good. The author's idea is life changing if you give it a try.

I thought I knew everything there was to know about Project 333 from social media but this book told me otherwise!! It is a great resource for anyone wanting to dip their toe into living a more minimalist life...she gives you easy to digest methods and shares how her journey into minimalism started. Although my anxiety at this point won’t allow me to divest my closet of EVERYTHING I am not wearing (it will just lead me to shop even more), I agree with 99% of what she suggests. Great easy read too!!

Loved it! I thought about going capsule Wardrobe before, but it seemed scary because I didn't have a lot of the kinds of clothes that I was seeing in people's wardrobes..and I didn't want to have to get rid of all of my clothes, except for 33...well you don't have to, but somewhere along the journey of Project 333 I'm reading that you might not be afraid to let go of quite a few eventually. I'm on the 3rd day of 1st season. She makes it a friendly journey for you with lots of guidance along the way in the book and at her website and on Instagram. Now I'm on my way to reading her first book Soulful Simplicity.
