Courtney CarverProject 333: The Minimalist Fashion Challenge That Proves Less Really is So Much More

I am a really good organizer and purger, but I read this book because I like what Courtney has to say and it did not disappoint. I am a minimalist at heart and usually do a pretty good job. Last week I donated a garbage bag of clothes. I thought that was great. After reading the book yesterday, I came up with another garbage bag and a half, cleaned my entire pantry and fridge and doing under my bathroom sink next. Yes, Project 333 is mainly about clothes but it will spark you to do so much more.

I have followed Courtney Carver and her Project 333 challenge nearly it's decade of existence.I suspected that this book would be similar to all that sh has written before about the project. It is, but it's much more!Carver does a wonderful job of explaining Project 333 and encouraging the reader (gently and with humour) to give it a try.Carver also gives the reader so much to think about in terms of personal development, creativity, and creating the life you want.

Allow yourself the possibility of life transformation by simply starting with your wardrobe. For me, the key to making life simpler just started in my closet with Project 333. Thank you, Courtney Carver. Thank you for helping me let GO and look GOOD!I love this quote from the author too, because I started fearful and now I'm grateful: "People who haven't tried this fashion challenge often share their fears about it, and the people who have tried it share their gratitude."And don't be confused, this is about so much more than just clothes. :)

I have followed Courtney Carver for quite a while and often sing her praises to friends lamenting their overstuffed closets. It's easy to pigeon hole her into the category of 'minimalist wardrobe', but she's about so much more than that.The book opens with an explanation of Project 333 (for 3 months, dress with no more than 33 items) and the best way to go about experimenting with this idea. She then moves into why you would want to try it; for example, the emotional impact of opening a closet that contains clothing with the tags still on or that remind you of a sad occasion, and the decision fatigue you can experience when faced with too many choices on a daily basis. She also explores all the emotions and underlying beliefs about retail therapy and why we often find ourselves owning more clothing that we could wear out in a life time. The book is full of inspiration, guidance, and resources.Even if you have followed her faithfully and had heard a lot of this before (as I have) it is great to have everything in one place for reference and well worth the time and money to read, and re-read, this book. Excellent!

What a beautiful book, inside and out! The cover, spine, and pages look and feel like a treat. Of course the writing is where it’s at: Courtney writes in a simple and relatable way. The chapters are short and to the point, but she doesn’t miss anything. This book is a practical guide to learning how to live with a minimal wardrobe. It’s written so anyone can do it, regardless of where we’re starting from. There is so much in here on overall health and wellness, too, which is a pleasant surprise. I’ve enjoyed every page of it and am excited to begin the project myself and see what happens next!

I used this book for inspiration. I’ve always wanted to incorporate minimalism into my wardrobe but I just wasn’t sure how so never really got started. This was freeing and fun. Thank you Courtney! By Diane Galati

I have followed Courtney on Be More with Less for a good while. She is a very calming influence for slowing down and living with less. If you have followed her for a long time as I have, you may not learn a lot in this book. I did not, but the reminder was still good. I went to my closet and put amount 10 items in a give away box as I was reading!

I got my book yesterday (a pre-order) and am really looking forward to reading it. I have been through a 333 wardrobe cleanse a few years ago, and it really made a difference. I started following Courtney because I also have multiple health issues, and I appreciate her encouragement to declutter and slow down.

I was hoping from this book I would get ideas about minimising my wardrobe, how to create and pair outfits, how much realistically we need and information on good quality brands to invest in that are not fast fashion. Unfortunately none of this information was provided as it was a “what works for you will be different for everyone” so it was basically experiment and find out for yourself what works. I could’ve done that myself not paying money to read this book.

Agree with the previous reviewer. Disappointing. A suggestion was "dress in monochrome"; the author appears to dress entirely in black. Only for the most ardent minimalists I would have thought. I must have clicked on this book by mistake when it appeared as a suggestion, i meant to download a sample, wouldn't have bought it if I had

I hesrd about the proyect 333 through almost every minimalist advocate. I have actually downsized my wardrobe and my life already, but how to keep a small closet while my circumstances were changing was a real challenge. I cannot wait to leave the confinement and give this a good try!

Good book, very interesting and challenging about how much we own. Would recommend.

Such a good guide for anyone who is looking to streamline their wardrobe.
