Pantone, bless their silly hearts, actually gave us TEN "new" colors for Spring and Summer 2013. Now we, as wise humans, understand that you can't invent a color, but we also appreciate that the Pantone nod of approval means that these colors will be available in stores. So if we're considering a new accent color for 2013, we are going to have choices...Dusk blue is pretty, versatile, flattering to most of us, and easy to mix with your current core wardrobe.

One thing we know for a fact: there will NOT be fashion police, running around the world with Pantone swatches, enforcing the "fidelity" of every green item that's manufactured during 2013. And for us, that's good news, because this means that there will be a variety of... interpretations... of "emerald" available to purchase. If the authentic emerald isn't your best green, you will still have lots of options available, if you choose to explore the possibilities of green in your wardrobe.

To great fanfare, 2013's "color of the year" has been announced, and it's the very easy-to-wear emerald! Emerald's particularly "neutral" to most capsule wardrobes, because it's a perfect balance of yellow and blue i.e. a perfect balance of warm and cool. This means, theoretically, that pretty much everybody should be able to wear it without looking ghastly...First off, let me make it perfectly clear that if you don't LIKE green (okay, LOVE it), you don't have to participate in this little marketing-driven pseudo-trend. Green becomes the color of the year when everybody is TOLD that it's the color of the year, and then they all buy it, and voila, the prediction comes true. Heaven knows that I didn't participate in ... View the Post
You don't need to make teeny pictures in order to create a Project 333 capsule wardrobe for yourself; a list will do just fine... It would, of course, be possible to print these images and then "check them off" as each ensemble was worn. But the point, ultimately, is NOT to have an infinite number of different outfits, but rather to have just enough choices to be able to quit shopping and move on to more rewarding activities! And of course, 208 is NOT exhaustive... but it would get me well into July, so I just plain quit finding new combinations. I think after 6 months, I will be ready to ditch cashmere, tweed and ...

December 6, 2012 I set up my collapsible clothing rack (this very portable baby), and started pulling garments out of the closet, and onto the rack, in order to isolate the 33 that are going to be my wardrobe for the first three months of 2013.My priorities: 1. My favorite stuff must be here! 2. It could get cold... (I say this after being able to sleep with the window open most of this week) 3. I've got to look appropriate for work, probably a serious meeting or two, and my leisure time.Here we go!
