More with Less?
I have been reading the interviews over here from the Project 333 people.
The first link is to the interviews of Project 333 members. The second link is to the rules of Project 333.
How much do we need to live with?
I am not saying that I am in line with the Project 333 people because I am not. I am just looking into the way what they are doing is affecting my thinking and life. I have mad respect for those who can and do live with 33 items.
I have been talking and thinking lately about how many things we need in our lives. As a new mom, I realize that most of my time is going to taking care of my little girl. I also realize that I spend A LOT of time putting things away.
Due to breastfeeding, I have been limiting my wardrobe quite severely. I have so many items that I love that I don't want to ruin. In doing this, I am realizing how many items I have that I don't even wear and how many items I have built up as a work wardrobe. I realize that a lot of people cross items into work/casual/play categories and I do this somewhat but at the same time, I don't have much need for dress pants when I am not working. I also can't normally get away with jeans in my work life. I will admit that I am a denim girl at heart. If I had the opportunity, I would live in denim 80-90 percent of the time. In the summer I need some shorts (I am not as in love with jeans shorts) and there are a few days here and there where I want to dress up a bit more but the majority of the time I don't wear anything other than my jeans. To me, that means that I should look into downsizing the other non denim clothes in my life (for now, as I am not working).
At some point I am sure I will go back to work, so my question is, do I keep said dress clothes? I apparently don't buy too many FAD clothes as most of the dressy clothes that I have are already several years old. I have pants that I purchased in high school that I still wore for work this last year. Do I keep them? Sell them? Store them? Do I try the box them up out of sight for a certain amount of time and see if I need them?
I have been feeling really good about getting rid of the excess items in my life. I have a LONG way to go and I don't think I will ever have a clutter free life. (I love to many creative outlet hobbies.) If I were honest about it though, I could get rid of a lot of hobby items too as they don't get the love that they should either. Once a year for a pair of ski boots? Once a year for a baseball bat? A volleyball? They sit in a bright red garbage can in the garage the rest of the time. I am going to call them decoration. My husband calls them, "in the way".
Part of this declutter thinking has lead me to more thoughts about what I purchase... I will be posting about this soon.

Accessory Switcheroo - glassesusa.com
What is one accessory that you would like to switch up to fit your style but it gets too expensive?
Prescription glasses of course! Those of us who are a little blind, moi, love to have options for those days when we don't want to wear our contacts. I have options in my contacts (brown or brilliant blue) why not my glasses. Now I am able to add more style to my necessary accessories by changing out my specs to go with my mood. This is great since I have been spending more time in my glasses as a new mom. Sometimes it is easier to just head out the door in my glasses and sometimes it is just tough to find the time to put in my contacts... without poopy fingers. Eww... I know. I love that my new glasses allow me to wear see when I am not wearing my contacts without giving up style.
Who doesn't love to switch up their glasses when they switch up their style. I love to be a little bit rocker, a little bit casual, a little bit sparkly, and a little bit redneck/tomboy in my style among other things. (Just to clarify a bit - redneck equals my rubber boots... real rubber ones not the Hunter ones or the Burberry ones, jeans, Cabella's fleece, camo gloves, Jeep baby paraphernalia, Carhart hat, camo/orange diaper bag.)
I have wanted a new pair of glasses for a while but I have not been able to afford the hundreds of dollars to buy them. When I was approached by glassesusa.com to review their glasses, I was super excited. After looking at their site, I realized that a person didn't need to go to an eye doctor to spend hundreds of dollars on glasses. They just need a current prescription to get their cheap eyeglasses. I headed to their site and chose my poison. Their virtual tool helped me get an idea of what my choices would look like on me and away I went. Discount eyeglasses, cheap designer eyeglasses, designer prescription glasses what a deal! What a steal!
They also carry Nike prescription glasses, cheap prescription sunglasses, cheap eyeglass frames, and cheap reading glasses. This allows you to spend as little or as much as you want and get what you want.
I was really happy with the service that I got ordering my glasses and I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I received my glasses. When I am looking to purchase a pair of glasses with prescription lenses, I will definitely be heading back to glassesusa.com.
If you are interested in purchasing a pair of glasses that allow you to not have to choose between style and sight, (Those of us who interact with you i.e. meet you on the road appreciate you being able to see) head on over to glassesusa.com to try out their virtual tool (all you need is a straight on headshot) to see which glasses will fit your style or styles.

American Eagle... Yes PLEASE
I will admit that I have several items from American Eagle that I have had for YEARS...
...my winter coat.
A teal and blue plaid hooded bundle of wool goodness... which is dry clean only and I spilled ketchup on this weekend. Thankfully not the carpet in my truck but come on!
My FAVORITE pair of jeans. I have purchased this pair again on ebay because they don't sell it again. As I am wearing both of those pairs out (holes galore) I need to find me another pair (and the money to buy them!)
Three more of my semi favorite pairs of jeans. Yes out of 20-30+ pairs of jeans I own about 4-5 pairs of AE jeans. I don't think I own more than 2 of any other brand.
A tshirt that I thrifted, a bracelet and a sweatshirt that I was gifted round out my AE love items that have survived YEARS!
Next item needed.... these boots.... santa... are you listening??? Reading???
PLEASE!
