Project 333, Fall 2018, Part Two: Tiny Warm Version

Project 333, October-December 2018: Tiny Warm Version
#project333

As the days get colder, the clothes basics change. September staples bring October shivers.

Plus, I'm aware that my current "happy wardrobe" is not exactly a tiny wardrobe. Courtney Carver is the first to say that her numbers may not be your numbers, but still there's a difference between "33, everything" and "60+, not counting anything except clothes." I can't imagine counting sunglasses as an item (although Courtney does),  and I also don't find that scarves and belts cause decision fatigue; but it doesn't seem fair to say you're playing the game if you ignore all the rules. So if I had to map out a core of autumn basics, I'd probably choose these, as the most multi-purpose and multi-weather things I own.
I keep learning things about why my clothes aren't your clothes, and your clothes aren't anyone else's clothes. Recently I tried on a couple of pastel-toned Oxford shirts at the thrift store. Theoretically, I should be in the colour group that can wear light pastels, especially as I get older and my hair is lighter. But no, those pastels are still a no-go for me: pale pink and blue make me look like I'm wearing a (very unflattering) uniform, especially in preppy-style shirts. The blue and white striped shirt (photo below) works better because the colour is more broken up.

One thing I'm leaving off the list: tank tops, because at this time of year, they're mostly under things. Also accessories, other than shoes and purses. Also sunglasses.
