Does the idea of getting dressed in the morning with ease sound appealing? How about saving time, money and mental energy?
You might be thinking that editing your wardrobe sounds overwhelming or that dressing with only 33 items is extreme.
The real truth …
“This “little” course changed my life. I’ve pared down my closet, yes – but the concept of living with less has spilled over into every area of my life.” – Ginger
“I loved Project 333 because it has inspired me enormously in my goal to live with less. I really enjoy the Facebook community as well. The ongoing support is fabulous!” – Maura
“Project 333 has taken the focus off clothes for me, and made it a lot less stressful because now I have a few items in my wardrobe, instead of it being stuffed full. It’s also given me the inspiration and passion for designing capsule wardrobes.” – Linda
“What I learned from the course is how much more time I have now when my decisions are not cluttered with stuff. As time has expanded, I’ve become more conscious about how I spend my time and I’ve made better decisions. This is really made my life better.” – Kathleen
“My closet is more peaceful and honestly, so is my life. It has helped me to reign in my crazy shopping habits as well. I’m still learning, but am enjoying the process.” - Peggy
“Your course has changed (and is continuing to change) the way I think about clothes and about how I present myself. I definitely spend less time stressing about what to wear. And have saved money too as I don’t just go out to shop.” – Marty
“I joined the P333 in September, 2012, and loved it! It made me much more creative with the pieces I kept, and a little adventurous as well. I feel more confident and way less stressed than when my closet was cluttered with clothing that I never wore because it didn’t suit me.” - Sandi
“It taught me to take a risk and prove to myself that I could actually live with only 33 items rather than living in fear and therefore hoarding things “just in case” I might need them one day! The course gave me freedom and now I will take more risks.” – Wendy
Before I tell you about this Microcourse, I should tell you what a Microcourse is and why I think they are wildly meaningful.
A Microcourse requires:
- micro-schedule: learn something new in a week or less
- micro-investment: always less than $20
- micro-inbox commitment: all course material delivered in one folder via one click download
A Microcourse delivers:
- mega-impact: each Microcourse presents the opportunity for awesome improvements in life, love, and/or health when put into practice.
I developed the Microcourse concept to make a big difference in your life and to help support this website in lieu of advertising or other alternatives. I understand that time, attention and money are finite resources and I don’t want to take advantage of yours. A Microcourse will always offer more for less so you can continue to be more with less.
The Dress with Less Microcourse is a collection of instructive, inspiring PDFs, audio recordings, playlists and recorded webinar combined with a supportive private Facebook community.
11 PDFs …

Each PDF will have new instructions and information to help you on your journey to dress with less and create a capsule wardrobe.
Also included:
- Audio message: My P333 Story
- Recorded Q&A Webinar
- 3 Additional Audio Recordings: Remove the Fear, One in one out, Clothes that Fit
- 2 Awesome playlists to inspire your journey
- Optional access to the private Facebook Group for questions, connection and accountability.
The material includes everything you need to know to create your own capsule wardrobe and begin to enjoy the beauty of less.
The material does not include excessive links, fluff or impossible tasks. Instead, a Microcourse delivers exactly what you need to know in an easy to access, affordable program. Once you purchase the course, it’s yours forever. There is no expiration date or limit on how many times you can review and implement the material.
“Imperfect action beats perfect inaction every time” – Harry Truman
The most important part of each Microcourse is closing the gap between awareness and action. The course material will increase your awareness of the importance of dressing with less. Delivering that information is my responsibility. The action part is your responsibility. This will only work if you implement the recommendations. Each day will have the information you need for awareness plus a special daily action steps section.

I am sharing my daily P333 look on Instagram. Share your looks too with hashtag #project333.
I’m thrilled to see that Project 333 is starting again on 1 April.
I first came across it about a month ago and wanted to do it then, but good sense prevailed … It is still winter here (England) and I’d have to stretch my 33 items over two seasons, covering a trip to Turkey in May as well. So, I waited.
A friend has since helped me sort out my wardrobe (I’m hopeless). We’ve packed away most of my clothes except the 33 items for spring, plus a few winter clothes, which I will pack away on 31 March.
Excited!
Hi Melanie,
Glad you have a friend to help! We’d love to see your list when you have it finished.
I purchased the Microcourse and will start with Project 333 on April 1st. I have already done extensive sorting out in my wardrobe, but there’s still some work left to be done. This will hopefully get me off to a good start. For example right now, I’m wearing a shirt that I love which is too small and uncomfortable. Why do I wear it, then? It’s going in the “donate” pile once I get home.
Anzi, Once you dress with less for a while, it gets easier and easier to dump the items that don’t fit or look and feel good.
I think I could really benefit from this. I found project 333 a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to pare down my wardrobe but I’m stuck at about 40 pieces. I definitely need to let go of those things I think I need but don’t.
Alyssa, 40 is a great number!
I am having a closet BINGE right now. One day I will join you,promise.
I’m one month in to my first season of project 333. In Finland, where I live, the temperature will (and does) change from -27 degrees celsius to hopefully +15-20 degrees by the mid-May, when I’ll be changing for the summer season. Layered clothing has indeed been of prime importance lately
I’m definitely contemplating on the microcourse, it’ll be helpful when planning my summer wardrobe. It’s been an amazing journey so far, spilling into other areas of my life too. Thank you for sharing the project!
I’m wondering if I can downsize to less than 33 and sew my way back up.
Many of my T shirts are really tired now, and it seems like it would be a good opportunity to pare down dramatically and grow a new wardrobe from scratch.
Keep me posted if you take this on. It sounds like an awesome idea!
I’m going to try.
I will start with 33 items, and as I make something, I’ll throw out what it replaces.
For example, I have navy blue pants which are past their best, so I’ll crop them to take on vacation in May (I’ll be cycling) and then replace them with new ones.
My only real problem is that my work clothes get covered in paint and they aren’t “work” clothes in the way most folks have them. They are more of a craftman’s coverall, or like safety gear – not multipurpose at all.
I think I probably just need to regard them as a uniform provided by my employer (me) and not count them. I certainly couldn’t use them for anything else, except possibly digging the garden or painting the house!
Do you think that sounds ok?
I LOVE that you’re sharing your daily P333 looks on Instagram! Such an awesome idea and great way to make it a community effort. I’ll look forward to seeing your creations : )
Courtney, this is awesome and I will be joining P333. I’m such a fan of how you create and deliver great products and learnings that bring meaning to our lives.
On a personal note…Can’t wait to work with you again in a coaching mode, very soon.
Can’t wait Lisa! You bring such amazing energy to our work together.
We are moving to Ecuador to retire. We are not shipping anything, we have 100 pounds each and we’re freaking out that we only had two suitcases we were allowed to fill with everything we would need to retire there. We needed this course, we found you through The Minimalists, Josh, Ryan and Colin. We have been working on letting go, but somehow we still had way too much in the loathing clothing department. Thank you so much.
Hi, I just lost 53 pounds, so it’s a great time to try this out…I think I’m actually at 40 items right now, so I think I can set aside 7 pieces without an issue. Thanks!
How timely this post is. I’m moving to the USA in 2 weeks.
Although now would be the ideal time to pick up your micro course, I need the head space for clearing out my house and spending time with friends and family.
I use the 20/80 rule while downsizing, however your 33 Items rule I’d love to apply when in your country.
Can”t wait to learn more.
See you in the USA!
I’ve noticed most, if not all, of these comments are written by women. Does the course have suggestions for men as well?
Hi James,
Men and women have participated and it can be helpful for both but I did write it from my own experience.
I just packed for a week vacation and I’m WAY over 33 items…….is there any hope? A way to begin from where i am at?
Seriously!
We all have to start somewhere Debra!
I’m with James. Is there anything for men in this course or is similar to the many other courses that are really directed at women? Minimalists directed us here and am hopeful that there’s valuable ideas and photos for we guys!
There are no photos at all in the course, but the steps are the same for men and women.
Hello! I just saw the shout out from the Minimalists! This looks great, Courtney. Can I just say an encouraging word to your readers that a minimal wardrobe is wonderful? In our newly finished 665 square foot home (for our family of five!) I have only 16″ of bar length for my hanging clothes, plus five small drawers. It can be done! And I don’t feel like I’m wearing the same thing all the time. A small, but well-curated jewelry collection helps too. I hope your course goes well!
Hello! Today I found Project 333, and I wish I’d discovered it earlier this year. What a great course for anyone working to minimalize a wardrobe. Will the course run again at a later date?
Anne, you can start anytime! And as far as I know, the microcourse is still available and that’s a week’s worth of goodness that one can apply to their lives whenever they find it convenient. Do join, it’s a blast
I found polyvore really useful when planning my capsule wardrobe. I started by finding close matches for things I wear all the time then filling in the gaps. It made me realise that I have a definite style and colour palate and now have a visual shopping list of what to look for. As a result I’ve bought maybe 3 things over the last two monthsbecause I have a definite list and everything in my wardrobe, including accessories, goes together.
This concept may be easier for guys but I decided to minimize my wardrobe a few years ago. 33 items actually seems like a big selection now. I think of as a uniform of sorts. A few grey slacks and dress shirts (blue and white) for work does the trick. For casual its either jeans or khaki shorts with either a black tee shirt or black buttondown. Throw a few shoes/boots depending on the occassion and thats it. The ease of mind in the morning is amazing.
Hola! Felicitaciones por las buenas ideas! Estoy interesada en el microcurso, pero solamente hablo español. Será posible en español o solamente es en inglés?
Saludos y muchas gracias!
