Hi friends! I finally bit the bullet and put together a Project 333 capsule wardrobe this season. I’ve written about my All Season Capsule Wardrobe, as well as how to create a 10 Piece Starter Pack, but this capsule wardrobe is a little different. Following the Project 333 guidelines it is only for Autumn and consists of 33 items. I decided to include accessories and bags but not shoes.
First, I’ll share all the pieces I chose (10 of which I’d already selected for my personal starter pack), and then at the end of the post I’ll share how I’m choosing to keep clothes interesting (without spending a ton!) while still maintaining my capsule.
Let’s start with dresses!
Notes: I have dressier options on hand for special occasions. But since I would probably only wear those once (or not at all), they don’t have to be included. These are more go-to, everyday dresses.
Dresses
Little Black Dress
Target
Maxi Skirt (+Grey Tee)
Stitch Fix
Shirt Dress
Kohl’s
Outerwear
Outerwear. When you live in South Florida you can get away with a super small amount in this category. (And I won’t have to go any warmer than this in Winter either!)
Jean Jacket
Stitch Fix
Grey Cardigan
Target
Black Cardigan
T.J. Maxx
Vest
Stitch Fix
Striped Cardigan
Stitch Fix
Bottoms
Bottoms! I’ve never been someone who feels the need to own a bunch of pants. The unpictured pair of jeans is what I’m most often sporting. But I do love a good pair of dress pants. If you’re short, Kohl’s is where it’s at for slacks.

Tops
This is probably the biggest category in any capsule. I tried to limit my picks to the items I most often gravitate to anyways…and then narrow down based on season, matching capability, and occasion versatility.
Graphic Tee
Studio Nico
Black Tee

Striped Shirt

Navy Silk Blouse

Patterned Silk Blouse
Kohl’s
Plaid Shirt
Forever 21
Pink Ruffle Top

Bags
Honestly, I have about a gajillion other bags but I rarely crack them out. These are my bare bones bag options and I really think they’re all I need.
Black Cross-Body
Tom Bihn
Backpack

Accessories
My favorite pieces for dressing up a boring outfit! Of course, jewelry is tiny and easy to access so it’s not the end of the world if I branch outside the capsule every now and again.
Statement Necklace
Forever 21
Everyday Necklace
H&M
Ok, so if you’ve been keeping count you’ll know we’re at 30 pieces. Which leaves us with 3 more spaces to be filled! These 3 spaces are how I keep things interesting while still maintaining my capsule. Because they are filled with an ever rotating cast of closet characters thanks to Le Tote. I signed up for Le Tote a few months ago and I absolutely LOVE IT! They send you 3-5 items (depending on the subscription you sign up for), you wear them as much as you want, send them back…and they send you more!
So last week I had a beautiful 3/4 length sleeve dress, a t-shirt with embroidered birds on the front, and a mustard yellow cross-body bag. This week? A cardigan cut like a blazer, a black turtleneck, and a dainty necklace. Mixed and matched with my capsule the outfit possibilities are endless!!!
If you’d like to try Le Tote, you can get $25 off your first month by CLICKING HERE and using promo code SHOPLT.

Love your over the shoulder bag! Absolutely gorgeous. I’d love to create something like this, I like the idea of a capsule wardrobe 🙂
Seems like a nice blending of outfits. Lots of greys and blacks but some good blends of different colours here. And great accent pieces to go with the outfits.
You have a really great wardrobe for the fall! You had a lot of cute stuff from target, it’s been a while since I shopped there for clothes. I’ll have to pop in!
