PL One of the minimalist challenges that I recently resolved to undertake is Project 10x10. I learned about it on a Polish slow life and slow fashion blog Kameralna.com.pl . So, what's Project 10x10 all about? In short, it's about selecting 10 items of clothing for 10 days. Nothing more, nothing less. 10 clothes include tops, bottoms, dresses, and shoes. 10 clothes DO NOT include outerwear, lingerie, and accessories.   This is, for me, another level of a capsule wardrobe.

If you are interested in adopting a minimalist lifestyle but your inhibitions take over, let me reassure you. As The Minimalists put it in their book, Minimalism: Live a Meaningful Life , you can do anything for ten days, right? This is where some minimalism challenges may be of use. If you are scared or unsure of what minimalism may bring about, try out some of those challenges for any period of time and simply assess if the scope, duration, or rules are cut out to your needs.

Right now, I am collecting ideas and gradually implementing some of the minimalist challenges:   30-Day Minimalism Game No Spend Challenge Zero Waste Challenge Minimalism Challenge KonMari method : My KonMari challenge Project 10x10 : My Project 10x10 Capsule wardrobe/Project 333 Wear the same clothes for two weeks Project bottom The details will follow over the upcoming weeks :) You ...
