we were given unexpectedly warm weather for christmas this year while we were in utah. it was foggy the first several days we were there but on christmas day, the sun was shinning and it was, relatively, warm (perfect weather for running trails in the mountains!). the day after christmas it snowed though so i at least got my fix of seeing snow fall from the sky in winter. i am back in austin now and there is unseasonably warm weather here as well. i am not complaining a bit.
i have been contemplating new years resolutions or using new years as an excuse to start doing something i've been contemplating for awhile now. i'm considering participating in project 333. i'm not exactly a clothes horse, but the idea is to make myself more aware of what i wear and how i wear it...again. when i spent a couple months in tanzania in college, we were limited to what we could fit in our backpack for two months. by the end of my time there i had become very creative with how i wore my clothing and realized that less really can be more. i definitely have more clothing now than i could easily fit into a backpack, but many of these things i don't wear on a regular basis.
picking a wardrobe that will take me through the next few months is an appealing challenge. as a graduate student, i don't have to dress up for work everyday and living in texas, i don't need a lot in terms of cold weather clothing. however, the next few months will likely involve job interviews and traveling to climates very unlike where i live now...and my wardrobe would have to account for this. so, i am going through everything and seeing what i think will and won't be possible. i definitely think the project is doable, but having some time to visualize is nice!
