Yesterday kicked off the Tiny Closet Challenge. For the next six weeks, my closet and the closets of a brave crew taking the challenge with me will be quite bare. They'll contain just 33 items, to be exact.

During the days between making my wardrobe selection (here's how I went about it) and the start of the challenge, I felt an intense mix of excitement and nerves. A day or so into the challenge, I still do.

When I'm standing in my near-empty closet, I wonder: Is this the right mix of seasonal, functional items? Will I run out of variety and feel stuck? Time will tell. But looking at pictures of my wardrobe laid out, I get the feeling I'll have more than enough to wear.

Here is my wardrobe through July 12:

Notes on shoes and accessories: I'm nervous about only having two necklaces. I love necklaces! But the two I chose are extremely versatile, so I hope they'll be satisfactory for the next six weeks.

I was planning on shopping for a pair of white sandals to replace the black sandals, and then the strap on my black sandals ended up breaking yesterday! So now I really need to replace them.

Orange flats may seem like an odd choice, but I find myself wearing them almost too much. They add a nice pop of color to a variety of outfits.

Notes on tops and sweaters: Yesterday's heat made me nervous that I don't have enough summer tops, so I'm leaving the option open to replace the teal and gray striped sweater if that's the case.

I have two more camisoles that I'm considering undergarments and not counting in the 33. They're exactly like the black one but they're white and nude, and I'll only wear them as undershirts.

If I find a nicer chambray button down, I may replace the one above, which fits a bit oddly.

Notes on bottoms and dresses: I will miss all my fun summer dresses, but I came to discover that most of them aren't very versatile or they fit a bit oddly (I stretched some of them out last summer while pregnant).

So that's it! All the rest of the 150-some clothes hanging in my closet are out of sight in the guest bedroom. It feels so nice to have breathing room in my closet.

In the coming weeks I'll be sharing capsule wardrobes from others taking the challenge, and I'm sure they will look completely different than mine. There's no right way to pare down your wardrobe, and there's no harm if you choose to break a few "rules" either.
