- Thanks to a suggestion from one of my viewers, who asked if I would take the 333 challenge. I have chosen three tops, three bottoms and three pairs of shoes/boots.
I have combined them using some accessories, see what you think. I stopped after fifteen I think as it was obvious what I would do next, and I didn't want to insult your intelligence... by just keep putting the same combo of tops with different bottoms. Hope you enjoy it. xx

Helen there aren’t enough words to describe how brilliant you are. This was a fantastic exercise with gems in amongst. It has made me really think about my clothes and how to wear them especially if you are going away somewhere As you so rightly said experiment and don’t be afraid to try. Why do we worry what anyone else thinks You are such a breath of fresh air 😊
That is really very kind of you, thank you xx
Hi Helen, terrific thank you. 🏴xx
Nice maam watching from Philippines
Thank you Helen for taking up the 333 challenge, great outfits and ideas for mixing and matching. I am sure you have given your followers lots of ideas on how to get the best out of their favourite clothes. Many thanks.
My pleasure, thank you xx
Thank you Helen for the fashion show. Some great ideas.😊 Dolly had me in stitches barking at the door.😂 i must admit i usually change this amount of times just going out shopping!!i😮 i can never get my look right first go😂. Then i come home having to hang all the clothes back up again! 😂. Sending ❤to all from Rosie O from a slightly warmer Devon, England 🏴
Ah, thank you xx
Very elegant, you look as gorgeous as ever. You prove you do not need to be size 12 to look amazing. Yes we would all love to be a few sizes smaller and like you I dress appropriately and always try and make an effort. I am what am and most days I feel I look pretty ok.I wear colours that suit me and often get nice comments so for a 60 something I do the best I can 😊❤
Good for you and I'm sure you look lovely xx
Great ideas Helen. The only thing that would happen to me is that I would drop something ( food ) down the front of the T shirt, silk shirt so although it would be lovely to just pack these items, I’m such a mucky pup I could only wear them once….unless you had washing and ironing facilities I need to take multiples of the tops. You got a lot of looks out of the bare bones though, especially the bags and jewels.. it is great.
Thank you xx
Me Too Diana ! A real muck magnet !
Loved all the looks you did such a great choice , that’s the problem with us woman we more concerned about what other people think of what we look like ,so we play it safe . I’m definitely going to try and come out of my comfort zone . Thank you for doing the blog 😊
My pleasure, thank you xx
Wished I’d bought that skirt! You look really classy in that…and that belt❤
I would love to see another 333 with some prints and solids in the blues you love so much, not all blues but a few pieces with your jeans, trousers and a skirt and layering pieces!! Please consider!!
I'll see what I can do xx
Helen, this was brilliant, thank you. I’m going away for a weekend with some old school friends and I’m travelling with a friend who has a two seater sports car. So not much luggage room. This video was enormously helpful as to what to take in my small suitcase. By the way I love Dolly, her expressions are wonderful.
Have fun and thank you xx
Dolly was on full guard dog duties today! This was fabulous - you looked so great in every outfit you showed us. The silk blouse really lifted the outfits with a bit of glamour, lovely. What a brilliant idea to mix and match for us, to give us ideas to follow - such a simple challenge, but so worth doing. PS I loved what you do with the sleeves of the sweater, tucking them together in front to hold the sweater in place over your shoulders.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it xx
‘I am , what I am’ great statement, one we all need to live by & enjoy. The outfits look great.
Thank you xx
Hello Helen I love your comment about not being afraid of being out of your comfort zone. That we should be more confident and try something new. I've found since getting older I'm losing my confidence with my fashion sense and I've been reluctant to try new styles. But your comment has encouraged me to be a bit more adventurous. Thank you. 😊
Go for it. Life is short, we might as well try and enjoy it xx
Great video, Helen. i really enjoyed it. All the outfits looked good on you. I had to laugh when you said about changing your bottom. 😂❤
I know, sometimes I just forget what I'm saying.... obviously, haha xx
Hellooo Helen ,some great ideas in this video.My favourite look was the first all white , I have the same skirt and it’s so versatile for mixing and matching tops etc.N summer I wear mostly white head to toe with small touches of colour,it lightens the face and skin .Coco Chanel said always wear it near your face and hands,and as they say if it was good enough for super elegant Coco then it’s good enough for me .xx😂
Sounds good to me xx
The very first outfit was really, really nice…totally monochrome and made you look expensive and sophisticated even with the white trainers…loved it! Great exercise!
Any ideas for someone who doesn’t wear jewelry…have never really worn it and honestly don’t care for it, but I think it looks nice on others (for the most part), and I can see what it adds for sure…thanks!
Scarves are the obvious replacement for jewellery. But as someone who loves jewellery.... I can't think of much else. xx
@@Helenmaryjo Thanks, Helen!
That first all white outfit with the waist emphasis is absolutely stunning on you. Also, love that Dolly is living her best life!
She certainly is. xx
I am always changing depending on where I am going. Could be three times in a day depending on how I feel and the weather of course. As soon as I get in off comes the jewellery and my outfit and then I relax putting on my flip flops, skinny jeans and a basic strappy top as that is what I feel most comfortable in for household chores and relaxing. Thank you for modelling and taking time out to show using the same staple garments you can change your look up or down depending on the occasion. I love it 😻 X
Thank you, gosh I never change clothes during the day. I'm too lazy! haha xx
Thanks for doing this challenge Helen.Certainly one to consider when having a weekend away.Loved the looks amazing how accessories change an outfit.👍👏👏👏Well done!!!
@@alisonmckenzie1415 my pleasure xx
That makes a great capsule wardrobe for a holiday 👌🏻
It is good to focus the mind xx
Hi Helen, great video - loved all the outfits, and you’re right what a difference just changing out the necklace or scarf made. The white skirt and T-shirt in your first look, was really lovely, very flattering. Great job 👏
Thank you very much xx
One of you best videos I think,fun and inspiring .I've never realised how much accessories are so useful for pulling separates together,every look fab...thanks
Ah, thank you xx
Love your hair and makeup.
@@monikamichaelis-iw3to thank you very much xx
Love the pleated skirt and white T-shirt 👍
Thank you xx
The white is very slimming on you, lovely outfit Helen
Quite surprising isn't it. Thank you xx
you always look amazing Helen. love it x
Thank you so much, that's very kind xx
Really fun. You said several times you wouldn’t have tried the outfits which is fun to here. If I tried to wear white more than one day I’d be filthy. I am bad at spilling coffee or tea on myself. It must be exhausting changing that many times. Courtney Carver started Project 333 over 10 years ago to make getting dressed in the morning easier, not for a trip but for everyday ease. She does it for 3 months at a time.
Wow, I couldn't be that disciplined. xx
Hi Helen, really enjoyed seeing all the combinations you put together - definitely food for thought 😊. Loved seeing Dolly again x
Thanks so much 😊 xx
Helen, my head is spinning! Lost count of the outfits. A very interesting exercise. We should all try it once. In my case, without the whites, as I am the messiest person ever!🙄 Thank you and have a great weekend. We are blessed with a bit of sunshine here in North Devon today. Hope it lasts a bit longer. 🙏 Anna-Marie x
Sunny this morning.... though chilly. Lovely day so far xx
The outfits look great, love Dolly.
Thank you xx
Fabulously classy 👌 Lovely to see Dolly too x
Thank you! 😊 xx
Having Confidence in our clothes is not a size thing at all. At size 22 I felt very self conscious….now at a size 10 still no confidence if I’m dressing well and appropriately for my age 57yrs so thank you so much for this . I just need somewhere to go now !
You and me both! xx
This is so accurate! Worked for a while in retail and found that it was the slimmer ladies who lacked most confidence at the fitting rooms 😮 it's all about learning to love and accept ourselves ❤
Hi Helen loved this thanks for sharing I’m going to unpack my suitcase & repack now loved you in the white outfit I’ve got 3 pleated skirts but somehow they don’t suit me it’s all about what suits you my mum used to say you can look just as good in a £1 dress as in a £100 dress if it suits you anyway loved watching have a lovely weekend x
Clever Mum xx
What a brilliant video Helen, really mades you think about what pieces you have already, when buying new, and what you can wear them with to get extra use out of them thanks for all the extra work you put into this video. Looking forward to trying this out! 💕
Thanks so much 😊 xx
Quite pretty outfits! 86F/30C here today, can't imagine putting on boots (or even thick jeans). we can always tell a Euro tourist because they have a sweater around their shoulders, waist, or bag; waiting for a Spring evening "cool down" that never comes.🌈🌞
Haha, we do go on holiday to 'not warm' countries too of course. I think as Brits we find it hard to trust that we won't need 'something warm' haha xx
Hello, Dearest Helen. I loved today's game show. I must say I've always been a fan of white on white. It looked fab on you. Everything looked awesome. Toodles 😊😊
Thank you, that's very kind xx
I am a capsule wardrobe person and it makes life so much easier (at least for me!). Your choice of pieces to mix/match was good. I would have added a dressy flat or wedge instead of the heel - that's just a personal thing, I don't care for slim heels with jeans. I find it part of the fun of the capsule - finding new ways of putting things together!
Sounds good xx
Loved this! You really made this work, there wasn't one outfit I didn't love. Well done. I think it shows that a few classic pieces will see you anywhere, a silk shirt, neutral sweater, white trainers etc, can be worn so many different ways.
They can. Thank you xx
Well done you Helen, I really enjoyed this challenge. Seeing the difference just small changes made to an outfit has given me ideas to try too. ❤
Thank you xx
Thank you Helen. Interesting concept. I loved the first outfit in all white. Even though you are a size 18 you are very stylish and you look very good. It gives us mature ladies incentive to dress really well with what we have got. ❤
That's great to hear xx
Helen, what a creative lady you are. 333 challenge was really great, couldn't believe how many outfits you came up with and could have even kept going. Such good advice about trying something different. You are a gem!!
Thanks so much 😊 xx
Another really enjoyable video Helen, thank you 😃 Love your asides and your attitude to life, always brightens up my day 😁 have a lovely weekend ❤
So glad, and you xx
Really appreciated this exercise Helen. I’m packing for six weeks in Europe soon and am definitely going to look at using accessories more after this rather than relying on clothes changes (if you know what I mean). Also trying everything on before I go is a tip that I’ve picked up here. Pretty obvious but I’ve never done it! I also love your attitude to fashion, our bodies and life! X
Thank you very much xx
PS: Have a great trip xx
Helen thanks for the ideas. That gorgeous blouse is one of my favourite colours and I love your small bags. Pewter is one of my favourite colours for shoes and bags. It goes with everything. I'm waiting for the day Dolly starts 'talking' to the camera!! 😄
Only a matter of time! haha xx
What an interesting concept this 333 challenge is, thoroughly enjoyed this video and has made me want to dash off upstairs to see what I can do with my wardrobe staples! The white skirt 3 ways at the start of the video was fascinating all the looks are fabulous x
Thank you very much xx
Your so funny Helen, love the ideas ,great seeing someone so cool and real.
That's very kind, thank you xx
Great video for this challenge. Gave me some ideas!
That's good to hear xx
Hi Helen, thank you for sharing agree accessories can make all the difference 😊
Thank you xx
Liked the video. Thanks again Helen.
Glad you enjoyed it xx
Dolly is protecting you, bless her. Also she is loving a good bark. You really are an inspiration Helen. Glad you had fun doing this, not surprised you got confused as to how many outfits you tried. Great job
Thanks so much xx
Thank you Helen !
My pleasure xx
You must be exhausted after all that changing!! 😂 loved them all but think my favourite is 12, black jeans, pink blouse and black crossbody bag. 👍🏻. Great ideas for the weekend ❤
Thank you very much xx
Some great ideas, thanks a million for all the work. It's amazing how scarves or bags can change a look so much
They really can xx
Hi Helen, definitely an interesting and successful experiment! Shows what can be achieved when we only have a limited amount of items to choose from. When you said change my bottom 🤣 I'm guilty of saying that so often, but like you, also wish I could! Thank you! Xx
Haha, I think most would say the same. xx
Loved this vlog Helen I'm hoping it will stop me from over packing.
Dolly so makes me smile...love how she is almost checking out your clothing choice. 😂
Thank you for sharing Helen you work so hard want you to know it is appreciated by your community. 😊❤
Thank you very much xx
Dolly thinking….”what’s that Stuff there for” ?? 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Yes, she has reason to be confused xx
Thank you Helen, so many times I have wondered what to wear or say I have worn that before in the same company of friends but this just shows you how many looks you can have from things you already have in your wardrobe, thank you x❤
And when you access to all of your clothes, it's very easy to mix and match xx
Yes I tried this for a hand luggage only holiday. Like you I tried to vary the styles eg, not 3 T-shirts but 3 different style tops. Theoretically 333 makes 27 outfits. 😀
It does, but I didn't want to bore you all to death! haha xx
Somerset here!....those fitted navy blue trowers look really good & are soo slimming (But not tucked in boots😁...sooo much better than baggy!! I get the feeling they're trying to bring baggy back BUT there's no way I'm going to go that route again! Ps. 'They' will never get rid of leggings..they are here to stay! Enjoying the video😊
Thank you xx
There needs to be all sorts of pant styles,we all have different bodies,I couldn’t wear leggings,my legs are not slim enough,and my bottom looks much better if the pants skim it,then there is the fact I have very narrow hips,and wide leg pants make me look in proportion.I like the fact that there are so many choices.
@@JanetBrown-px2jn yes..i forgot to mention that not everyone can wear leggings! (But do🤐) my daughters & daughter in law can pull them off no probs! I love Capri pants from back in the day..not too tight but just a nice fit.
thanks that has been very interesting, next time I think I've got nothing to wear I'll try what you've just done. Also just wanted to say I just came back from holiday and for the first time in 20 years wore a high waisted bikini like you. It was fab, I felt comfortable, looked ok and no more struggling with a swimsuit going to the loo. thank you Helen
That is sooo good to hear xx
I always take too many clothes which aren't really matching!! 🤔 This 333 challenge is so simple but effective. Thanks Helen. 🤗
Glad it was helpful! Thank you xx
Hi Helen
Loved the upload 3 3 3 challenge just watched it
It's a great idea
Always enjoy ur uploads
You give us gal's great ideas❤
Thanks so much 😊xx
As always everything you wore looked really good,but I’m with a lot of other commenters,the skirt outfits were perfect,especially the first one,and the one with the black scarf.Thank you for all the work that went into this video.😊
Thank you, I appreciate that xx
Lovely video Helen, some really great ideas. I do agree with you about not worrying about buying expensive items; I find if the clothing is stylish one can find some treasures in a budget chain store. Thanks for taking the time to produce such fab content ❤
It's how you put them together. I often have Primark along with silk, it all works xx
How on earth did I miss this video?! I loved the concept and loved what you did with all the different combinations. Absolutely brilliant Helen 🤩😍 xxx
Ah, thank you xx
Thanks Helen, first time commenting here but just had to say you nailed this challenge. The white ensemble suited you so well, lovely elegant lady 😊
Thanks so much! 😊 xx
HB As you said, Helen, a very interesting exercise and it certainly made me think about my wardrobe! No matter how hard I try, I still can’t get down to a “capsule”, but this idea could help. Nice of Dolly to get so involved this time!
It is a really good project to focus the mind xx
Ooooo, I like those black trousers too!!
Thank you xx
Hi Helen, lovely to see you sometimes when going out I'm undecided what to wear the way you teamed up everything has inspired me to experiment with different looks! You looked lovely in all, absolutely love your pleated skirt & satin blouse. Thank you for sharing, take care 💜 XX
My pleasure, thank you xx
Loved this video Helen thank you x I always pack too much x
So do I! haha xx
Enjoyed this so much! I am back after being away. Now for a Hell's Belles catch-up marathon weekend! I do love that skirt! And I really liked the black scarf and boots. xx
Ah, thank you. Enjoy! xx
Hi Helen, nothing to dislike here whether you dress the outfits up or down all perfectly co ordinated. If i had to choose all outfits in white skirt were very chic which you could wear to many events. Thanks for sharing an amazing video. Put your feet up with a cuppa lol. Take care Helen xx
Thank you very much xx
The all white look ….fab. The silk shirt T shirt and jeans look amazing. You would never think you’re a size 18. Im going to practice the idea. Ty x
Thank you very much xx
Loved this video Helen and as usual, you looked fab in everything 😊. You definitely would make a great Personal Stylist😊. Have a lovely weekend ❤ xx
Thank you and you xx
Mine was just lying in the sunshine ignoring Dolly’s barking! 😂
Loved this one, I’m going to go and look through my own wardrobe now and see if I can do my own 333 challenge! Have a lovely weekend!
Have fun! xx
Really interesting. Love Dolly's commentary.
Thank you xx
Hi Helen , I must agree that accessories do make a huge difference to what you’re wearing and l like you love my jewellery to lift me up and make me feel good,but my favourites are my pearls 😊Take care Emily xxx
I love pearls too. Thank you xx
Thank you Helen, that was a great video and honestly has inspired me to try the same, I definitely default to certain outfits but this has prompted me to mix it up a bit.
It's good to chop and change xx
That was inspiring Helen.I probably woudn't have thought of some the outfits but they worked perfectly.you looked very put together and sophisticated.I am looking forward to trying this with my own wardrobe.
You are so welcome xx
Good of you. I always take to much on a trip. So tiresome. Liked the first and the one with the blouse open with the black jeans. Yes the assesoires makes the outfit ❤
Thank you xx
Well done Helen…I’m bloomin’ exhausted watching you doing all these changes! Once again, Dolly cracks me up…it’s her expression looking at everything…just love her! Absolutely no need to reply to this by the way - you are busy enough. Thanks again for doing what you do.
Thank you. PS: I always reply or ackowledge xx
Loved the first outfit in white and belt. It really brings out your figure showing your waist. Well done with all those outfits. I don’t know about anyone else but I get so flustered these days trying to plan outfits for time away.
You have to take some time to organise it. But it's worth it xx
Great idea and I’ll try this next time I’m travelling for a short break. Dolly’s face watching you at the beginning was hilarious 😂xx
Yes gets very confused, naturally enough. To be fair, she's not the only one! haha xx
@@Helenmaryjo I know the feeling 😂x
Helen I’m not sure if you’ve ever seen stretchy sleeve garters to keep your sleeves up and organized not just turned over. Amazon has these for less than 10.00 dollars. I love them and they keep my sleeves up all day with no discomfort. You need to try a set. Love you Always from Chico, California. Vicki
I haven't but I'll look now xx
Thanks Helen, wow that was fabulous. Such great ideas and great styling ❤
I think we’re all guilty of that wondering what others think. Have a fabulous time when the four of you go away 😊Xx
Thank you. They'll be six of us in Dublin and then just four of us head south to Kinsale xx
Great video Helen! Thank you - I'm sure all of us will be re-examining our closets!
Me included! xx
No1. White . Is gorgeous ! I will try this one myself.
Love all of the white skirt combo's.
Thank you for all of your hard work Helen, and tell Dolly I enjoyed her input 😂😂 🌹🌹
I will and thank you xx
You look gorgeous in all the outfits Helen ❤
Thank you very much xx
Really enjoyed this Video. Yes you can pack less clothes and make everything work. One time I went to Jamaica and packed two pairs of nice trousers..three tops..one bathing suit and a little jewelry and some PJs.and some sandals. . It worked out really well and I was not spending any time at all worrying about my clothes. I visited with a stylist before I went and she really helped me pack light. Give it a try on your next holiday.
Sounds fabulous xx
Thank you for this video. I think my favorites are the cashmere sweater with the skirt and that gorgeous cashmere sweater with black jeans and the beautiful scarf...very classy! By the way, I love your heels in the pewter color. 😁
Thank you very much xx
Wow such an inspirational video, we don't need all those clothes in our wardrobe(s) do we, just the basics in a couple of colours. Dolly made me laugh and made my dogs bark, at one point she was looking at you as if she was saying are you talking to me!
She should be used to it by now, but I think she does get confused... haha xx
More room for Rob in the case now 😂❤
Err No! haha xx
Great challenge..hope you do more like this😊
Thank you, I will bear it mind xx
Thank you for all the effort and hard work you put in to this, Helen. Fascinating to see what you achieved. I'm going to try it! x
It really does focus the mind xx
HBThat was great to see and aspire to. I’ve never heard of it but so pleased to see it. For me a bag doesn’t really shake it up. Be great for Ryan air restrictions. Incidentally I’m getting married a week on Saturday!xx
Oh wow, congratulations! Have a really fabulous day! xx
Wow! This was excellent Helen- thank you for sharing! Brilliant idea!
Everything looked gorgeous on you!😊❤x
Love all the items that you chose for the 333
Thanks so much 😊 XX
Helloo Helen! The pale blue-aqua color in the overview/intro sparks your eyes so beautifully! That color is for you! 🩵
Loved this exercise, especially the creamy white on white look. Black accessories all together to tie together another outfit was also excellent look. My favorites seemed to have this in common. Favorite Skirt looked great! So glad you kept it, and indulged us all 😉 We are quite the chattering fashion critics, what a lot! Especially enjoy it when you preempt ‘commentary’ that you just know is coming with an “I am aware that…”😂
Dolly really seemed perplexed at what was happening in her hall. Perhaps the things hanging and the chair etc., disrupted her usual, haha! It was Cuute! Love your patience with her, as you waited it out. Pig’s ear was the best solution at the end.
Alway!
Thank you very much xx
Thank you Helen,
What an amazing idea ..
Will definitely be doing this in future xx
Brilliant, thank you xx
Great video - certainly some good ideas on mix and match - everything looked so ‘smart’ even the casual day looks . Can you remind us - if you can recall where you got the coated black jeans from and what ‘style’ the denims were please . I’m a 16 but only 5’1” so some skirts/ dresses you show are lovely but I would be falling a*** over head!!😂thanks again love your stuff - alway contain a giggle or two 👍👍🙄
Thank you. This pair are from Next, these are similar: www.next.co.uk/style/ST644299/556020?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwz42xBhB9EiwA48pT70om1mtYTxkDZldYaKn9C3mR0Yg4LnZa4xzJYtBWinNJ1bLuI2tELxoC8_8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#556020 but I also have a pair from M and S, though they don't have any at the moment. xx
Love all the different combinations it's amazing how different an outfit can look with just one change..that skirt is so nice ❤
Thank you very much xx
Really love this video; thank you so much (I will keep it in my ‘save’ folder for future reference) ! ❤
Lovely xx
I loved all the combinations. You have such a good eye for accessorising etc. Thanks Helen x
Oh thank you! xx
Hi Helen, thanks for the fashion show some great ideas especially all the white outfits. Love dolly she’s beautiful. Xxx
Ah, thank you xx
Lovely dovely . It's amazing how many styles we can actually get out of, just a few items.
It is, thank you for watching xx
