Do you or your clients use closet apps? What's your take on these?

I use the YLF Finds feature to organize my shopping process and wardrobe, and we are expanding the feature to include some of the functionality that you find in those sorts of apps.

None of my clients use closet apps - I guess they rely heavily on me. *smiling*. But some of our forum members use closet apps quite extensively. I'm sure they can give you their take.

I have discovered I'm too lazy. What I post here... that's as good as it gets. But for me, that's pretty good. More than individual pieces, I find I value the outfits and the timeline of them.

I'm eager to learn more how YLF can help me to create/remember outfits. Where are you able to see a timeline of outfits? And is this just a timeline of your own outfits or can you see others? I'm thinking I should really start by taking pictures.

I use stylebook. It's great, but it is a bit time consuming to set up. You can track items, outfits, cost per wear, make notes about outfits and items, set up packing lists (which I use to play with capsules a lot). I think you need an apple product to run it though.

Thanks for chiming in Elizabeth. I am contemplating tools/techniques for taking a more thoughtful (and fun) approach to my shopping. Just exploring options. Again, thank you.

Definitely taking pics is the place to start. I put mine all in one folder on my computer, sorted by date, so I can just browse.

...Of course, I regularly have disasters happen. YLF is my only source for seeing all my old outfits before... this past December. Haha! My whole fashion history! Yeah, my car was broken into and I lost my memory sticks.

But anyways, I'll go through WIW threads to see my own past outfits and those of others. Sometimes people do a compilation, bringing things together in one thread.

Rachylou - Thanks for the suggestions. I need to figure out the best way to take pictures. I am hoping to spend some time on this over the next several days. Again, thank you.

I also have Stylebook, and found that it is good for traveling. I like the app more in tablet format than I do in mobile, but both work nicely.

gradfashionista - Hoping to check out this app in the next several days. And tablet format makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

I used to use polyvore, which I do really like, but the mobile app sucks (at least on my lower level windows phone) and I don't have time to mess around on my work PC so now I use nothing...

I am trying to do this on a Powerpoint document. We'll see how much I feel I can achieve in a simple document.

tr3kkie9ri - sorry to hear about the mobile Polyvore app.

If you're interested in using PP you should search for forum member Shiny's post on the subject.

Thanks Meredith- I will definitely check this out. I am on my final day of the membership process (still haven't been able to see pictures yet). It will be a whole new world when I can finally see!

I use My Closet - it also is a bit time consuming to set up, but great at trackign outfits, items of clothing, cost per wear, scheduling outfits in a calendar, categorizing outfits, etc.
