I do it all the time by creating Collections.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769542 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 11:00:54 +0000 Chris987 1769542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the comments everyone. </p> <p>Joy, I love YLFs finds too, and use the collection feature often. I'll stick with that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769541 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 10:59:28 +0000 Style Fan 1769541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once again I am sending a big thank you to Angie for her work on YLF.&nbsp; The ensemble posts are so visually appealing and I had no idea how difficult they were to put together.&nbsp; <br />Thank you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769531 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 10:08:06 +0000 Anonymous 1769531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tried using polyvore. &nbsp;It was so difficult! &nbsp;<u>I thought it was me</u>. &nbsp;Perhaps I was missing some critical knowledge or intellect. &nbsp;It is a relief to me to hear it is the program.</p> <p>Thank you Angie for your labour of love. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769524 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 09:42:11 +0000 Sisi 1769524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I did not know it was such a&nbsp; fuss. As Chris says, I like it visually.&nbsp;I thought that it was easy to use for more-technologically-advanced- people-than-me. But it seems it is not so. Rest assured, Angie, &nbsp;that I&nbsp;very much appreciate your labour ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769500 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 05:56:20 +0000 Emily K 1769500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank goodness Angie acknowledged that it is difficult to use Polyvore because I thought I just needed to put in more time to establish fluency. &nbsp;I feel like I can quit trying, now.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769489 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 04:36:20 +0000 Anonymous 1769489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer using YLF's Finds feature to put together capsules. They may not have the collage effect of Polyvore but everything that you want to include can be in one place and you can add photos that only you can see plus lots of information about the pieces that you include. Thank you, Angie and Greg! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769467 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 02:05:05 +0000 Barbara Diane 1769467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thanks for putting all that work into it. I do love the posts, but that sounds awful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769465 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 02:01:07 +0000 Carla 1769465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I have a whole new appreciation for your work, and also the work of other Polyvore set makers. They are so visually appealing. It is a tragedy that it is so hard to use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769451 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 01:23:02 +0000 Style Fan 1769451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I gave up on it.&nbsp; I am pretty good at figuring things out but not that.&nbsp; I do love the Ensemble Posts.&nbsp; They are the highlight of my week.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769325 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:05:04 +0000 LaPed 1769325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto everything Angie says. The selection is terrible, which renders it more or less useless for actual wardrobe planning. The search functions are not very, uh, functional.</p> <p>I tried to use it to brainstorm a work capsule for my husband in 2015, gave up in frustration and haven't been back since. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769320 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 17:34:58 +0000 gradfashionista 1769320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking about this same question yesterday, because many items aren't listed on Polyvore. I hear that people use Adobe Elements to manually make a collage, but Polyvore is probably less time consuming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769319 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 17:32:40 +0000 Chris987 1769319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. In this day and age there is no excuse for the issues you state. Sounds like they need to hire Greg to clean up their system; ylf does not suffer from any of those issues at least Not from a user perspective Thanks and I will definitely remember your labor of love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769317 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 17:22:22 +0000 Angie 1769317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't enjoy using Polyvore at all. It's a mare, actually. Chris. Bad user interface, bad photo quality, limited, and very, very time cosuming. The only reason I continue with it is because the ensemble posts are extremely popular on YLF and FB, and I can EVENTUALLY get a decent visual together that allows our readers to see clothes <b>off </b>a body. (That's very important). I would happily never use Polyvore again though. I hope people appreciate that the ensemble posts are my labour of love to YLF!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-like-using-polyvore#post-1769301 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 16:07:39 +0000 Chris987 1769301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I've been thinking of playing around with Polyvore and wonder if you (or anyone else who has tried it) could comment on what you like or don't like about it. I LOVE &nbsp;the way&nbsp;it displays capsules in an almost cartoonish way, it makes the outfits so easy to visualize. I also know you have to live with the specific clothing choices that are available and can't add your own "finds". </p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Chris</p>
