I didn't know it was just for fun, I find it amusing AND helpful!</p> <p>I use the Finds the same way- I feel like my shopping choices are limited to a few stores, so I love to see what other people are thinking about and what they have discovered. "Hmmm, someone is really into one shouldered looks right now!"</p> <p>My own Finds tend to be items I am considering or items I want particularly love and might want to recommend to others, like Angie's Top Picks. I use Pinterest to track what I actually bought (by year). And a spreadsheet to track the cost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2276724 Fri, 12 Aug 2022 16:40:02 +0000 Zaeobi 2276724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm in regards to planning with your YLF finds, @Angie didn't you create that Random Outfit Generator one year for your April Fool's Day joke post? I can't remember which year it was lol but here:<br /> <a href="https://youlookfab.com/random-outfit-generator/" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/random-outfit-generator/</a></p> <p>There's an option to randomise items only from your own collection, instead of from all over the site. Might be worth a try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2276337 Mon, 08 Aug 2022 18:41:03 +0000 whidbeygirl 2276337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>chewyspaghetti... On YLF on my phone, I have added pictures taken with my phone to my Finds with no problem. &nbsp;I haven't tried going from a website on my phone to adding to Finds. I imagine you could take a screenshot from a website and then add it just like a photo to Custom Finds... but I haven't tried it yet.&nbsp;What I'm hoping is that having my wardrobe items on my phone will be handy for reference when shopping.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275866 Fri, 05 Aug 2022 19:50:54 +0000 whidbeygirl 2275866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LJP ...thanks for the tip. &nbsp;It worked and now that the page is empty the instructions show up that I couldn't see before. &nbsp;Will have to get busy taking some pix of wardrobe...thanks all for the advice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275818 Fri, 05 Aug 2022 15:32:56 +0000 LJP 2275818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just unclick the pink heart beside the find and it will disappear the next time you log in . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275817 Fri, 05 Aug 2022 15:28:57 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2275817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the issue with random things ending up on my finds, too. The main reason that I don't use Finds is that I am almost always on my phone, and you can't add finds. Now that I am not taking any classes, I don't even turn on my computer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275757 Fri, 05 Aug 2022 04:58:41 +0000 whidbeygirl 2275757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks, everyone for all the info and observations about how you're approaching this. &nbsp;I think for me it's more about having a record of what I have rather than tracking wears. As I said, I reach for the familiar too often and would like to experiment more with styling what I have in new ways.....and also knowing what I have when I'm considering a new purchase. &nbsp;Is there a way to delete images that are in FINDS that unwittingly were put in there? &nbsp; just curious.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275731 Fri, 05 Aug 2022 01:17:55 +0000 SarahD8 2275731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>chewyspaghetti</b>, thanks so much for that info, much appreciated!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275717 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 23:46:09 +0000 LJP 2275717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just an aside - I also find random things in my finds . I think it must happen when you look at something someone else has posted and accidentally brush a finger over the heart symbol . </p> <p>I’ve tried both Finds and Stylebook . My on-and-off presence here though over the years means my Finds needed to be recreated each time I set up a new account. I’m no longer motivated enough to build up the collection again - i didn’t use it for anything other than posting here anyways . I always am in awe of those who do use it for planning ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275714 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 22:53:40 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2275714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SarahD8- yes, you can use it without the social aspect. I don't use the social aspect. It used to be more built in to the app, but the most recent update changed it to where you have to seek that part out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275711 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 22:49:47 +0000 Angie 2275711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Whidbeygirl</b>, there is another thread on the forum that<b> Lanie </b>started about the same topic, which you might find helpful:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation-1">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....entation-1</a>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275709 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 22:34:10 +0000 gryffin 2275709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Widbeygirl - I actually love Stylebook. I use the “shop” feature and google to locate stock photos. Then create outfits like below - so you see the pieces but not necessarily as they appear on the body. I have both wardrobe and outfit section. Hey it works for me. It’s rare I need to photo and old piece. But I just do a flat lay on carpet and call it a day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275667 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 16:52:18 +0000 kkards 2275667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>whidbeygirl- its super easy to add custom finds. click into finds &amp; click on "mine". you will see something that says custom finds. click on that, it will bring up what i'm showing in #2. click on the box that says add photo, if you are on a computer navigate to where ever you have saved your photos and double click, if you are on your phone, you have the option to use a photo from your library or to take a photo. i find it easier to have a photo already taken, (or saved from somewhere on the web).</p> <p>i find finds an excellent way to keep track of what i own, but if you are looking for a tracking system or an outfit suggester, finds is not going to be the answer for you. i will also say that if you are starting from scratch with a large wardrobe it can be overwhelming. don't try to get it all into finds in one sitting, give yourself time&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275658 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 16:01:02 +0000 Zaeobi 2275658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also really need to 'upload' my closet at some point (but have been putting it off). So in the interim, I add YLF Finds that aren't an *exact* match to my owned items but with a little note explaining the difference. </p> <p>Hopefully once I stop being so lazy about taking my own photos, I'll be able to properly populate my virtually 'uploaded' closet. But for now, there's this </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275655 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 15:50:47 +0000 SarahD8 2275655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for mentioning Acloset, <b>chewyspaghetti</b> -- I'm intrigued!&nbsp;</p> <p>A while back I was using Stylebook a bit but the overwhelming amount of time that it took to manually erase the background on uploaded pics was a dealbreaker. Great if an AI can do it for me! We'll see how well it fares...</p> <p>One question -- do you know if you can "opt out" of the social aspects of the app? I don't need to see other users' clothes, outfits, etc., but most especially I don't want other people to be able to see mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275648 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 15:27:56 +0000 whidbeygirl 2275648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Runcarla. &nbsp;that's helpful to see what you've done. I hadn't explored all the parts of YLF. &nbsp;I'm assuming under FInds&gt; Mine...is where I collect my items. &nbsp;Interesting there are 2 images there already that I didn't collect...maybe they are meant to be examples. &nbsp;I see some directions under HELP... It wasn't obvious how to upload photos of my own wardrobe but I'll need to spend more time exploring that part of the site. &nbsp;I can see it being especially helpful, as someone mentioned when you're shopping and want to see where a piece might fit in or if you already have something like what you are considering. &nbsp;A good project for another day...soon I hope.&nbsp;</p> <p>And, yes Lanie... I live on Whidbey Island and love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275645 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 15:21:56 +0000 Suz 2275645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use Finds, too, with custom Finds for items from stores that don't support the applet. I like that I can create "capsules" -- show all my footwear for a year, say, or all items in specific colours, or create a travel capsule or track a year's purchases.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Others use various apps on their phones. Some of those track wears and cost per wear, etc. I tried one of the apps at some point but got frustrated with set up and I tend to spend my "fashion" hobby time on YLF so prefer to stick to what is on here...but the others have advantages for certain requirements.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joy,</b> great idea to add outfit pics in Finds -- never thought of that!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275640 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 14:45:51 +0000 Anonymous 2275640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The YLF version allows extra pictures. &nbsp;I use it to include outfits and find that helpful to see how I wore something before. &nbsp;Include footwear and any important accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275634 Thu, 04 Aug 2022 14:24:25 +0000 Lanie 2275634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Whidbeygirl, I'm glad you raised this question too!</div><div>(and I hope your handle means that you live on Whidbey, lucky you!)<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275532 Wed, 03 Aug 2022 22:11:16 +0000 Style Fan 2275532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most of my wardrobe is in Finds.&nbsp; I still have some older custom pieces to add.&nbsp; I don't have all my bags, and jewellery added.&nbsp; I use it to create travel capsules and to track my purchases.&nbsp; I also can see themes and patterns in my wardrobe.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digital-wardrobe-representation#post-2275517 Wed, 03 Aug 2022 21:09:47 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2275517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i use an app called Acloset for my Android phone.

A while ago, I did try photographing for Stylebook(?) but it didn't seem to be very useful for me, and then I tired of taking photos if I wasn't going to use it. &nbsp;I'm not sure what I'm looking for exactly...but would like to be able to mix and match different combo possibilities before getting stuff out of the closet to do it. I tend to reach for what's familiar rather than explore new options with what I have. &nbsp;And how does the YLF &nbsp;Finds function work? &nbsp;I've viewed it but not really figured out.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
