I also use PPT to plan capsules! I have used it for years for travel capsules. In December I started a PPT to focus on work wardrobe planning. But mine is nowhere near as pretty as yours -- I don't have the patience or the eye I guess, to crop/resize etc. And lots of the photos have models wearing the tops, since I buy so much from Ann Taylor. </p> <p>Still, I find it really really useful. It helped me clarify the colors that I prefer and that work best with my wardrobe, which makes it easier for me to resist anything that won't play well and wind up an orphan. It also helped me quickly see the holes -- and that I had a lot of patterns and not enough solids.&nbsp;</p> <p>I find it helps to get in the habit of&nbsp;copying and saving a picture of any item you buy, so you don't have to go searching for it later, when it may no longer be available.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd love to hear how others are using Evernote for this. I use Evernote as my second brain, to track orders/returns/etc, and my wardrobe wish list.&nbsp;But I have not been able to figure out how to resize graphics?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe/page/2#post-1155446 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 02:26:45 +0000 Maribeth 1155446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing with a detailed "How to..."

This is cool Carter! Thank you! Will try when I find some time! I've been snowed in several times this winter -but with schools closed and my demanding 6 year old - I have no time!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1153764 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:47:19 +0000 Marillen 1153764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the tutorial, what a clean and professional-looking board!&nbsp; Now I just need to do a board if only to marvel at my sheer amount of BLUE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1153734 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:05:49 +0000 Greyscale 1153734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great! I've been slowly accumulating images of everything in my closet for my pinterest board, but I get hung up on finding the exact items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1153705 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 23:32:18 +0000 Angie 1153705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever Carter. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1153699 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 23:27:34 +0000 circleskirt 1153699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, as others have said, thanks for this tutorial. &nbsp;I really need to complete an exercise like this to get a true&nbsp;grip on where my wardrobe holes are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1152125 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 15:44:02 +0000 carter 1152125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Liz! Clippingmagic.com is awesome! It took 5-6 minutes to do the blouse below, but I imagine that will get much faster now that I sort of know what I'm doing. Great project for a snowy day! See the results below...not perfect, but pretty darned good! Note that the edited image will be massive (2-3 times the MBs of the original), so you may want to resize to save storage space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1152085 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 14:49:22 +0000 carter 1152085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Liz! I'll play around with it today since we're snowed in for the duration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1152041 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:55:13 +0000 Liz 1152041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For erasing backgrounds, I found clippingmagic.com yesterday through <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-easy-ways-to-remove-backgrounds-from-images-without-specialized-software/">this blog post.</a> It's very easy to use. Just make your changes online and download your edited picture.&nbsp;The results weren't quite clean enough for the graphic I wanted to use in a printing job, but they'd easily be good enough to do a wardrobe layout.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1152038 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:50:07 +0000 carter 1152038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ingunn and Lyn. Hope you give it a shot.</p> <p>Carolbee, you can certainly use pics of your own clothes. Powerpoint will not do a good job erasing the backgrounds though. If you find that your app does a good job erasing backgrounds and allows you to email the clean pics to yourself, I would love to hear about it. I would definitely prefer to use my own clothes, but it made for a messy picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151931 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 05:59:59 +0000 Lyn D. 1151931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your picture board is amazing Carter!<br />It must be so much easier to be able to 'see' all your clothes in the one place.<br />Fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151928 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 05:53:51 +0000 Ingunn 1151928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally want to try this! Like Suz mentioned, I'm not able to erase the background and make collages in Evernote. Thank you for the crystal clear explanation, Carter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151923 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 05:43:43 +0000 carolbee 1151923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for this.&nbsp; I want to try it with a travel capsule to start.&nbsp; This is probably a dumb question but...&nbsp; if I photograph all my clothes for an app I assume I could do this with the photos of my actual clothes rather than searching the internet for pics?&nbsp; If it would take me a few hours to search I may as well spend that time on setting up my app (which I've been planning to do for some time...).</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151876 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 03:54:30 +0000 carter 1151876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're welcome, Shevia and Joy.

Thank you for taking the time to explain it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151864 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 03:36:41 +0000 Jaime 1151864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I wonder if I would actually do this, but I am sure I would be delighted afterward. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151829 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 02:44:43 +0000 carter 1151829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More desperation than genius, MaryK!</p> <p>You're welcome, Lantana.

I'm so happy to not have to set the alarm. I just drew the lines in slides 6 and 8. We'll have to get the Atlanta folks together after the thaw.</p> <p>Thanks, MRL. You're welcome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151827 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 02:42:11 +0000 Lantana 1151827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is brilliant. It really appeals because I'm familiar with PP already.<br />Thanks so much Carter. <br />We are experiencing our second extreme heat wave for the year so I might have "inside" time to muck around with this idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151826 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 02:42:06 +0000 MsMary 1151826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just genius!&nbsp; Thanks so much!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151820 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 02:32:27 +0000 Jewell 1151820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quick question about&nbsp;the separation lines in pics 6 and 8, did you just draw the lines on a blank slide, or did you do&nbsp;something else? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151816 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 02:27:54 +0000 MRL 1151816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really cool. I have always wondered how this is done. I plan to save this as a favorite. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151809 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 02:20:53 +0000 Jewell 1151809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just added this to my Favorites! I'm in the metro Atlanta area with you, and school is closed tomorrow for the "extreme weather conditions" so maybe I'll use some of my extra time to make a board. This looks like a lot more fun than grading papers!</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151724 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 01:01:53 +0000 carter 1151724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're welcome and thank you, Gryffin.</p> <p>You're welcome, softique. Hope you are home, safe and warm!</p> <p>Thanks, Windchime. Hope you have fun with it.</p> <p>Gigi, hope you find what works for you! I'm too old to see much on my phone, so the computer screen works best for me.</p> <p>Susie, you crack me up! Adding the service to website tomorrow! Coming to your house the next day if you're not covered in snow like we are.</p> <p>You're welcome, Suz. I haven't tried Evernote, but I failed miserably at Stylebook. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151691 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 00:22:40 +0000 Suz 1151691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thank you so much for taking up&nbsp;this suggestion! You explained it so very well and your boards make it all look positively simple. I love the way you are able to display the items without backgrounds - it does help clarify the mind somehow.&nbsp;</p> <p>Laughing at Susie's comment, but hey -- it's not a bad idea!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder if some of those phone apps that you can get do something similar? It seems they might. But I like how this way doesn't involve learning all kinds of new software!&nbsp;</p> <p>Ingunn and some others use Evernote in a similar way. But I don't think they can erase the background like this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151667 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 23:44:07 +0000 Susie 1151667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Carter, this is so cool! Your board looks amazing. I'm not sure that I will have the time- or patience- to create&nbsp;one but I would love to have it. Could you please just come to my house and do it for me? :)</p> <p>Hey maybe that could be a selling tool for you...show clients those great walk in closets and tell them if they buy the house, you'll create a wardrobe board for them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151661 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 23:34:49 +0000 Gigi 1151661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome! I'm glad you had time on your hands. What a great way to spend it--helping people. I've been wondering how people do this, and now I know! I will keep this in mind for a possible tool. I'm still thinking about ways to track and organize and think about my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151657 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 23:32:22 +0000 Windchime 1151657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your boards are beautiful! I would like to try this next summer, when I'll have more time. I really appreciate your detailed, helpful explanation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe#post-1151641 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 23:14:53 +0000 Softique 1151641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for taking the time to do this-it's just in the nick of time for me.&nbsp; I'm there with you in the South, blanketed in a bit of snow-fun!&nbsp; </p>
