I adore crunching outfit numbers too. It's fun to see CPW whittle down, down, down. And when a closet is full of items that fit and are enjoyed it's easy to own less of them, because every one of them is a home run. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule/page/2#post-836419 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:42:06 +0000 Ingunn 836419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much fun! I love your clear sense of style and all the combinations you can make from your pieces. The app sounds interesting, too:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule/page/2#post-836347 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:41:36 +0000 lyn* 836347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should mention that there's been a ton of improvements to the app since I've started using it! </p> <p>One of the annoying things is you can't delete clothes that are in outfits but aren't in your closet anymore.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule#post-836325 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:33:12 +0000 Elizabeth P 836325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all that info Lyn. For $4, I just might give it a try... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule#post-836295 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:13:25 +0000 lyn* 836295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Elizabeth, I've used it for about 2 years now, and it was a bit of work to set up. These are the ways I cheat:</p> <p>1. the biggest time waste is photographing every item. NO ONE HAS THAT KIND OF TIME ON THEIR HANDS. I just went online and found the item on a plain background and stole that image. You can upload pics that way. I keep a file on my computer of these images just in case.</p> <p>2. I keep my 'virtual' closet very trim - to the stuff I am going to wear or plan on wearing. Nothing out of season goes into my 'current' folder.</p> <p>3. I make a habit of plotting out my outfits either before I go to bed or first thing in the morning.</p> <p>I think it's interesting to have two years of outfits. They also crunch stats for you. </p> <p>Did you know that my #1 most used item in my closet is my Fossil watch? It's CPW is down to 10 cents. I have worn it on 479 days and in 418 different outfit combinations. </p> <p>In terms of items new this year, my leather boots win out; worn 117 days in 97 outfits with a CPW of $0.46. </p> <p>I am kind of techy and like numbers like that! :D</p> <p>My 10 most worn items are:<br /> * Accessory (Fossil Watch)<br /> * Purse (Fossil Fold over)<br /> * Black Tights (not the same pair!)<br /> * Leather Boots (Born)<br /> * Call Bag (So sad)<br /> * Work Bag (So sad)<br /> * Accessory (Earrings; tear drops)<br /> * Accessory (Skinny leather belt; brown)<br /> * Accessory (Sparkily pretty earrings!)<br /> * Accessory (Pearl drop earrings) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule#post-835847 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 12:33:31 +0000 Elizabeth P 835847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, just out of curiosity, do you find that app useful? Or is it just a fun thing to play with? </p> <p>it strikes me as something that could just be a huge time waster, getting it set up, using it as it seems to be intended, etc. But I do like the idea of using it to help style a few items that don't get worn much, or to help be creative when you just don't feel like it. </p> <p>Love your thoughts... I love techy toys like this </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule#post-835735 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 07:27:18 +0000 goldenpig 835735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing how many combos you can make out of so few items! Great capsule and inspiring wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule#post-835726 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 06:48:14 +0000 lyn* 835726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great point; rachylou - just because something CAN be combined does't mean it should be (har har har) - although I don't see any combinations that are quite outrageous ... maybe the cobalt blazer and a magenta skirt? </p> <p>:) I also love playing with my clothes this way; so much less wear and tear from putting them on and off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule#post-834943 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:11:56 +0000 jayne 834943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, great analysis. I love playing with my clothes this way ( i use an android app). But I have no where near your disciplined clear style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule#post-834891 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 19:37:45 +0000 rachylou 834891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It just looks so cool, to see it all laid out! I'm interested to hear how you actually like wearing each combo. Like, are all 20 of equal value and wearability? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule#post-834808 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:43:01 +0000 lyn* 834808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol @ Manidipa - I don't think that will work; I'm already scheming to see what else I can add! And one of the dresses was a maybe buy to see if I can make it work with what I have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule#post-834768 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:08:31 +0000 cheryl 834768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this!

It's really hard when they are all in on hangers and I never seem to have the stamina to get it all out but I could do it piecemeal. What a great selection you have when you see it like this. Can you tell me again, what the app is that you use. I think you said it was an iPhone one that you down loaded to you iPad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule#post-834331 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:06:52 +0000 Archer 834331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi lyn, what a great way to see what you have too.

Once i worked for two months in an office where as a consultant i was a bit of an outsider, and I started excel tracking my outfits, In 60 days i did not repeat but once and it was deliberate :). After i stopped tracking them ( moved to anoter more pleasant workplace) , I am sure I worn much less combos and started repeating more.<br /> Good luck with your mixing. Do you use any app to help you with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule#post-834324 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 08:07:53 +0000 Adelfa 834324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how much color you've put in to your capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-my-20-piece-capsule#post-834319 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 07:44:10 +0000 carolbee 834319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thats great Lyn, a good reminder to me to not get too carried away with new items, I have enough to make plenty of combos too. Looking forward to seeing some of your outfits. </p>
