Maybe you have a different app? I downloaded a free app a yeat ago (I think it was called My Closet) but it is garbage compared to Stylebook. It's totally worth the $4. But the igger investment to consider is the time inputting all oyur clothes and whetehr it would be worth it for you. Because I am highly visual and have a large wardrobe, it helps me see, manage and enjoy my stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-1855315 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 03:07:50 +0000 Laura G 1855315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's $4 US, maybe used to be free? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-1855298 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 02:14:38 +0000 Anonymous 1855298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m confused .

I'm very much a visual person. Lists and spreadsheets do little for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe#post-1852468 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 14:05:32 +0000 Elizabeth P 1852468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling... absolutely!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe#post-1852457 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 13:42:46 +0000 LaPed 1852457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the last time I checked Stylebook was not available for Android, only iOS. Has that changed?&nbsp;</p> <p>Smittie -- I think wardrobe cataloging helps more for people who are visual thinkers, which I am not. I've never gotten into Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, etc -- any of the image-based platforms -- because scrolling through an endless stream of images is just so exhausting to me. I much prefer lists and spreadsheets -- I'm a word person through and through. I'm also really lazy about taking pictures -- I usually do it when I'm getting rid of an item (to sell on eBay etc) not when I've just acquired it. Taking and organizing photos feels like such a chore, in a way that managing a spreadsheet does not.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe#post-1852449 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 12:07:30 +0000 Janet 1852449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roxanna, those are really helpful reasons. I am not big on strict numbers or tracking, since I have a lot. And unlike The Cat, my brain obviously can't hold onto all that information as well as I thought it could, because more than once while looking through old photos, I've found an outfit I completely forgot I wore!&nbsp;</p> <p>I also have gotten away from Pinterest -- I hate how flooded my feed has become with suggested and sponsored pins. I like the idea of having a place to put inspirations that is not dependent on Pinterest. I do think it could be fun (and a substitute for shopping) to try outfits and combinations with the app, instead of pulling things out of the closet. I can also see how helpful it could be for getting insight into what is and isn't worn frequently.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the recommendation and info! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe#post-1852431 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 09:58:56 +0000 Style Fan 1852431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stylebook sounds like it works great.&nbsp; I use Finds for favourite outfits.&nbsp; There are places to put favourite outfits and packing lists.&nbsp; I can also add things like make up etc.</p> <p>I checked Stylebook out awhile ago and it doesn't work on Windows.&nbsp; That may have changed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe#post-1852430 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 09:39:00 +0000 Anonymous 1852430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a lot to learn. &nbsp;Right now, I am adding pictures of items worn each day/creating outfits/placing in calendar. &nbsp;I love visuals. &nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for introducing it to me, <b>Elizabeth</b>. &nbsp;Thank you for reminding me to buy it, <b>Roxanna</b>. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'll have questions. &nbsp;May I reach out to you or Elizabeth? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe#post-1852398 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 04:54:24 +0000 Archer 1852398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I record a capsule eg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe#post-1852397 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 04:38:51 +0000 Archer 1852397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is engaging about Stylebook is playing with your own wardrobe conceptually and not having to try on etc. I use the find a V similar image search too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe#post-1852346 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 21:43:09 +0000 Anonymous 1852346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bought it. &nbsp;Going to use <b>Elizabeth</b>'s advice and just input the outfit I am wearing that day. &nbsp;On weekends, I'll do more.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe#post-1852342 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 21:09:01 +0000 The Cat 1852342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just use my brain/memory for things like these.

You can ABSOLUTELY create a <i>Custom Find</i> with a "ready to go" online photo. Just like Roxanna has done it, and<b> Emily</b> has suggested.&nbsp;</p> <p>Unfortunately, you cannot use the Finds feature on your phone (yet). Greg has a very demanding full time job, and has close to zero time for anything else.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know it's daunting representing your wardrobe online - but it is SOOOO worth it if you persevere with the leg work. Once it's online, it's very easy to update and navigate.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not into counting wears, doing spreadsheets -&nbsp;(accept when it comes to my budget) -&nbsp;or planning much of my wardrobe on paper. <i>But having my wardrobe visually represented online has become indispensable to me.&nbsp;</i>The Finds feature is a brilliant tool, and I bless it daily.

I switch willy-nilly between laptop, phone, and tablet, depending on what’s at hand. Now I use ClosetSpace, which isn’t as feature-rich as Stylebook, but allows me to do outfit tracking quickly on any device. It really comes down to which features you want from your software, and what’s most important to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe#post-1852254 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 13:53:43 +0000 Elizabeth P 1852254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, if you do decide to get going on it, start by photographing the pieces you wear each day. 4-5 photos, that's it.&nbsp; It doen't matter if it's a crap photo either, as you can go back and replace the photo later if you want.&nbsp; For example, one of my photos is a shot of my knees.... I just needed to record the capris I dug out for the day.&nbsp; Then when you have time, do a batch here adn there... tees one day, shoes the next.&nbsp; It helps to photograph them on a light or dark background (I spread out a blanket) for quicker editing.&nbsp; I also save an online photo whenever I buy something, I bet you have them already, in your finds.&nbsp; </p> <p>Just trying to say that you don't need to have everything in it to start using.&nbsp; But of course the more you have, the more fun there is to be had!</p> <p>And Lisa, unfortunately it's not a desktop thing.&nbsp; I have it on my ipad, I believe I could share or send it to my phone, but I like the larger pics for this.&nbsp; I'm also don't think if you had it on two devices, if it would update on both.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe#post-1852250 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 13:41:48 +0000 Janet 1852250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I kind of love the idea of Stylebook, especially since I often forget specific looks that I enjoyed wearing until I run across a random WIW photo that I took. So I like that aspect of the app. But I have a large wardrobe, and I fear the task of getting it all into the app would be daunting. I wish there were a trial version so I could give it a whirl without paying for it right off the bat. But I guess $4 isn't a bad gamble.</p> <p>Finds are really helpful! It would be great if they could be saved into outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/using-stylebook-to-manage-my-wardrobe#post-1852247 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 13:37:31 +0000 Anonymous 1852247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah - I've been takings pics from any source I can find for my clothes - and saving them to my desktop for loading into a post when needed.
