Love the closet/wardrobe analysis threads. I especially like your "make no assumptions" rule...so many times I've been about to give up on something only to discover a formula or YLF inspiration that changes my mind.&nbsp; Sometimes it "saves" the item, or, if even then I don't love it, I'm able to purge it with a clear conscience as I understand why it doesn't work.&nbsp; Can't wait to hear/see your progress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-analysis---step-1#post-1164021 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 21:28:26 +0000 gryffin 1164021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go torontogirl!!&nbsp; Can't wait to read your thoughts as things go along!!&nbsp; Good luck and looking forward to updates!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-analysis---step-1#post-1164010 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 21:15:56 +0000 Sunee 1164010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cleaning out your closet, learning what you look and feel good in is always a good idea. There are currently some services and technologies that can really help. There are multiple virtual closet apps on the market that can help you get &amp; stay organized with scheduled outfits and packing lists. Closetapp.com is my current favorite.<br /> You can also hire an image consultant/ personal stylist / wardrobe consultant to help you clear out clutter and build a system that works for you. </p> <p>I'm currently doing research to create a company that does both of these things for clients. Using a virtual closet we can bring down the cost of having regular access to a stylist who can show you new ways to wear what you already own. You can see the initial concept here as we begin to grow to-love-style.com </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-analysis---step-1#post-1164001 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 21:06:46 +0000 Caro in Oz 1164001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done.&nbsp;I agree with the others - it's the daily photos that made me reconsider my wardrobe &amp; get it to a point where I feel happy with it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-analysis---step-1#post-1163920 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 20:10:55 +0000 Greyscale 1163920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to track what I wear with photos, but I'm finding it very hard to get good photos. My one sunny photo spot is full of boxes right now so I can't use it, and my black clothing acts like a black hole and doesn't show up at all&nbsp;if the lighting is wrong. But this is reminding me to fix that problem somehow.</p> <p>Speaking of red flats, you don't happen to be a size 6, do you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-analysis---step-1#post-1163913 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 20:05:54 +0000 Anonymous 1163913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too have been actively tracking since 1/1/2014. I am a computer geek so I am using an Access database that I created for this purpose- allows me to categorize clothing, create outfits from existing clothing, and create photo links to the outfits. If anyone wants more info, you can PM me. Sadly, I started out small but have now gotten very elaborate- but the upside is the application can deliver a lot of analyzable information. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-analysis---step-1#post-1163911 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 20:04:14 +0000 Suz 1163911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have been tracking more regularly (almost every day) since November 1. I don't know why it took me so long to get on that bandwagon, but it did. In the past I'd do K/R posts, or WIWs for special events or with some new items, and travel capsules. But it's the daily photos (whether or not you show them here) that really do the important work. And asking whether you enjoyed wearing it and how it performed is also great. I've been making lots of discoveries this way.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck and keep us posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-analysis---step-1#post-1163909 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 20:02:42 +0000 Alassë 1163909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will look forward to reading your results! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-analysis---step-1#post-1163902 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:57:59 +0000 Helena 1163902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deb!</p> <p>Susie - a year! Wow. You've really got me determined now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-analysis---step-1#post-1163892 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:54:15 +0000 Susie 1163892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that I've been tracking WIW for almost a year now. It was especially interesting to look back over the last several months and see how many pieces/what pieces I actually wore. </p> <p>Keep us posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-analysis---step-1#post-1163879 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:45:59 +0000 deb 1163879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good start!

I should do this too. Can't wait to see pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-analysis---step-1#post-1163852 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:29:37 +0000 Helena 1163852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, having been more active on the forum of late, you've all really got me inspired to bring some consciousness to my closet!&nbsp;</p> <p>Inspired by Aziraphale's thread (<a rel="nofollow">here</a>), I have started photo'ing and&nbsp;tracking what I am wearing each day, whether I was happy with it through the day,&nbsp;and a few other details.&nbsp;</p> <p>I plan to stick with this for a month, to learn: <ul> <li>what I wore and LIKED and what I didn't like</li> <li>what I didn't even wear</li> <li>any other little revelations I have</li> </ul> To support this little project, I am setting myself some rules: <ul> <li>wear both my go-tos&nbsp;and wallflowers&nbsp;- make no assumptions!</li> <li>no shopping UNLESS&nbsp;I find a holy grail version of one of the following:&nbsp;red flats, a light gray solid scarf, and a fitted black/dark neutral button-up (current items on my "must get" list )</li> </ul> At the end of this project, it will be almost time for a winter purge (fingers crossed!), so this should help - then I'll figure out Step 2! Thanks for letting me drone on here - I figured a public declaration might help&nbsp;keep me on track :D</p> <p> </p>
