Period. 2357564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! Just saw this request! I use it occasionally. Always just for fun. Still, sometimes it surprises me with a really interesting combination from my wardrobe that shakes up my tried-and-true pairings. I suspect that the more work a person does to input their finds, the better luck they have with it as an outfit generator.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357464 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 18:32:38 +0000 Ket 2357464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually forgot about it, mostly because I never tried uploading any of my wardrobe. I spent the last hour uploading my wardrobe to "Finds" so I could play. I didn't upload all of my handknit sweaters and scarves, nor any of my shoes and handbags. The ROG actually plugged footwear and bags in for me. (Well done, ROG.)</p> <p>I really loved a lot of the ideas it gave me. My only disappointment? It doesn't include dresses in the mix. Everything I got was a topper, blouse, and bottom, plus shoes and bags.&nbsp;I can see that it might be difficult to code dresses into the mix, so no harm or foul. But I would have loved to have seen my 12+ dresses thrown in there. On the flipside, it's a dress. Throw a topper on it and it's done. Maybe dresses would be superfluous.</p> <p>Some find the outfits nonsensical. I actually&nbsp;found ROG got my creative&nbsp;juices going. Often I paid more attention to the general formulas and lines rather than the specific recs. Sometimes too it made me think of another outfit or piece I owned and gosh... wouldn't it be cute to replace X with Y?&nbsp;</p> <p>Many of the recs wouldn't be entirely practical for the 6 months of winter we get here, unless I switch out shoes when arriving at destinations. But otherwise, I enjoyed playing with it and can see revisiting it again in the near future.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357382 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 00:38:28 +0000 Janet 2357382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I confess I’ve never used it. When I just tried it now, I got completely nonsensical ensembles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357307 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 15:56:11 +0000 Carla 2357307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ROG makes me think outside the box with regards to combinations - especially colour combinations. Pretty much everything in my closet is in Finds, so I use that data bank for outfit combos. &nbsp;</p> <p>I generated the outfit below, and it solved a problem for me - I’m trying to wear the cream version of my Uniqlo lightweight puffer instead of always defaulting to the golden-beige one. &nbsp;A couple rolls of ROG provided some variations. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357295 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 13:48:03 +0000 Angie 2357295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your thoughts :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357293 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 13:45:28 +0000 Jules 2357293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No practical entire outfits coming up yet, but it hadn't occurred to me to put this sweater with these pants, and I will now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357282 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 13:02:06 +0000 ChristelJ 2357282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Bluejay said.

Sometimes it is a little TOO random to be practical, but it's always fun to see the combinations. I especially like the feature that allows you to pretend to be someone else. There are quite a few members whose wardrobes I envy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357280 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 12:30:47 +0000 Jules 2357280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only got my newer items into finds recently and had totally forgotten about it - so I’m excited to go play a bit! </p> <p>MsMary, I would love to see that outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357274 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 11:59:57 +0000 April 2357274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had totally forgotten the ROG post! I ran it just now and got items I no longer wear: shorter skirts, satchel bag, v-neck. The one exception: a leather moto jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>This reminds me to assess my leather jackets. There is one that needs to go because of gold hardware and being too big. It was a gift from Mr. A so I have dragged my feet on passing it along.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357273 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 11:53:54 +0000 Sisi 2357273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My wardrobe is not loaded therefore I do not use Outfit Generator regularly but it is something I would like to do.&nbsp; Sometimes I click on it&nbsp; just for fun: it comes up with certain combinations I would never think of and its seasonally confused outfits amuse me a lot. I think it is a brilliant, helpful and funny tool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357269 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 11:24:36 +0000 Dee 2357269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did a post on using the outfit generator back about 6 months ago and at that time I had only inputted a small portion of my wardrobe in “finds” mostly from the same season. I also noticed that I had to manipulate a few items in their respective categories in order to get them to be understood as ‘toppers’ &nbsp;so I could create a total outfit. Sometimes the results were odd but often I got some really good results to try, which I demonstrated in that post.</p> <p>As <b>Suz</b> suggested, I think adding some type of seasonal filter with the generator would be great now that I’ve added even more items for several different seasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357267 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 11:18:28 +0000 Suntiger 2357267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only look at it if someone posts the link, cause I'm not sure how to access it from my phone. Agreeing it could be useful if it could be sorted by season or capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357256 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 05:06:43 +0000 Anonymous 2357256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I play with it when I need to be inspired to get dressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357240 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 02:58:25 +0000 avicennia 2357240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh — I remember this!

The outfits it generates are always outlandish but I am an optimist and keep thinking some day it has to come up with a winner.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357234 Mon, 08 Apr 2024 00:33:00 +0000 Jaime 2357234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I have not undertaken the daunting task of digitizing my wardrobe I have never used it, but imagine it would be fun for just the reasons described above - to reshuffle the deck and let you see things you might not have seen before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357232 Sun, 07 Apr 2024 23:26:01 +0000 Suz 2357232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to play around with it a bit but the outfits are too often seasonally confused for me. If I could add a seasonal filter, I'll bet it would prove quite useful and fun! But I imagine that might be complicated to program -- you'd have to identify each item in your closet as warm or cool weather or all-season.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357231 Sun, 07 Apr 2024 23:15:05 +0000 LaPed 2357231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to play around with it when I was on a laptop more often. Now I’m almost always accessing the site on a smartphone and don’t see an easy way to access the ROG without switching to tablet/laptop view. So I hadn’t thought about this feature in a long time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357230 Sun, 07 Apr 2024 22:45:21 +0000 BlueJay 2357230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As MsMary's examples show, sometimes the outfit generator comes up with some really interesting combinations that I otherwise wouldn't have put together myself, but really work! Yes, sometimes the outfits are seasonally confused, or don't work because of physics, such as a blazer layered over a big fluffy sweater. I do like tension in outfits such as runners with a skirt and t-shirt, or jeans with a blazer. </p> <p>I don't necessarily need more clothes, but more creative ideas for the clothes I already own and that's why I play with the outfit generator. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357228 Sun, 07 Apr 2024 22:33:04 +0000 Anonymous 2357228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sparks my creativity especially regarding pieces I put together. Thank you for creating such a useful tool.<br /> It helps when shopping to remind me that I can not create a column of say…,, peridot green since I have no bottoms that color. Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357227 Sun, 07 Apr 2024 22:04:30 +0000 MsMary 2357227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oof! Look at this! And I still have these pieces! Don't tempt me, Outfit Generator. Don't tempt me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357226 Sun, 07 Apr 2024 22:03:06 +0000 MsMary 2357226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, I hadn't tried it in years but I just popped over and after playing around for a while, my favorite was this! Maybe a little seasonally confused, and okay the only item I still own is the pink glitter Keds (8 years old and going strong!), but... I think it kind of works and I still had the pieces I would give a go, minus the yellow straw bag!</p> <p>At this point it's mostly a fun trip down memory lane to see pieces I used to wear and love but have passed on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-random-outfit-generator-info-please#post-2357225 Sun, 07 Apr 2024 21:09:24 +0000 Angie 2357225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Fabbers,&nbsp;</p> <p>Surprisingly, all these years later, many people continue to use the YLF Random Outfit Generator - which was way ahead of its time, and an April Fool's post in 2015 :)</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2015/04/01/new-feature-random-outfit-generator/">https://youlookfab.com/2015/04.....generator/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/random-outfit-generator/?source=wardrobe&amp;user=&amp;gender=women">https://youlookfab.com/random-.....nder=women</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>Greg and I would like to know, why you continue to use it, and what about it tickles your fancy, or is helpful in any way.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's very interesting to us :)</p> <p>Thank you! xo </p>
