Catching up and a Question about Stylebook

Hello Fabbers!
It has been a long time since I have posted here, but I have been reading the blog and forum posts with interest. I have missed talking to you here.
I have been WFH almost all the time this past year and my style has been, to say the least, stagnating Lots of unworn items, including old favourites, almost no blazers, instead heavy use of my limited lounge wear capsule... I guess it is like that for many people now.
I have not been shopping almost at all. I totally lost interest in shopping and it took a year before I started to feel a bit more "normal" again. It has never happened to me before. I have done some shopping now during March and April - a few scarves, summer trousers and a couple of blouses. I hope I will be up to trying some new outfits soon and share with you.
What I have done, however, was to spend time collecting photos of my wardrobe items and organizing them in my Stylebook App on my Iphone. I have quite a lot of pieces left to organize, but I have now a large part of clothing in the App. What is left is a big portion of accessories. I have quite a large wardrobe in total, and in particular very, very many accessories. It will be interesting to see the ratio, when I am done.
How about you? What is the largest part of your wardrobe?

I have now ordered a new Iphone and wonder if the contents of my Stylebook App will get copied to the new phone when I copy the phone (through Icloud I guess?). I really hope I will not loose all the work. Have you got any experience with how it works? Have you changed phone while you have had Stylebook? Any advice will be much appreciated.

Welcome back, Katerina!

Sooooooo much has gone down in the last 13 months. It's mind blowing. But thankfully hope is on the horizon. Hope you and your tribe are safe and strong!

Yes, items have gone un-worn for year. No problem! They will come back into favour

My own wardrobe and shopping is recorded and managed in YLF Finds, so I don't have Style Book tips for you. I'm sure others will, though. You will love your new iPhone!

YLF has a feisty new employee, and the YLF community has a stylish new member:

I missed you Katerina! I can imagine you're not feeling like creating those lovely blazer outfits to work from home though. Hopefully you can look forward to some kind of resuming normal life later this year...
I have the stylebook app but only since recently so no advice on the cloud thing. I'm not going to upload my accessories to it because they're not essential to my style and because I mainly track entire outfits for easy use (and I switch up my accessories pretty independently from my outfit, especially metal earrings).

Katerina I am really happy that you back. I understand you completely, I felt the same, but I hope it would be better. I don't have Style Book so I'm not helpful. Stay safe.

You won’t have a problem using stylebook on your new phone. Go to the home page and click on Help & Tutorials. All the info you need!

I don’t have stylebook, but I recently got a new iphone. You can copy everything over just by putting the old and new phones near each other and starting setup on the new one. They need to be plugged in & on wifi. I was stunned at how complete the copy-over was.

And it’s good to “see” you again. Your style is so connected to blazers & scarves in my brain that I’d love to see your other outfits.

So nice to hear from you, Katerina! I don’t use Stylebook, but over the Christmas holidays I put my wardrobe into Finds. My collection of clothes and accessories is on the modest size. The biggest part of my closet is tops - around 24 different shirts, sweaters, t-shirts, etc. With regards to accessories, to be honest, I’ve developed a bit of a ‘thing’ matching face masks to outfits. Since I am sewing masks (3-4 dozen per month) for charity, it is easy to make one up when I fall for a new fabric pattern! I have a dozen or more!

I did pick up a new Italian silk scarf last year, and I just adore it! (See Find below)

Missed you, Katerina! I have no Stylebook tips, but I'm delighted you are feeling a bit better. I certainly hear you on the pandemic fashion slump. For me, it was a year of gear, as I spent more time outdoors hiking etc. and much less in my beloved blazers. But things will change again!

Hello old friend,it’s great to hear from you again.l do have Stylebook but it’s on my iPad and l haven’t had cause to transfer it yet so lm afraid that l can’t help you.It sounds like you need the help of a teenager!

For a person who doesn’t wear tees - that’s the largest part of my wardrobe! Well, after socks that is

I’m impressed you got anything at all into Stylebook. I downloaded it and promptly abandoned the effort. I have too much!

Hi Katerina, I use stylebook, it is possible to transfer the images to an iphone.

Hello from another Stylebook user! I wish that it had you make an account so that you’d have a login for any device. Instead I believe you have to use the wifi share feature to share your wardrobe with your new phone. That’s how I transfer from my phone to iPad. Still worth it but not as easy as I feel it should be!

Hi Katerina, lovely to hear from you!

Pleased you are well and hope to see some WIW in the near future!

The process Gillian describes is the one I remember. I had to abandon Stylebook when I switched phones, and have since started managing everything here in Finds, which I like even more!

WOOHOOO Notsaf. You just made my day

I'm with you in just repeating loungewear most days, if it's cold out.
I never used Stylebook, but put everything in Finds. Happy to see you again!

Style Fan

It is so good to hear from you, Katerina. I always enjoyed your WIWs. You have such a fabulous style. WFH is much different than going to an office. I am retired, but I have relaxed my style too. I also use Finds. Love it.

Welcome back, Katerina - we've missed your style!

My own style took a slight nosedive not quite at the beginning of the pandemic but rather a few months just before (when we were dealing with political unrest from the HK protests). I'm back at work now though, (HK still has cases but is not in lockdown like other places) so I'm back to commuting & getting fully dressed lol - just wanted to share some encouragement from the other side that there is indeed light at the other end of the sartorial tunnel!

Katerina

Thank you all so very much for the warm welcome back and encouragement. Also, many thanks for the Style book advice.

Angie, Jo is sooo cute and lovely. I am very happy for you to have a new sweet family member. And so fun for us on YLF to get such a fabulous new member! Much love to you!

Carla, your masks are fantastic, what a great and important job you do!
You are amazing! Also, I love the new scarf!

As for the Stylebook, I looked at the homepage - there are instructions indeed, don´t know why I didn´t do it from the beginning

Thanks, Katerina!

We are deprived of spectacular Katerina-style and hope to see you post again soon. Dust off the accessories and blazers

So happy to see you here again, Katerina. We missed our weekly dose of European chic, Escada blazers, big sunglasses and statement scarves I don't use Stylebook, despite having downloaded the app at one point. I do use Finds when posting on the forum . It's convenient.
