I paid for a subscription, so I am no longer using the free version. I cannot say this would work well otherwise.

My current wardrobe has a mix of color seasons, some not quite right, but they have been good placeholders. I thought it would be fun to sort everything into the correct palette. I could do this on my own, but I decided to play and to figure out how to have ChatGPT help with the work.

I laid items on my bed, 8-9 at a time, and took photos. Then I asked ChatGPT items matched my color season. It divided items into three categories. Excellent, bad and borderline. It provided clear reasons why the items fell into each category. For example, for a bad item, it might say it is too warm, too bright, too light and dusty, it will make your look skin look dull, etc: For good items it also provided reasons.For borderline items it offered a pros and cons list and often offered to give ways to style the item to make it work better with my color seasons. The remedies might also include makeup suggestions.

ChatGPT did particularly well delineating items that were on the borderline between being okay and too warm for me. It was definitely better in seeing warm and cool tones in those items where I had a hard time seeing it. For example, some shades of green can skew warmer or cooler, and knowing the line between them was particularly tough for me. The same is true for all colors and some neutrals like grays, whites and taupes. ChatGPT got it right each time based on comparison with my color chips and also when compared with stark white and/or other color references used for this purpose. I grew to trust the assessments, especially because the items it recommended to eliminate were items I rarely wore; I realized I never felt great wearing these items, and it probably was because of the level of warmth or brightness not being ideal. My primary neutral is currently dark navy, which is not ideal, so I pared this down to the items I wear most, and my next step will be to consider what neutral to use as I replace them when they wear out. I also have a ton of gray. When I finished the edit, my closet was much thinner, and also looked much more uniform in the depth and intensity of the tones.

Regarding the makeup. I asked it to look at my favorite mineral makeup and to select some looks based on my coloring. It amazed me that I already owned most of the colors it suggested. Once again, pretty much spot on, I am sure this is not the result everyone would get, however, I am having some good luck here.

Finally, I asked for some help finding new essential tees. My old grey tees are worn out, and in need of replacement, I gave ChatGPT three possible shopping sites and asked for options for a gray tee and it came back with a number of possibilities. I ordered two tees from Mott & Bow. Fingers crossed I will like them. ChatGPT advised I avoid athletic gray. I what that meant and ChatGPT pulled examples from web shopping sites of athletic gray vs the type of gray I should seek.

In all, I culled three bags of clothes from my holding zone and main closet. They will go to DD, her best friend, or giveaway. I wish I had remembered to take a before picture!
