Just got back to this thread and I love seeing everyone's outfits all laid out. Thanks for doing that, Carter!

It's really fun to see how everyone's come up with such different and distinctive looks with the same set of pieces. I can especially see Shevia wearing the first outfit she chose.

I haven't read through all the replies yet so I apologize if this has been asked, but how did you DO this?? I mean technically? Is this a program? Jeez. I downloaded a style app but it doesn't look nearly as good as this. Wow.

Hah. Aren't you clever and fun, Carter. I actually meant the white bag, but I love the way you also added the zebra belt. Do keep it just like that. xo

I think I'm up to date on the outfits, so I thought I'd do a quick count to see which items are the most popular. And the winners are:

Shoes #6, moon shoes, starring in 9 outfits (I almost didn't keep these;-))

Blazer #24, black blazer, included in 8 outfits

Pants #33, white ankle pants, included in 8 outfits

Pants #32, plaid ankle pants, included in 7 outfits

Bag #2, black, used in 6 outfits

Bag #6, winter white, used in 6 outfits

Top #6, Black chevron blouse, used 5 times

Shoes #12, black booties, used 5 times

Top #2, black and tan/cream blouse, used 5 times

Runners up at 4 uses each: 22-taupe cardi, 27-skinny jeans, 28-black jeans, shoes 1-nine west loafers.

Outside of belts and scarves, which I didn't include in the count, only 9 items weren't used at all.

I have 30 new outfits to try! And for those of you asking the perennial question, "How much is enough?". We used 28 clothing items, 13 pair of shoes, and 5 handbags. (The count includes the options some folks included.)

ETA: the two outfits in the bottom corners are my interpretations of Unfrumped and ClassicallyCasual's comments on column of color and tonal dressing.

Forgot to reply to JackieC. I use Clipping Magic to get rid of the backgrounds on all my clothes. It's a paid service now, but I pay for it for work anyway. The slides are just done in PowerPoint. I do try to grab images of anything I purchase, because they are more perfect than I can do...you can tell the difference particularly in the pants.

Love your interpretations, Carter. I had no idea playing in someone else's well curated closet could be so much fun.

It's kind of horrifying to imagine what mine would look like on display, even though from day to day I do manage to get dressed, LOL. Much food for thought. Thank you for all the time you've put into this post.

They look good! I'm don't wear a lot of pale neutrals--just a few tops--but if it turns out they look good on you, I have noted that it gives a really different look when I see someone wearing head to toe pales. If you thought it washes you out too much, you might be able to use a darker scarf or jewelry to ground things.

Carter, you've shown us a beautiful, high-quality wardrobe of exquisitely edited neutrals. I find your organizational powers a bit intimidating, and couldn't begin to suggest a better way of putting your clothes together! I do wonder, though, whether your boredom might stem partly from the strictness of your color choices for your professional life. That flash of rosy red top visible in your profile photo really lights up your lovely face. I see a couple of mauve-y scarves in the mix, but can't help wondering whether a few more touches of rose--from light, lavender pink shades to warm watermelon, to deep soft reds--might not give you a lift, especially as the weather cools. A silk shirt, cashmere cardigan, or pair of ballet flats in these colors would look very pretty with all your gray, taupe, off-white and slate blue pieces, I think, without detracting from their elegance. Clearly though, you already know what you are doing!
