As a new year's resolution, I've been taking pictures every time I need to get dressed to leave the house (work, socials, errands). 1) it helps to see what I'm wearing, how often, to where. 2) it has forced me to go for something "new" as in, I haven't worn these pieces together. 3) I can see how it looks. 4) I'm getting more creative with what I already own. It has been a great exercise to cut down my shopping and wear all that I own. Most of the time, I enjoy what I'm wearing.

I've done something similar this year, too! I uploaded pictures of my clothes to one of those wardrobe tracker apps (Acloset in my case), and I've been logging my outfits everyday. Doing so has really helped me realize what I'm wearing vs neglecting, and it's amazing to see what items gets the lowest cost per wear and why

@grazsts3005 Жыл бұрын

@mrchlorophyll4950 Жыл бұрын

@@grazsts3005 Sure! There are "wardrobe-tracking" apps that you can download (some are payed like Cladwell, others like Acloset are free) that can help you not only see all of the pieces you own in one place, but can also allow you to track daily outfits, see how many times you've worn a given item (the apps automatically calculate cost-per-wear, too!), see which pieces in your wardrobe are being worn less frequently, etc. Like I mentioned I use Acloset (I saw another KZfaqr "with Wendy" organize her wardrobe with it), and the app has a function that allows you to take photos of your clothes, and then the app automatically removes the background. What you're left with is a "packshot" of your piece, and you repeat the process until you've uploaded all of your pieces into the app. Then you can log daily outfits by combining the pieces together, and you can also get some ideas on how to style certain pieces (via randomly generated outfits). It's a really useful tool. Like you, I was photographing my outfits for some time but found that I would forget to take a picture some days and that it was tough to identify trends and see just how much I was using certain items. These apps are also really useful in instances when you're contemplating buying a new piece; you can add the piece into the app, and then make outfits and see if the piece would be a good fit for your wardrobe. Hope this helps!

I was missing basics for layering & also had no budget for them. My mom took my list, found 3 perfect mock neck tops at thrift stores & 2 crew necks in all the neutrals. Why do they look so chic, is it the layering? I cannot believe I am loving brown, but glad it suits me & seems fresh somehow. You don't know these things until you try to stretch your wardrobe & do the work for yourself. Thanks Lydia!

As I was packing for a holiday, I followed your advice about taking pics of my outfits. I tried on every outfit, complete with shoes and jewelry, and captured the look on my phone. This was incredibly helpful!! While I was on holiday I didnt need to waste any time trying on clothes. I just reached for my pre-planned outfits. I felt great about my looks during the entire holiday, looked good in all my photos, and received compliments!

I sussed my style aged 13. Made my own clothes with Paris Originals patterns. Pure class, even if I say so. Now age 70, still wear classics. I have a huge wardrobe/s. Use it all. Have matching everything. Acquired over a 60 year period. Still in style and happy to say I get constant compliments. Look after your wardrobe shoes/boots and scarves and jewelry. I will last forever.

Though I don’t have the budget like I used to for clothing, I’ve been able to slowly build something that works…all from your awesome advice!!! Thank you for keeping my style unique (leggings and hoodies are just not me) and timeless so I can get the most out of my pieces! You are the BEST ❤

Your understanding of fashion, craftsmanship, and fit is exquisite.Thank you for helping me realize it is the winter base layer that I’m missing in my combination. Comfort and feel is the first drivers of my outfit planning- sensory is a thing for me- I’ll change my clothes over and over if something doesn’t feel right- it’s too tight or too baggy, a bunching sock, sliding panties, itchy tag, or annoying bra strap; so I try to give myself a bit more time to dress, it’s a good investment for a feel good day 💃🏻 consider donating the ill fitting items to simplify

You'r right dressing is daunting. Never thought about it before but when it comes to dressing I am lazy, at times it can be exhausting.

Great video. as always

Hey Lydia! What a helpful video this was. Thank you for the conversation regarding putting in the work and taking pictures of your outfits. I’ve done that in fitting rooms but I should do that when trying to put together outfits at home too. Growing up I was always told i dressed nice but I do find myself having difficulties putting together clean, effortless, comfortable looks which I like. I guess I never realized all of the behind the scenes effort that it takes.
