How to Create a Personal Clothing Database

How to Create a Personal Clothing Database



A great way to keep track of your clothes and keep yourself well-dressed at the same time is to sort through your closet, have a personal fashion show and record each outfit with your digital camera. This personal fashion show often results in clothing combinations that might never have thought of before. It helps to have a good friend with you, it can make it more fun, just never ask them, "Does this outfit makes me look fat?"







Things You'll Need:





digital camera



computer



a good friend (otional)









Step
1



Pull all of your clothes out of your closet and organize by season, then by color and by the type of clothing, pants, tops, blouses, sweaters etc.
Start to think about which pieces go together well. Experiment here, lay outfits out, or hang them together. Layer pieces to give yourself as many options as possible. One suit jacket might go with multiple pairs of pants that match lots of different blouses. This means your closet is expanding, and your not spending a penny!




Step
2



Start to try on each outfit and have your friend take a digital picture of each one. Remember how easy it is to take multiple pictures on a digital camera. This is how the professionals work, they take lots of shots, many get deleted and only the best make it to your digital portfolio. You're starting to feel like a model at this stage.




Step
3



Once you have all your photos in your digital camera you have a few options. You can stay digital and create a personal portfolio (slideshow) using software such as picasa from Google or Microsoft Powerpoint. Another good way is to print out the pictures and place them in an album to keep in your closet. On those sleepy mornings when you don't know what to where, you can flick through your album and start to feel like that model in no time.







Tips & Warnings









To look your best have a personal spa night the day before.








Take pictures of all your shoes and add the photo to each outfit that they match.
