‘Stylebook’ Lets You Shop Your Own Closet
If you number yourself among the fashion obsessed, then chances are pretty good that you’ve got a closet space so jam packed with clothing that putting together a creative and stylish outfit every morning can be something of a trial. As you dig through piles of clothing is search of the perfect scarf to compliment your ensemble or the right pair of trousers to match your cardigan, you may start to wonder if the pursuit of fashion is really worth all the hassle. In short, the passion you had when you started building your wardrobe may have faded to the point that putting effort into your appearance has become more of a chore than a single-minded joy. Luckily, there is an app for that. And if you’ve long longed for a program that could help you to put together a virtual look in a snap so that all you have to do is grab the pieces and throw them on, you cannot pass up the Stylebook application for your iPhone.
For only $3.99, the amount you might pay for your morning cuppa Joe at Starbucks, you can have an app with the potential to save you time and money, not to mention daily stress. The functionality is both comprehensive and simple to navigate. You’ll start by populating the “closet” with images of your own clothing. Add tops, pants, dresses, and other items of clothing, along with all of your favorite accessories, including shoes, handbags, jewelry, hats, sunglasses, and more. And don’t forget that you can create custom categories to organize as you see fit. Once you’ve managed to input your entire wardrobe, the fun really starts.
The editing features allow you to isolate each garment from the background in the pic you snapped, and once you’ve done so you can start grabbing individual pieces and putting them together in a photo spread to create you favorite “looks”. This feature allows you to add unlimited pieces, so you don’t have to stop with just the foundations of your ensemble; you can pile on jewelry and other extras to really create a polished look that allows you to grab and go. But it gets even better. Once you’ve created a ton of looks you can populate your calendar so that you know exactly what you’re wearing for the week or even the month. This is great if you’re planning a trip or if you just want those few extra minutes of shut-eye in the morning that you might otherwise spend in front of your open closet.
Of course, that’s not all you can do. You can also search your closet for specific colors, fabrics, and so on to complete a look, and you can share your looks via Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr (or email) in order to get feedback from family and friends. And for those days when your outfit just isn’t working, you can create an inspiration library filled with cool ideas to get your creative juices flowing, or simply go online via ShopStyle to peruse the wares offered by more than 7,000 affiliated retailers. When you think about it, you spend a lot of time in pursuit of beauty, sifting through reviews on sites like Epilator Central in search of the perfect hair removal product, or flipping through fashion magazines in order to learn about the latest trends in cosmetics and clothing. Considering how much time Stylebook stands to save you, this is one handy app that you shouldn’t think twice about downloading.
