STYLISH + COOL





So for those of you out there with the patience and motivation for organization, I thought featuring this app +http://stylishandcool.com/ would be most beneficial.  I discovered it last year, (early in the year, I’d like to say) on +youtube.com I was watching a youtuber discuss her love of a particular app where uploading a cyber closet was possible.  As I allowed my shock and excitement to sink in, I investigated this further immediately, only to find the app she mentioned was poorly rated so alas I thought, totally bummer!  So I did a general search of like apps and came across +stylishandcool.com/ which was highly rated and looked very promising powered by +shopstyle and +polyvore!  This is definitely the time to mention that this app is completely free!!! There is a charge if you are interested in purchasing the calendar feature, which I inevitably did but it is absolutely not necessary!!  So uploading my items took me at least two month, this is not morning noon and night but off and on working on it when I had free time or when I remembered something that I had in my closet that had to be uploaded at once. 

I do have a few suggestions if you choose to take on this project.  At first I began photographing my items, which would have taken FOREVER!!! I quickly lost motivation as I tried putting an outfit together and didn’t like the finished product.  So what I began doing was going to +Google images and locating my items there from the original stores I bought them from and saving the images to my iphone/ipad, this process was a lot quicker and I was able to locate my items even if it had been years since I purchased my items.  On those rare occasions when I was unable to locate my exact item, I made due with like-wise items.  What I love now that it’s all in there, you can create a wish list of items you want and when you buy them, you can just move them from your wish list to your virtual closet, I love this feature!!!  So below I'm sharing some of my own images from my stylish girl virtual closet!  Any of you willing to give this a try, let me know how it works out for you!

New Year, new post it seems!  Today is the first time I realized this, I'm an annual poster.  No this must change.  Especially because I have sooooooo much to tell!  I went through my annual excel spread sheet of 2012 and I must say, I'm beyond over the moon that I had lots of items checked off!  This does lend itself problematic when my closet is seeping into my bedroom.  Next on the wish list a clean clutter free closet for more than a month at a time!!  Plus the good thing about a good closet purge, donations, room for this years annual spread sheet wish list and a sense of accomplishment, not to mention the good example to the kiddies!

But for now my 2013 list is shaping up to be my most simple list yet.  If i'm lucky Valentines day will bring a few checks off my list, here's hoping!  I will update my wishlist accordingly if need beAnyone else make annual wish list?? I'd love to know!!
