Dress Assistant Shout Out
Music Playlist at MixPod.com
My pretties, I have been meaning to mention something of great value to you. I swear it wasn't out of selfish intent but purely out of a lapse of memory. I have a little trick of the trade that could literally save you so much time and bring to you much closet appreciation . . .
Some of you might be already familiar with this product, but I have never heard of it or heard of anyone ever using it. It all started with a Clueless reference . . . .
So I was talking to Pat one night about how cool it would be to have that program that Cher uses in Clueless for my own closet. After harnessing my thinking cap, I took to the internets . . .
That's when I stumbled across Dress Assistant. I checked it out online and figured that for only $19.95, it was worth a try.
Let me tell you my friends, it was totally worth it! The pain in the arse part is that you have to take pictures of all your clothes, shoes and accessories. BUT when you are done, it is so much fun to play with!
You get to make your own outfits with it, name them and even coordinate them with events. I cannot tell you how much fun this has been and even better how much time it has saved me getting dressed in the morning. When I am bored, I just sit around and "play with my clothes" on this program, mixing and matching and remixing . . . it's great! And come morning, when I am stumped on what to wear, I just fire it up and look for that outfit I have made but long forgotten. Even better is that it really lets me see everything that is in my closet. Gone are the days when I pull out a piece of clothing and get that "oh yeeeeeeeah . . . " moment. If you are inclined, check it out! It is worth it, I promise.

I have an app on my phone called stylebook that does the same thing, but I had to take the photos with my iphone and it was so annoying, I only took shots of 5 items. The app had all these requirements to take the pic, like it had to have a solid clear background. How does the picture taking work for this program

Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can follow each other?http://www.fashionmechic.com/
Wow, that would take forever! It's a sweet concept though, if only it wasn't the biggest hassle to take inventory of your own closet :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Steffy!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you so very much! That means a lot!
ReplyDeletei like what you've done with the scarf and the bun :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your compliment.
ReplyDeleteI know. It was kind of a pain, but in the end, it was worth it. Even taking the pictures was nice cause I got to really inventory my closet and toss things I didn't want or fit in any more and remember old "friends". ;-)
ReplyDeleteShasie, you do have to take the pictures, but you can take them with a camera, your phone or the webcam on your laptop. It is really time consuming, but you can take the pics any way that you want to. I just laid mine on a black sheet so they all had the same background, but it is up to you. You can even take them with you wearing them if you want. I don't know. It might not be for everyone, but I find it lots of fun! The program also comes with a program for your computer and another app you can transfer to your IPhone. I don't have an IPhone, but it would be pretty cool I think. Check them out if you want to! Thanks as always for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little device! I totally should have invented this grrrr lol. Thanks for sharing.
