So you've been shopping for that office Christmas party, or the family get together? Have you ever found yourself in a position of discovering you bought something that is so similar to something you already own in your wardrobe? Do you even know how many shoes you really have? If you did, it might scare you into buying more (or not).
You know what they say: knowledge is power. So I went out looking for something that can help me figure out my fashion possessions. And I found it!
If you are a Mac user, and have Leapord, Software De Arte has a program that can help you catalogue your stuff. And I mean stuff. Not just clothes, but accessories and shoes as well. The cool thing is that it can be compartmentalized into seasons, so you don't have to view everything at one shot. In fact, you can even group up your clothes according to events for example, letting you see what works best with what, and reminds you of what you may have worn at an event (nothing worse than coming in the same outfit twice!).
The program also works with the Mac's built in i-Sight webcam, so you can take pictures of your clothes on the fly and immediately add them to your collection. And talk about being democratic, the program is good for both men and women.
It isn't perfect by any means, as I would have preferred customizable categories and design templates. Any Stylissimo would want to individualize their stuff! Still, it is the most user friendly and viable product out there. It may not be for everyone, and the cost of roughly USD 20 to buy the license may put some off. But if you want to give it a shot, you can download it and put about twenty of your items in. As I always say, never buy anything without trying first, and always only when there is a returns policy!
Enjoy!
