1 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning, 2 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's 3 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: tip is to create a wardrobe photo file. By having 4 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: an easy reference of what looks good together, you can 5 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: take a lot of thought out of getting dressed. Today's 6 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: tip comes courtesy Molly Rabuschetz Hamenez, a stylist who's been 7 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: in the business for eighteen years, working in TV, film, commercials, 8 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: and other media. Basically, the idea is to take pictures 9 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: of your items of clothing so you can put them 10 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: in various combinations. Remember what those combinations are. You could 11 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: have a professional help you with this, or you could 12 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: do it yourself. Picture those photos you see online of 13 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: a full outfit, shoes to accessories, all pulled together. That's 14 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: kind of what you are creating. Molly says that creating 15 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: a deck or file of wardrobe photos ahead of time 16 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: can significantly streamline the process of getting ready each day. 17 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: By organizing and cataloging your clothing options beforehand, you eliminate 18 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: the need to physically sift through your wardrobe every morning. 19 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: Instead of rummaging through closets or drawers in a frenzy, 20 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: you can simply browse through the digital collection to quickly 21 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: select outfits that match your mood, the weather, or the occasion. 22 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: She suggests that you can even create files for different 23 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: categories such as work, date night, casual, weekend, travel, et cetera. 24 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: It turns out that having visual references of your wardrobe 25 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: helps you experiment with different combinations and ensures that you 26 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: make the most of your existing clothing collection without overlooking 27 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: any pieces, while also ensuring you are wearing items that 28 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: flatter your current figure. I am sure many of us 29 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: have had the experience of wanting, say, a cute date 30 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: night outfit, and putting on the exact same thing we 31 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: wore two weeks ago. If you have pictures of three 32 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: different great date night outfits, though, you can make sure 33 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: all of them are getting equal love. You might also 34 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: be able to get rid of a few things. After all, 35 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: if you can't put an item into an outfit, you 36 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: either need to buy something to help it out, or 37 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: maybe it's time to pass it along, says Mollie. It 38 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: could even help you pare down your closet into a 39 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: more cohesive capsule collection. Maybe you have seven to eight 40 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: work outfits, five weekend outfits, and then you call it 41 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: a day for any given season. Mollie says that overall, 42 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: the convenience and efficiency of having a pre organized wardrobe 43 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: photo file can transform your daily routine and make getting 44 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: dressed a more quick, enjoyable, and stress free experience. This 45 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: winning combo can make you feel more confident in what 46 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: you are wearing and thus have a more successful day. 47 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: That is always a good thing. So consider creating a 48 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: photo file of the pieces in your wardrobe. You'll have 49 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: a better handle on what you own and you might 50 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: be able to put things together better in the meantime. 51 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: This is Laura, Thanks for listening, and here's to making 52 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: the most of our time.
