WEBVTT - Make a wardrobe photo file

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:21.119
<v Speaker 1>tip is to create a wardrobe photo file. By having

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>an easy reference of what looks good together, you can

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>take a lot of thought out of getting dressed. Today's

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>tip comes courtesy Molly Rabuschetz Hamenez, a stylist who's been

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>in the business for eighteen years, working in TV, film, commercials,

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and other media. Basically, the idea is to take pictures

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 1>of your items of clothing so you can put them

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>in various combinations. Remember what those combinations are. You could

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>have a professional help you with this, or you could

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>do it yourself. Picture those photos you see online of

0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>a full outfit, shoes to accessories, all pulled together. That's

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of what you are creating. Molly says that creating

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>a deck or file of wardrobe photos ahead of time

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 1>can significantly streamline the process of getting ready each day.

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:18.759
<v Speaker 1>By organizing and cataloging your clothing options beforehand, you eliminate

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.839
<v Speaker 1>the need to physically sift through your wardrobe every morning.

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Instead of rummaging through closets or drawers in a frenzy,

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you can simply browse through the digital collection to quickly

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>select outfits that match your mood, the weather, or the occasion.

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>She suggests that you can even create files for different

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:47.119
<v Speaker 1>categories such as work, date night, casual, weekend, travel, et cetera.

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>It turns out that having visual references of your wardrobe

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 1>helps you experiment with different combinations and ensures that you

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>make the most of your existing clothing collection without overlooking

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>any pieces, while also ensuring you are wearing items that

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>flatter your current figure. I am sure many of us

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 1>have had the experience of wanting, say, a cute date

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>night outfit, and putting on the exact same thing we

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>wore two weeks ago. If you have pictures of three

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 1>different great date night outfits, though, you can make sure

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>all of them are getting equal love. You might also

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>be able to get rid of a few things. After all,

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 1>if you can't put an item into an outfit, you

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>either need to buy something to help it out, or

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's time to pass it along, says Mollie. It

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>could even help you pare down your closet into a

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>more cohesive capsule collection. Maybe you have seven to eight

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>work outfits, five weekend outfits, and then you call it

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>a day for any given season. Mollie says that overall,

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the convenience and efficiency of having a pre organized wardrobe

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>photo file can transform your daily routine and make getting

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>dressed a more quick, enjoyable, and stress free experience. This

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>winning combo can make you feel more confident in what

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>you are wearing and thus have a more successful day.

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>That is always a good thing. So consider creating a

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>photo file of the pieces in your wardrobe. You'll have

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>a better handle on what you own and you might

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>be able to put things together better in the meantime.
