Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,
Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's
Speaker 1: tip is to create a wardrobe photo file. By having
Speaker 1: an easy reference of what looks good together, you can
Speaker 1: take a lot of thought out of getting dressed. Today's
Speaker 1: tip comes courtesy Molly Rabuschetz Hamenez, a stylist who's been
Speaker 1: in the business for eighteen years, working in TV, film, commercials,
Speaker 1: and other media. Basically, the idea is to take pictures
Speaker 1: of your items of clothing so you can put them
Speaker 1: in various combinations. Remember what those combinations are. You could
Speaker 1: have a professional help you with this, or you could
Speaker 1: do it yourself. Picture those photos you see online of
Speaker 1: a full outfit, shoes to accessories, all pulled together. That's
Speaker 1: kind of what you are creating. Molly says that creating
Speaker 1: a deck or file of wardrobe photos ahead of time
Speaker 1: can significantly streamline the process of getting ready each day.
Speaker 1: By organizing and cataloging your clothing options beforehand, you eliminate
Speaker 1: the need to physically sift through your wardrobe every morning.
Speaker 1: Instead of rummaging through closets or drawers in a frenzy,
Speaker 1: you can simply browse through the digital collection to quickly
Speaker 1: select outfits that match your mood, the weather, or the occasion.
Speaker 1: She suggests that you can even create files for different
Speaker 1: categories such as work, date night, casual, weekend, travel, et cetera.
Speaker 1: It turns out that having visual references of your wardrobe
Speaker 1: helps you experiment with different combinations and ensures that you
Speaker 1: make the most of your existing clothing collection without overlooking
Speaker 1: any pieces, while also ensuring you are wearing items that
Speaker 1: flatter your current figure. I am sure many of us
Speaker 1: have had the experience of wanting, say, a cute date
Speaker 1: night outfit, and putting on the exact same thing we
Speaker 1: wore two weeks ago. If you have pictures of three
Speaker 1: different great date night outfits, though, you can make sure
Speaker 1: all of them are getting equal love. You might also
Speaker 1: be able to get rid of a few things. After all,
Speaker 1: if you can't put an item into an outfit, you
Speaker 1: either need to buy something to help it out, or
Speaker 1: maybe it's time to pass it along, says Mollie. It
Speaker 1: could even help you pare down your closet into a
Speaker 1: more cohesive capsule collection. Maybe you have seven to eight
Speaker 1: work outfits, five weekend outfits, and then you call it
Speaker 1: a day for any given season. Mollie says that overall,
Speaker 1: the convenience and efficiency of having a pre organized wardrobe
Speaker 1: photo file can transform your daily routine and make getting
Speaker 1: dressed a more quick, enjoyable, and stress free experience. This
Speaker 1: winning combo can make you feel more confident in what
Speaker 1: you are wearing and thus have a more successful day.
Speaker 1: That is always a good thing. So consider creating a
Speaker 1: photo file of the pieces in your wardrobe. You'll have
Speaker 1: a better handle on what you own and you might
Speaker 1: be able to put things together better in the meantime.
Speaker 1: This is Laura, Thanks for listening, and here's to making
Speaker 1: the most of our time. Thanks for listening to Before Breakfast.
