WEBVTT - Second Cup: Make a wardrobe photo file

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>tip is to create a wardrobe photo file.

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 2>By having an easy reference of what looks good together,

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 2>you can take a lot of thought out of getting dressed.

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Today's tip comes courtesy Molly Rabuschetzjmenez, a stylist who's been

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 2>in the business for eighteen years, working in TV, film, commercials,

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 2>and other media.

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Basically, the idea is to take pictures of your items

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>of clothing so you can put them in various combinations.

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Remember what those combinations are. You could have a professional

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:53.959
<v Speaker 1>help you with this, or you could do it yourself.

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Picture those photos you see online of a full outfit.

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Choose to accessories all pulled together. That's kind of what

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>you are creating. Molly says that creating a deck or

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>file of wardrobe photos ahead of time can significantly streamline

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>the process of getting ready each day. By organizing and

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>cataloging your clothing options beforehand, you eliminate the need to

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>physically sift through your wardrobe every morning. Instead of rummaging

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>through closets or drawers in a frenzy, you can simply

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>browse through the digital collection to quickly select outfits that

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>match your mood, the weather, or the occasion. She suggests

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.759
<v Speaker 1>that you can even create files for different categories such

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 1>as work, date night, casual, weekend, travel, et cetera. It

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>turns out that having visual references of your wardrobe helps

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you experiment with different combinations and ensures that you make

0:01:55.400 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the most of your existing clothing collection without overlooking any pieces,

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>while also ensuring you are wearing items that flatter your

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>current figure. I am sure many of us have had

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the experience of wanting, say, a cute date night outfit,

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>and putting on the exact same thing we wore two

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago. If you have pictures of three different great

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>date night outfits, though, you can make sure all of

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 1>them are getting equal love. You might also be able

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.799
<v Speaker 1>to get rid of a few things. After all, if

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 1>you can't put an item into an outfit, you either

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 1>need to buy something to help it out, or maybe

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>it's time to pass it along, says Mollie. It could

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.239
<v Speaker 1>even help you pare down your closet into a more

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>cohesive capsule collection. Maybe you have seven to eight work outfits,

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 1>five weekend outfits, and then you call it a day

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:56.359
<v Speaker 1>for any given season. Mollie says that overall, the convenience

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>and efficiency of having a pre organized wardrobe photo file

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>can transform your daily routine and make getting dressed a

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>more quick, enjoyable, and stress free experience. This winning combo

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>can make you feel more confident in what you are

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>wearing and thus have a more successful day. That is

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>always a good thing. So consider creating a photo file

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>of the pieces in your wardrobe. You'll have a better

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>handle on what you own and you might be able

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>to put things together better in the meantime. This is Laura,
