I digitally cataloged my ENTIRE wardrobe to maximize my closet

In today's video, I'm seeing if digitally cataloging your closet using a wardrobe app is worth it. I had Devon, the co-founder of the Indyx app, come over to help me and tell us all about why you should consider doing it! Honestly, I was NOT expecting the result. This is a brand new way to look at your wardrobe, and it's going to take shopping your own closet to the NEXT level.

Would you try this? I played with Indyx for HOURS after my wardrobe was catalogued, and it’s literally SO much fun creating outfits. Shopping your closet has literally been taken to the NEXT level! Let me know if you try Indyx! 🎉

Great idea. I have a similar system, except that my photos come from the websites I buy my clothes from. I can plan outfits, visually track how much I wear those pieces of clothes and learn from my choices.

This could not have come at a better time! I am always scrolling shopping sites and I would rather “shop” my own closet and not spend money when I don’t have to!!! Thank you so much for

I have been using a digital wardrobe app for 2 years. It’s been transformative. I can enter a new piece that I’m considering adding to my wardrobe and see if I can make 6 outfits with it that I would realistically wear. If I can’t do that. I don’t buy it. I use it for outfit planning and tracking cost per wear, as well as trying to style things I don’t wear enough.

I ALREADY started using it took an hour or so to catalog 50 items. Today I will (hopefully) finish up. The fact that it is taking my focus off the endless scrolling/online shopping is a life changer already. I have been trying to shop my own closet this makes it much easier. I realized comfort and shape is THE most important to me. This will allow me to categorize my outfits to have ideas on hand when I am bloated/on my period to have outfits I KNOW feel good and look good without getting discouraged and feeling bad about my body when a pair of pants fits tighter than I want at that point of my cycle!!! My body has changed a LOT over the past few years. This will help me track the materials and shapes of the items I feel the best in and I can shop for my real self instead of my "dream" self.

I have been using Stylebook since 2017. Cataloguing my closet has really helped me to hone my style, monitor cost for wear and help me to manage spending.

I have just completed my catalogue. OMG!!! Mind-blowing!!!! I can see clearly all possibilities... Pieces which work together or not... Combinations never thought. Thank you so much!!!! You're all amazing.

[hellonatashaaaaa]

I love this! I challenged myself to shop my closet this month and to wear and style pieces that I hadn't worn in forever. It ended up being so much fun and I came up with some great new outfits. Can't remember if it was Christina or another youtuber who said, "you don't need more clothes, you need more creative ideas."

[gigantefan]

I stayed up until 2AM cataloging my wardrobe after watching your video. What helpful tips and what an awesome app. Thank you so much for doing this and sharing it with us. I love your style and loved looking through your closet on the app. You rock. Janet

This is so so cool. I love how Clueless is really continuing to inspire tech like this, all the way from the 90s 😆While I'm not sure I'll actually go through the effort of downloading the app and digitizing my wardrobe (yet), I think the mantra 'styling over shopping' is genius and keeping it in mind will inspire me to take my outfits a step further this year. Love your channel Christina!

I have found Google lens a MASSIVE help when cataloguing my wardrobe. Because you can find the original white background pics for even really old pieces! I’ve been spending time cataloguing what I already have as a replacement to doom scrolling fast fashion sites and as a gratitude practice.

[cjack-caldeira]

I started to do this cataloguing yesterday and was overwhelmed by the shear volume! I am a maximalist 😂💃🏽🤗. Seeing this video I have a renewed spirit… thank you for these tips! So helpful!!

I’ve been tracking my wardrobe for over 2 years with Closet app and I use the app many times a day. I am a bit surprised by the approach of taking pictures instead of downloading product photos that are generally available, as (1) the effort is quite enormous and (2) product photos are so much more neat than anything we can achieve at home.

Whenever I am thinking of buying something new, I add the product photo to my items and try to build a few looks with it, before I decide for the purchase. It’s also a good visual way of maintaining a wishlist, making it more real and incorporated to your actual wardrobe :)

I always input data for categories, colors, sizes, price and a season, which allows me to track cost per wear, quickly see how many items of each category I have, or hide non-seasonal clothing. I am also a big fan of using a packing function - whenever I go for vacation, I just select the looks and I get a full packing list so I don’t forget anything :)

I also think it’s a good idea to put in every item you own - in other words, every white T-shirt or every black blazer - as (1) you track the cost-per-wear, and (2) having a good overview makes you stop before you hit “Buy” on the next white T-shirt. I think it’s good to be completely honest with yourself.

And when I am thinking of decluttering some items, I simply make them into a collage and send that to my friends who can call dibs on any items before I give it to charity.

[autumnellingham]

Everyone who loves clothes needs to do this (feeling a little smug i've been doing it for a few years diff app but love this one!) It's really helped my consumption and to stop excessive buying because i already have something i can use. Packing lists are brilliant! Thank you for sharing.

Very cool! Cataloguing my wardrobe was one of my lockdown projects in spring 2020 (with the app Stylebook). It takes a lot of time to get set up, but I've kept up with it and find it so rewarding. My favorite feature is being able to track my cost-per-wear, which helps me make decisions about new things to bring into my wardrobe.

[Diana-qnpp]

Thats awesome! I have done this myself but in the app OpenWardrobe and it took quite a while. But totally worth it. I added a folder for decluttered items, so that it’s easier for me to see why i decluttered or if there is a noticeable pattern 😬🥰

[missbeedixon]

I’ve started this process and am amazed by how much value I’m getting from it! I feel like I’m finally starting to see the value or my wardrobe, what fits, what doesn’t, do I need duplicates, etc. Thank you for the inspiration to get started!

[kcai]

i’ve never downloaded an app so fast - i’ve been cataloguing with a spreadsheet and this is way better than

[kamloopscruiser]

Wow, loved her tips on how to photograph the items and how the app she designed works for inputs. ❤️👍 just downloaded the app onto my phone and iPad. Going to play with it later today.

Big thanks to both of you!!!

[pajamamama]

This is so cool! I'm so happy for you Christina. I'm having a realization while watching this, that I have a number of clothes that I actually don't enjoy wearing, but because I'm on a weight loss journey, I refuse to buy anything new yet. I wasted a lot of money on clothes that are now too big for me. I'm not even sure I have enough in my current size that I like to even bother with this app. What a revelation.
