Overhaul! Would an app help?

I have that age-old dilemma of owning lots of clothes but feeling like I never have anything to wear Confused I'm a busy full-time working mum, I like to look put together but find that I spend a lot of time having to think about an outfit for each day and I often forget about clothes that I have until I happen to come across them accidentally Blush

I am committed to sorting this out once and for all but how best to go about it?! Should I put everything into piles and then create outfits? Or just focus on the individual items? Take photos or make a list? Is there a clever/quicker way of going about it?

I'd love to hear from anyone who's done this and get tips and tricks.

There is an app (Apple only) called style book that I use. Good for recording and remembering good combos. Also a good check of how many of certain items you have and wether it’s disproportionate.
Easier to reference the app for ideas than root through cupboards too

Should I put everything into piles and then create outfits?

I did. It makes getting dressed in the morning much quicker. I don't do the half worn clothes pile either. It goes on in the morning, stays on all day, then goes into the washing basket at night. Outfit gets washed together and put away together. My life is so much simpler now.

The biggest issue with having lots of clothes is adequately displaying everything so you know what you've got and can easily get to it. I still haven't quite figured that one out.

Indeed. This is why I'm thinking photos would help. The thoughts of it is putting me off!! But I know it would make my mornings so much easier...
