Organize your wardrobe in an easy way

Is your closet a mess? Do you have problems finding an outfit? Do you even know what you have in your closet? Do you wish it was more organized, so you could easier find an outfit? Well, I know I do. I know I have tons of clothes and accessories, but I do not have an overview of everything in my closet, and I wish I had. After googling a bit, I found a solution to my problem: digital closet organizer.

Basically a digital closet organizer organizes your clothes and accessories into categories and color coordinates it, so you have control of everything in your wardrobe. This is a cheaper way to organize your closet, if you cannot afford buying a bigger closet. 

I found this digital closet organizer app in Mac App Store, called Dress Assistant. It was easy to download it, and I started with my jewelries. I took pictures with my phone of all my jewelries, transferred them to my Mac, and dragged the items over to the program into the respective category. Once I did this with all my pictures, I labelled each item with color, description and size. Then I sorted them after color. This organization will take a while, but I personally think this is worth it. I have to admit, this is the first time I have an overview of all my stuff, and what type and color jewelry I have too much of, and what I am missing or have less of. 

The Dress Assistant also allows you to put together outfits for events (it even has an event planner), you can edit color and light on each picture, and sort clothes depending on the weather. Nevertheless, you can make several wardrobes, for instance for your mum, your sister or your boyfriend. Even though it does not have all the categories you personally prefer, you can create, add and drop categories you don't need. 

Below you can see a screenshot I took of my Dress Assistant, where I have started to sort my jewelry. 




You can download the app from Mac App Store, and search for "Dress Assistant". The price is $19.99 or NOK 140. A bit expensive, but to me it is worth it if it makes my life easier, and my closet more organized.



The only thing missing in this app, is that I wish it had subcategories, and that it would be an easier way to sync between iPad, iPhone and Mac. 

So far I am happy with this product, and I hope to have taken pictures and organized all my stuff before I go back to Hawaii, so I don't buy more stuff I don't need in the future. There is even an iPhone app which you can download, and it is much cheaper than the Mac version. I think there are several wardrobe organizers online, but this is the only one I've tried. You should read upon each wardrobe organizer before you buy it, so you know it suits your preferences. Happy organizing!
