28 Days of Outfits - InStyle Magazine Inspiration



I'm totally in love with the story "28 Days of Amazing Outfits" in October's InStyle Magazine. This is the perfect project for Stylebook users, since you can test outfit combinations without dragging the items out of your physical closet. Below are some great tips on how you can use what you already own while figuring out what to buy this fall.


1. Create a closet folder for your "28 Days of Outfits" pieces. 
Browse your Stylebook closet and then move items from the magazine's list into your new folder. This will help you figure out what you already have in your closet. I was pleasantly surprised to find out I already had quite a few items comparable to the ones on the list

2. Before you start making a shopping list, figure out how many of the outfits you can make with what you already own. 
I was able to use the items I placed in my "28 Days of Outfits" folder to make ten of the looks without even thinking about heading out to the store!

3. Browse the remaining looks to pick out key pieces for your fall shopping list. 
Looking at this story helped me figure out that I want a shearling vest, Navajo-inspired cardigan, camel satchel, and pussybow blouse. 


Extra Tips: 
  1. The story has tiny thumbnails of the pieces used in each look so it's super easy to figure out what pieces to use in your Stylebook outfits
  2. After you've made all of your looks, schedule them on the Stylebook calendar. This will help you avoid wearing repeat items too close together. Now you can look polished every day for a month without even trying ;D
UPDATE: Use Stylebook's Shopping feature to try out potential purchases with items you already own by importing images directly from Shopping into your Stylebook virtual closet. If you can pair the item with at least three outfits you already own, it's probably a pretty good buy. Now you can easily decide which items from the list will have the biggest impact on your wardrobe. How To Add Items From Retailers Directly To Your Stylebook Closet
