I legit don't remember the last time I wore pants. They tend to make me feel pretty dsyphoric. We haven't found the rest of my clothes since we moved so if I'd had access to my pair of jeans that fit I might have worn them a bit. I live in skirts and dresses, with tights of various lengths depending on the weather. Living in Perth I don't need the outwear for winter, I packed all my coats away and only dig them out when visiting over east. My style has definitely changed a lot as I've embraced my love of Care Bears and happily wear graphic tees, most from Big W with Care Bears, Stitch, Winnie the Pooh, all that fun stuff. I don't get much use out of all the beautiful knitwear I've made over the years because of the weather here, I get maybe 8 weeks of the year in Perth where I can wear wool. Part of me wants to try the tracking but I know myself well enough to know I'm not going to keep it up! I own a lot of jewellery, I want to wear more of it. I often get asked if I work with kids or if I'm an art teacher! I get so many compliments on my gorgeous Care Bears handbag. I remember crying on a shopping trip with my mum because she wanted me to be all corporate and I couldn't bear the thought of doing that any longer. My mum's favourite colour is cream, she used to hate that I wore brightly coloured socks and has finally accepted that I have a different aesthetic to her, though she wasn't impressed when I dyed my hair blue and when I got tattoos 😂 when I do wear makeup, it's always fun colours and glitter. If I'm going to be stuck on this planet, I'm going to have a good time doing it!
That plaidish jacket you aren't wearing is so cute! Maybe you need to have a sit down where you use indyx to try to come up with 10 ways to wear it. Some pieces are harder to throw together on the fly, so giving it some planning time might help. Given the rest of your wardrobe, you'd probably bee able to use it analgously quite a bit. It'd be a fun video.
The fact that pants excite you beyond almost anything else is the absolute best thing I've learned about you in this video. 🤣 I feel like my wardrobe I could predict pretty easily -- lots of black, grey, and green with a some dark red and blue mixed in. My most expensive would definitely be the functional items -- footwear and outerwear, especially winter gear. I am still in the process of post- career change wardrobe shift, downsizing the amount of more formal office type wear that I have because my current life just doesn't call for it.
Haha I can’t help it, pants are just so fun! 😂 it is interesting how much a career shift or other lifestyle change can impact our wardrobes! Makes sense, of course, but highlights how much our ‘styles’ are influenced by our situation. I do feel like I dress almost like a caricature of a children’s bookseller sometimes 😅
I just have a tally system in the back of my journal. And I am aiming to get at least 30 wears per item. This is so easy with shoes, loungewear and my favorite pants. But it is surprising how nicer or more unique outfits that I love but only work for certain weather only get about 5 wears per year. Which means I need to love them for 6+ years. And unique outfits can often be trendy outfits! so any trend that I am thinking about getting into I have to ask myself- "will I still love this in 6 years?" And cheap clothes i am tempted to buy- i have to ask myself "will this hold up through 30 wears and up to 30 washes?"
Ahh I love this framing! You’re right - some things are so easy to clock up lots of wears, but other kinds of items are harder. I think your system is going to stay in the back of my mind as something to think about - thank you for sharing!
@@leenanorms not Leena fucking Norms commenting on a video in which I casually mention ‘learning more about sustainability’ - most of which I’ve learnt from Leena fucking Norms 🥲❤️ Also, thank you 😊
I have a much larger amount of items in my Indyx (600+). There's a few reasons for this. Where I live we have 4 distinct and extreme seasons. I also have two jobs (office corporate, and a community teacher), and I'm also quite active/sporty 🤷
I was feeling stressed about hitting 250 and still going, but you make a great point. 4 seasons, hobbies, and a dirty job make for a lot of items. I’ll give myself a break.
Love seeing this break down! My favorite thing to see in my closet tracking is tracking the number of wears and reason behind a piece leaving my wardrobe. I have some items that I’ve worn over three hundred times, but most clothes that leave my closet leave with less than 20 wears. The exceptions are the pieces which are fully worn out and I am not passing on to anyone else. Those pieces will have hundreds of wears. It also gives you a very clear picture of the quality from certain brands, because I’ve had pants where the entire butt was worn so thin that was unwearable after only 173 wears. In comparison I have a sweater that is nearing the same number of wears and it looks identical to the day I bought it.
I just started using indyx a month or so ago. Previously I used Acloset but deleted it when everything basically disappeared after the "free trial period". I wasn't looking forward to logging everything again but I really enjoy putting outfits together. I aspire to you, my closet is way too big but I do love choices! I've got 431 items logged, 121 of them are tops. I probably have another 50 items or so to log when spring comes along (they're packed away). But before you think I'm a hoarder I'm really not, I go through my wardrobe regularly and make sure I wear everything. But I love COLOR
@dorcasperkins1647 I have very similar numbers, but maybe 100 items of them in the storage section right now, as they might not fit or are currently not in style. 😊 I was shocked when I realized that at equal use I can wear every top only 3 times a year 😅
Katie, thank you for sharing your wardrobe with us. I think we’re all gonna have different styles of wardrobe. It’s your channel, It’s your wardrobe no criticism from me. I love that you are looking at things you wear like the colors. I did get the app previously and started adding clothes to it. I need to add more winter items. It is interesting to see my trends, ruts, what I value and types of items that I purchase. I usually wear a cardigan everyday because where I work is cool. I usually purchase 2 to 4 in the fall and get rid of the ratty ones. Most are knit and some are more durable, and some stretch, pill, or lose their shape. They get a lot of use.
I'm still in the process of importing my pieces into Indyx... I'm 455 items deep so far and haven't included most of my limited-use statement pieces or summer wardrobe. 😅
Thank you for sharing this breakdown. I adored your colourful indyx calendar and the outfits showing how you put all of the colour's together. I was worried that Olly that wouldn't make an appearance so I am glad I stayed until the end. And I'm wondering whether I could cheekily suggest putting the iffy items on your stylists list to create outfits for. And, i appear to be in an especiallt wondering mood because i thought about pairing the black and oatmeal shirt with the lime pants and the bomber jacket (cobalt and lime is lovely to my eye) and then add the wrong shoe (the black loafers, or maybe the gold) just for funsies.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! And that Olly deigned to make an appearance at the end - we truly are blessed! You’re so right, I can see all those things together. I’ll have to try them on and play around!
Just discovered you when Indyx shared your recent video- loved your reporting on your experience with your Indyx stylist and this data! I’ll be looking at your past videos - love your style, both clothing and presentation wise. Thanks! 19:46
all you need to do is record your wears and how much you bought things for and you can do it yourself!! I am an insane person who does this by hand. I tally up my wears on the last page of my journal. Each month I have a page of my wishlist and what i bout and how much it was. And when I go a year of data i calculated cost per wear.
Cost per wear is such an important and powerful statistic, that’s for sure! That is something Indyx provides, too, but as @rheasparrow1 said it is doable in lots of different ways!
@@rheasparrow1 I do my cost per wear for all of my makeup, even for every pan of eyeshadow. But when I tried doing it for my clothes I failed so hard. I think it's just a little to much work for me. :(
Wow!!! I love this video. We’re way different and that makes me grin in appreciation… that it takes all kinds of people to make the world go ‘round. 😁😁😁 I’m in Canada, with 4 distinct seasons. 108 items in total, including swimwear and all accessories. The breakdown: 23% accessories, 21% tops, 19% bottoms, 11% dresses. ❤ I, too, log my daily outfits and it’s helped me realize just how much I love skirts and dresses… it’s been an entire week since I last wore pants. 😂😂
Haha Canada is definitely colder than Melbourne! Those ‘most worn’ jackets and coats are fine for most of the cooler months, but I have two other jackets that are a lot heavier for those few weeks that it does get cold here! Tbf though, I’m from the tropics originally so I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to the cold! 😅
this is actually so interesting! i tried logging my outfits and wardrobe for a lil bit. i really didnt enjoy the process of taking pictures of my clothes LOL. when it came to wearing my clothes, i felt like it kind of took some spontaneity out of decisions to refer to the app, and found i preferred laying clothes i felt like wearing in the moment out and pairing things physically! so ultimately i didn't keep the app. i really liked what you mentioned about knowing what you have and how it informs purchases though. i can see that being really helpful
I can appreciate the desire for that spontaneous creativity with your wardrobe! I sometimes do put outfits together without the app and then log what I wore after the fact. Whatever works, hey! 😊
I use so many tracking apps for various things in life-health and reading, primarily. It’s so useful to have actual data to use when deciding “is this really too much?” I’ve never considered tracking my wardrobe (I don’t go out much), but all these videos featuring Indyx are tempting me 😅
Love a good data deepdive 😊 I use Acloset and I was surprised about the number of items as well. I felt like I had less, probably because I had a lot of items I never reached for.
When you said that you had 184 items I thought that wasn't a lot. I know that I have more than that. Probably 2-3x more.. I have a lot of dresses for example, and a lot of shoes since I used to work at a shoe store and acquired a lot during that time, I've only bought a few pairs over the last few years since I left the store. I'm on a low buy though and have been going through all my things. I've donated quite a bit lately. I really need to do this one day. I have the app but just haven't used it.
It’s hard to know what ‘normal’ is because we don’t get to peer into each other’s wardrobes everyday! But it feels like a full, fun, but not too overwhelming wardrobe for me! 🥰
@@KateyOneMoreTime my wardrobe is giant, but I think that's because I have years and years of collecting clothes and then not being very good at decluttering when my tastes and styles change and when I've had major career changes that required significant shifts in my wardrobe. Some pieces in my wardrobe are almost 30 years old. I'm in the process of going through everything now to donate all the stuff I no longer wear, like all my corporate business suits from my corporate consulting days, etc.
Oh wow how incredible to have had clothes journey with you for so long and to have built such a personal collection!! I’m sure some of those clothes have some special stories attached, too!
Wow, I really need to get my clothing on Indyx and hire the UA-cam thrifter/stylist , Laini Ozark, who styles for them! You make me want to play with these stats as well. Love your style!! 🥰
Hi,I have been using closet apps for a year and a half now. It was mainly to help me determine which clothes to declutter, because I realized that what I love is not necessarely what I wear. I've got 220 items catalogued in openwardrobe (for the data aspect), in XY (for the japanese styling that give me styling ideas I would never have thought of) and finally style dna ( for the free color analysis part, an AI determine your colors and then you can upload an image of a clothe you want to buy and it will tell you if the color and style would go with your profile). Unfortunately for me, after more than a year of noting with extreme constance my outfits of the day, I discovered that I wear at least 94% of my wardrobe and nothing stand out as less worn in each categorie.
I was like, I have a familiar amount of items, but less tops, bottoms, less shoes, just a few more one-pieces, and then I saw it was my accessories category, lots of hair accessories! Which is fun because I've been trying to style them more again. Good thing is that they will always fit and also stay cute through the years so most I've had for 10+ years or even from family.
Don’t judge, I have 276 items including jewelry, shoes, bags etc. plus I excluded loungewear with another 51 items and 42 items of activewear. We have four seasons here, that is a huge factor. Have been using open wardrobe for two months now and enjoy looking at the data and wearing more of my clothes. I wear almost 90% of all my clothes. The app helps to have everything on sight at any time.
I’ve been documenting my outfits in Indyx since April this year and I love every single element of this but my key findings would be the confirmation of the right track with my wardrobe choices - it seems that since april I have worn 88% of my wardrobe (which might be lowered by few items I have added recently but they were not shipped to me yet - I’m too eager of the Indyx user) and my average number of uses is 28. I love clothes and it is my creative outlet of choice but also I have been worried not to consume new stuff beyond needs. Those stats show me I truly use and love my wardrobe but also I have constant access to the evidence of abundance of my current collection which helps me talk myself out of unnecessary purchases
That's amazing! I feel you on wanting an expressive, exciting wardrobe while remaining a mindful consumer. Glad you've found that balance for yourself!
Fascinating video! Yes, you are very brave! I really enjoy your style, even though mine is somewhat different --you have so many lovely colours and some gorgeous pieces ! Maybe I have strange habits, but I am informed by a) having to keep some clothes in better shape for work b) being extremely casual c) not having much money d) being "difficult to fit" (oh capitalism's notions of sizes and "fit"). What this all means is that I have opted to have "around-the-house clothes" and "other clothes". This way I wear out my "around-the-house clothes", or stain them by accident, or whatever, but keep the other clothes in good condition. It works also as a way to use up clothes purchases that didn't work out as hoped, or that shrunk, etc. Also, I need comfort, so "around-the-house clothes" can be mostly t-shirts and jeans, which is fine by me. I honestly would like to get rid of some of my "around-the-house clothes" but my (somewhat necessary) frugality makes me not want to waste clothing that I don't hate. If/when I have more time and energy, I'll see what I can do... What I'd like to know about my wardrobe is mostly where have all my socks gone!?? Which part of the house is eating them?
Thanks for this! I am tracking my wardrobe, but I wish I could track how often I wear something in relation to how long I've owned it. I'm trying to include notes of what I feel like is working or what would help the outfit feel better on me because of great advice from a Kristen Cain Style video on moving from self-criticism to wearing clothes you enjoy. Such a useful app, so interesting! Most unexpected takeaway has been that I don't have enough pajamas 😊
You can put in the date that you bought an item in Indyx, and it also tracks number of wears, which is definitely a feature I appreciate. Love that your take away is that you need more pjs! Comfort is key!! :D
Haha glad I’m not alone in my pant enthusiasm! 😅❤️ I do have most of my lounge wear logged and if I wear lounge wear for a decent part of the day, I will log it. I don’t have more PJ items digitised though. The line is a bit blurry but that’s how I’ve got it set up for now! 😊
I looove these kinds of videos, they provide a real peoples data so we dont compare each other with curated content only, I have 200 items in my wardrobe but because i log all my socks and accesories haha, I also guessed i would have 100 pieces, so i was surprised haha
I’ve reach the same conclusions with indyx in regards to getting creative, it helping me find my style, and be intentional with new purchases. I have a lot more items than you, but i also have like 70 pieces of jewelry cause i love to pile it on so…
I would probably seem pretty modest in the actual numbers of clothes that I own. And do wear. But I have probably 30-36 pr of shoes. And I’ve never even thought about the number of pieces of jewelry I have. I think I only have 6-7 purses. I occasionally think about counting my clothes but I really do wear everything I own at some time or other. I don’t own “trendy” pieces. I can and do wear the majority of my wardrobe from one yr to the next. I take really good care of my clothes and I do get rid of stuff at least once a yr.
I have around 150 items of main clothing, possibly a bit more as am still adding some things like jeans. I added a few accessories but not all to the app. But I never added any my casual/gym stuff (god that would take me well over 250 probably), nor are most of my shoes in there yet. I agree, its a scary number when you see it totalled. I’m also working through to make sure I use everything I have or need to let it go ehich I think is a brilliant way of using the app.
this is so interesting to go through, thank you for sharing! i was wondering what made you chose to switch over to indyx after using whering? i just started using whering myself a couple months ago, and am not sure what the differences are
Honestly, there's a couple of minor things I prefer about Indyx, like the more streamlined aesthetic. I think because my wardrobe is so colourful, I like that the app is simple so my clothes shine. I also was interested in the stylist services, even though it took me a while to pull the trigger and try it out! But mainly, Wearing kept crashing on me! Not all the time, but often enough for it to annoy me, especially when I was almost finished putting an outfit together and would have to start over! I don't know if that's still an issue, or one everyone experienced, but I've never had Indyx crash on me, so that's a big win. Without the crashing, I don't think I would've switched, though!
It took me a couple of weekends to get almost everything photographed and logged, so definitely a fair time investment. I know some people prefer to do it in smaller chunks.
my color breakdown is purple and black and 1 dak grays hat. thats it. i'm autistic and purple is my color. my phone and cane are also purple. i have 1 shoes. i wear it summer when its too warm for them and winter when its too cold for them. and i have 2 accessories, 1 necklace and 1 hat. outer wear i have 1 maybe 2 jackets that are not also sweaters. in winter i layer to keep from freezing in europe at down to -20C but i have no typical "winterjacket". bag i have 3, 2 are tote bags from book stores and my laptop bag pack. i think i have also around 7 one pieces. the others are hard to count for me and i cant keep up tracking. but i have shirts and pants in different sizes depending on if im gaining or shrinking at the time, because my weight is extremely unstable and changes between 40 and 65 kgs. so of those i cant always wear everything but i need everything. I also need to change my shirt and wash at least 2 times a day because i have POTS and that comes with excessively heavy sweating at even the lightest physical activity for me. when i bought my stuff it was mostly new, but that was like 10 years ago, and im not anywhere near buying new stuff.
Lol I'm not even done uploading everything in my closet. And I'm over 200. I have a lot of jewelry and a huge scarf collection. It's wild to me that I have more clothes than you and I live in the road full time and cart my closet around the country. I guess my job involves having clothes, Renaissance faires, but some people on the Rennie road wear the same thing to work every weekend and i dont
I love how broken up this is. I use a spreadsheet that someone in the YT sewing community designed, so I can see the information on the page I log, but I cant pull stats out very well.
@@emilypotter67 I am not great with pivot tables, but I'm pretty sure I should be able to. I need to redo the spreadsheet in a separate file. I've tried adding some charts and stuff that I think should have worked, but no matter what I tried it wouldn't, and I think it is a compatibility problem due to regional differences because the one I'm using comes from a French creator. So like I have to use commas instead of periods or it throws errors, and I did a little bit of a look into it and Google sheets does function differently in different countries.
I don’t think you have an excessive closet I have triple the amount that’s excessive 😅 I’m a maximalist at heart but still my percentage are similar tops versus pants and my usage is also similar bags, shoes and blazers are my most worn also I’m from Canada so we really have extreme weather super hot and humid during summer and super cold during winter so we need very specific clothing for each seasons. And we f course winter shoes and coats cost way more than a spring coat

We’re way different and that makes me grin in appreciation… that it takes all kinds of people to make the world go ‘round. 😁😁😁
I’m in Canada, with 4 distinct seasons. 108 items in total, including swimwear and all accessories. The breakdown: 23% accessories, 21% tops, 19% bottoms, 11% dresses. ❤
I, too, log my daily outfits and it’s helped me realize just how much I love skirts and dresses… it’s been an entire week since I last wore pants. 😂😂
An entire week without pants? Haha I love that! I could never 😂 Also, love how accessories are clearly a big element of your wardrobe and style!
This is so cool but as a Canadian I am cackling at her definition of a winter coat
Haha Canada is definitely colder than Melbourne! Those ‘most worn’ jackets and coats are fine for most of the cooler months, but I have two other jackets that are a lot heavier for those few weeks that it does get cold here! Tbf though, I’m from the tropics originally so I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to the cold! 😅
this is actually so interesting! i tried logging my outfits and wardrobe for a lil bit. i really didnt enjoy the process of taking pictures of my clothes LOL. when it came to wearing my clothes, i felt like it kind of took some spontaneity out of decisions to refer to the app, and found i preferred laying clothes i felt like wearing in the moment out and pairing things physically! so ultimately i didn't keep the app. i really liked what you mentioned about knowing what you have and how it informs purchases though. i can see that being really helpful
I can appreciate the desire for that spontaneous creativity with your wardrobe! I sometimes do put outfits together without the app and then log what I wore after the fact. Whatever works, hey! 😊
I love the color of the lavender jumper you are wearing, so beautiful on you. Enjoyed seeing alltge great color combos.
Glad you enjoyed the colour combos! It's fun playing around with them. 🌈
I use so many tracking apps for various things in life-health and reading, primarily. It’s so useful to have actual data to use when deciding “is this really too much?”
I’ve never considered tracking my wardrobe (I don’t go out much), but all these videos featuring Indyx are tempting me 😅
Too much data?! Never! 😅❤️
Love a good data deepdive 😊 I use Acloset and I was surprised about the number of items as well. I felt like I had less, probably because I had a lot of items I never reached for.
When you said that you had 184 items I thought that wasn't a lot. I know that I have more than that. Probably 2-3x more.. I have a lot of dresses for example, and a lot of shoes since I used to work at a shoe store and acquired a lot during that time, I've only bought a few pairs over the last few years since I left the store. I'm on a low buy though and have been going through all my things. I've donated quite a bit lately.
I really need to do this one day. I have the app but just haven't used it.
I really don't think that's a large wardrobe considering that everything you have is in there. This is pretty awesome.
It’s hard to know what ‘normal’ is because we don’t get to peer into each other’s wardrobes everyday! But it feels like a full, fun, but not too overwhelming wardrobe for me! 🥰
@@KateyOneMoreTime my wardrobe is giant, but I think that's because I have years and years of collecting clothes and then not being very good at decluttering when my tastes and styles change and when I've had major career changes that required significant shifts in my wardrobe. Some pieces in my wardrobe are almost 30 years old. I'm in the process of going through everything now to donate all the stuff I no longer wear, like all my corporate business suits from my corporate consulting days, etc.
Oh wow how incredible to have had clothes journey with you for so long and to have built such a personal collection!! I’m sure some of those clothes have some special stories attached, too!
I agree, 184 items seems pretty reasonable to cover all seasons and different situation.
I agree. It's about 46 items per season. That seems quite small.
Wow, I really need to get my clothing on Indyx and hire the UA-cam thrifter/stylist , Laini Ozark, who styles for them! You make me want to play with these stats as well. Love your style!! 🥰
Hi,I have been using closet apps for a year and a half now. It was mainly to help me determine which clothes to declutter, because I realized that what I love is not necessarely what I wear. I've got 220 items catalogued in openwardrobe (for the data aspect), in XY (for the japanese styling that give me styling ideas I would never have thought of) and finally style dna ( for the free color analysis part, an AI determine your colors and then you can upload an image of a clothe you want to buy and it will tell you if the color and style would go with your profile). Unfortunately for me, after more than a year of noting with extreme constance my outfits of the day, I discovered that I wear at least 94% of my wardrobe and nothing stand out as less worn in each categorie.
I was like, I have a familiar amount of items, but less tops, bottoms, less shoes, just a few more one-pieces, and then I saw it was my accessories category, lots of hair accessories! Which is fun because I've been trying to style them more again. Good thing is that they will always fit and also stay cute through the years so most I've had for 10+ years or even from family.
So amazing!!
Don’t judge, I have 276 items including jewelry, shoes, bags etc. plus I excluded loungewear with another 51 items and 42 items of activewear. We have four seasons here, that is a huge factor. Have been using open wardrobe for two months now and enjoy looking at the data and wearing more of my clothes. I wear almost 90% of all my clothes. The app helps to have everything on sight at any time.
Thanks for sharing! No judgment here - I love that we’re all being transparent about our different experiences and needs!
I’ve been documenting my outfits in Indyx since April this year and I love every single element of this but my key findings would be the confirmation of the right track with my wardrobe choices - it seems that since april I have worn 88% of my wardrobe (which might be lowered by few items I have added recently but they were not shipped to me yet - I’m too eager of the Indyx user) and my average number of uses is 28. I love clothes and it is my creative outlet of choice but also I have been worried not to consume new stuff beyond needs. Those stats show me I truly use and love my wardrobe but also I have constant access to the evidence of abundance of my current collection which helps me talk myself out of unnecessary purchases
That's amazing! I feel you on wanting an expressive, exciting wardrobe while remaining a mindful consumer. Glad you've found that balance for yourself!
Your style is so fun! I would love to get all kinds of data like this, but it seems like so much work 😅
It's definitely a lot of work to input it, but the insights are really worth it!
Fascinating video! Yes, you are very brave!
I really enjoy your style, even though mine is somewhat different --you have so many lovely colours and some gorgeous pieces !
Maybe I have strange habits, but I am informed by a) having to keep some clothes in better shape for work b) being extremely casual c) not having much money d) being "difficult to fit" (oh capitalism's notions of sizes and "fit").
What this all means is that I have opted to have "around-the-house clothes" and "other clothes". This way I wear out my "around-the-house clothes", or stain them by accident, or whatever, but keep the other clothes in good condition. It works also as a way to use up clothes purchases that didn't work out as hoped, or that shrunk, etc. Also, I need comfort, so "around-the-house clothes" can be mostly t-shirts and jeans, which is fine by me.
I honestly would like to get rid of some of my "around-the-house clothes" but my (somewhat necessary) frugality makes me not want to waste clothing that I don't hate. If/when I have more time and energy, I'll see what I can do...
What I'd like to know about my wardrobe is mostly where have all my socks gone!?? Which part of the house is eating them?
Ahh the sock stealing fairies have visited you, too, I see!
Great video!
Thank you! :D
Thanks for this! I am tracking my wardrobe, but I wish I could track how often I wear something in relation to how long I've owned it. I'm trying to include notes of what I feel like is working or what would help the outfit feel better on me because of great advice from a Kristen Cain Style video on moving from self-criticism to wearing clothes you enjoy. Such a useful app, so interesting! Most unexpected takeaway has been that I don't have enough pajamas 😊
You can put in the date that you bought an item in Indyx, and it also tracks number of wears, which is definitely a feature I appreciate. Love that your take away is that you need more pjs! Comfort is key!! :D
Pants excite me too! What do you do on days when you wear sweatpants/loungewear? Are those not logged or do you just never wear them?
Haha glad I’m not alone in my pant enthusiasm! 😅❤️
I do have most of my lounge wear logged and if I wear lounge wear for a decent part of the day, I will log it. I don’t have more PJ items digitised though. The line is a bit blurry but that’s how I’ve got it set up for now! 😊
I looove these kinds of videos, they provide a real peoples data so we dont compare each other with curated content only, I have 200 items in my wardrobe but because i log all my socks and accesories haha, I also guessed i would have 100 pieces, so i was surprised haha
Haha that’s so true - it’s so good to see real-life data like this!
What a great job. You certainly don’t have too much. If I count the Irene I probably have almost double that.
Thanks for sharing. I think cost per wear would be useful to explore for me when I get around to doing this
I do love that feature of Indyx, too! Definitely helpful in assessing where you get the most value!
thanks for sharing!
I’ve reach the same conclusions with indyx in regards to getting creative, it helping me find my style, and be intentional with new purchases. I have a lot more items than you, but i also have like 70 pieces of jewelry cause i love to pile it on so…
So glad you’ve found the app useful - it’s such a great tool! Ahh I bet your jewellery collection is beautiful! Love that that’s a part of your style!
I would probably seem pretty modest in the actual numbers of clothes that I own. And do wear. But I have probably 30-36 pr of shoes. And I’ve never even thought about the number of pieces of jewelry I have. I think I only have 6-7 purses. I occasionally think about counting my clothes but I really do wear everything I own at some time or other. I don’t own “trendy” pieces. I can and do wear the majority of my wardrobe from one yr to the next. I take really good care of my clothes and I do get rid of stuff at least once a yr.
I have around 150 items of main clothing, possibly a bit more as am still adding some things like jeans. I added a few accessories but not all to the app. But I never added any my casual/gym stuff (god that would take me well over 250 probably), nor are most of my shoes in there yet. I agree, its a scary number when you see it totalled. I’m also working through to make sure I use everything I have or need to let it go ehich I think is a brilliant way of using the app.
Absolutely! Getting clear on what you actually wear is so useful!
Thanx a lot dear.
Blue is bumped down, but so is black.
this is so interesting to go through, thank you for sharing! i was wondering what made you chose to switch over to indyx after using whering? i just started using whering myself a couple months ago, and am not sure what the differences are
Honestly, there's a couple of minor things I prefer about Indyx, like the more streamlined aesthetic. I think because my wardrobe is so colourful, I like that the app is simple so my clothes shine. I also was interested in the stylist services, even though it took me a while to pull the trigger and try it out! But mainly, Wearing kept crashing on me! Not all the time, but often enough for it to annoy me, especially when I was almost finished putting an outfit together and would have to start over! I don't know if that's still an issue, or one everyone experienced, but I've never had Indyx crash on me, so that's a big win. Without the crashing, I don't think I would've switched, though!
Ive been wanting to do this but I think I'm scared of how long it will take- How long did it takw you?
I feel like my style is pretty similar to yours but I do have a TON of t-shirts that I definitely don't wear as much but I also really like them
It took me a couple of weekends to get almost everything photographed and logged, so definitely a fair time investment. I know some people prefer to do it in smaller chunks.
my color breakdown is purple and black and 1 dak grays hat. thats it. i'm autistic and purple is my color. my phone and cane are also purple.
i have 1 shoes. i wear it summer when its too warm for them and winter when its too cold for them.
and i have 2 accessories, 1 necklace and 1 hat.
outer wear i have 1 maybe 2 jackets that are not also sweaters. in winter i layer to keep from freezing in europe at down to -20C but i have no typical "winterjacket".
bag i have 3, 2 are tote bags from book stores and my laptop bag pack.
i think i have also around 7 one pieces.
the others are hard to count for me and i cant keep up tracking. but i have shirts and pants in different sizes depending on if im gaining or shrinking at the time, because my weight is extremely unstable and changes between 40 and 65 kgs. so of those i cant always wear everything but i need everything. I also need to change my shirt and wash at least 2 times a day because i have POTS and that comes with excessively heavy sweating at even the lightest physical activity for me.
when i bought my stuff it was mostly new, but that was like 10 years ago, and im not anywhere near buying new stuff.
Lol I'm not even done uploading everything in my closet. And I'm over 200. I have a lot of jewelry and a huge scarf collection. It's wild to me that I have more clothes than you and I live in the road full time and cart my closet around the country. I guess my job involves having clothes, Renaissance faires, but some people on the Rennie road wear the same thing to work every weekend and i dont
I'm a smelly pits gal too, have to wash my shirts after one wear
I love how broken up this is. I use a spreadsheet that someone in the YT sewing community designed, so I can see the information on the page I log, but I cant pull stats out very well.
Yeah it’s definitely helpful to have that kind of info broken down!
Can you pull a pivot table from the spreadsheet you are using to quantify similar stats?
@@emilypotter67 I am not great with pivot tables, but I'm pretty sure I should be able to. I need to redo the spreadsheet in a separate file. I've tried adding some charts and stuff that I think should have worked, but no matter what I tried it wouldn't, and I think it is a compatibility problem due to regional differences because the one I'm using comes from a French creator. So like I have to use commas instead of periods or it throws errors, and I did a little bit of a look into it and Google sheets does function differently in different countries.
I don’t think you have an excessive closet I have triple the amount that’s excessive 😅 I’m a maximalist at heart but still my percentage are similar tops versus pants and my usage is also similar bags, shoes and blazers are my most worn also I’m from Canada so we really have extreme weather super hot and humid during summer and super cold during winter so we need very specific clothing for each seasons. And we f course winter shoes and coats cost way more than a spring coat
