How to Make a Fashion Wardrobe Book
A closet overflowing with fashionable clothing doesn't necessarily mean the owner feels confident in selecting an outfit to wear. In fact, the more clothing people own, the more difficult it can be to find an ensemble. A shirt bought on sale or a random splurge, the story doesn't matter once it hits the closet and is lost in a sea of opportunity. To solve this problem, create a fashion wardrobe book to showcase outfits you created in advance from your wardrobe, making it simple to find that perfect outfit every time.

1
Review the clothing in your wardrobe. Identify clothing and accessory items that fit or are functional in your wardrobe. Create complete outfits using the clothing and accessories you own. Remember to include shoes, jewelry and bags. Some items may be used multiple times. Be creative and try paring different items up. You may be surprised by some of the outfits you are able to put together.

2
Photograph the outfits. You can take photographs of yourself wearing the outfits, have a friend take photos for you, take pictures of individual clothing items or style outfits onto a mannequin and take photos.
Print the photos. If taking pictures of individual items, create complete outfits using the individual photos.

Organize outfits. Organize by theme and appropriate location (casual weekend, work clothing, party, wear at home or workout), as well as by season. For outfits that fit more than one category, consider making a duplicate copy of the photo and placing one in each section.

Place photos in a book with sleeves so you can slide photos of outfits into the book, and easily replace them with new outfits when you retire a clothing item or no longer like the outfit. Divide the book up using tabs, page markers or dividers and label them to make it easy to find outfits for specific themes or seasons.

5
Add notes to the book to include important details about outfits. If you want to remember that you wore a specific cocktail dress to an event, write it down. If you want to wear specific socks with a pair of trousers and they're not shown in the photo, write it down. Notes can be added on sticky notes, labels or by inserting them into their own sleeves.
