Jen’s Making Fake Outfits
Does anybody else spend hours browsing on shopping web sites and filling carts with items that he or she would buy if only they weren’t outrageously overpriced. Well there’s a great new web site that makes this habit much less pathetic.
www.polyvore.com is fricking awesome. Basically it opens with a blank dashboard that you can use to make up outfits and then post them for other people to vote on. All of the items you can choose from are real and easily purchased from a number of different web sites. When you actually like something, you can save it to “your items” which means in some distant future when your income doubles you can actually go back into your bin and actually purchase something you’ve long admired.
Another cool part of this —and this is heavily influenced by the fact that I’m cleaning out my closet this week—is that you can recreate outfits that you do have and keep a record to prevent horrible hurried mornings.
