StyleBook app review
This will be the best $3.99 you will ever spend on your sense of fashion. Stylebook’s app lets you do so much more than just organize your closet.

No, you can take photos of every piece of clothing that you own (it is recommended to take pictures of the clothes while they are on – so have a friend help) and store them as photos against a white background. You then have a full inventory of your choices all right in front of you ready to be made into outfits.
And that is exactly what you can do with these photos (which are all organized so lovely, by the way) – arrange them into outfits, just like you would see in a magazine. Your clothes will all be “laid out” in front of you in the app. Then, you can add each outfit to a date on your calendar for when you would like to wear it – and voila – truly organized and awesome fashion right at your fingertips 24/7.
