Why I Love Polyvore
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted! It was summer back then, but now the highs are in the 30s and it’s a brand new year! So much has happened. I’ve sent my second child off to college, started a new job and discovered a new obsession: Polyvore!!!
Polyvore, for those of you who don’t know, is a wonderful app for fashion junkies like me. It’s a one-stop shop for virtually all things style. With it you can shop, create looks and get inspiration/tips from others who’ve got great style sense. Imagine: you’ve got a big event/important occasion and don’t know what to wear. Download the app (or sign-in via the website), type “red shoes” or “pantsuit” in the search field (whatever you’re on the hunt for), and a bevy of options pop up! Or, if you have no idea what look you want, you can follow style-savvy citizens who post looks they’ve created and get inspiration or direction that way. Any occasion, any price point, any item. And it’s not just clothing or apparel. There are ideas for home decor as well! It’s that simple. Can you believe it??! Style ideas AND where to find the looks you love, all at your fingertips. #Winning!
Of all the benefits and conveniences of the app, though, I think I love the “Create” feature most. It allows me to develop looks from every price point imaginable. It gives the stylist in me a creative outlet without necessarily breaking the bank. It’s like shopping with an unlimited budget without actually spending a dime. You can go high end or stick to a more conservative price point. I’ve created looks, mixing pieces that cost thousands with items that are under $50. Nothing is off limits. Gotta love that!;) If I find a piece that I’m in love with and that fits my budget (that last part is critical), I can click the link which takes me directly to the site where I can make the purchase and have it shipped. Voila. No lines, no hassle. It’s exhilarating:)
Here are a few looks I’ve put together over the last few months:
