To Sum Things Up...

We all love the look good, but sometimes we don't have the time or energy to put in the effort to come up with a new and exciting outfit for each day. I personally love fashion and love dressing to impress but when I'm running late for class I'm forced to throw on sweatpants and a tshirt. That's why I have come up with the Outfit-Picker-Outer.

 The Outfit Picker Outer (OPO) is a software designed to help make choosing your outfit for the day easier than ever! By scanning your wardrobe using a camera or smartphone/tablet/etc., your clothes will be stored in the OPO's memory. When you purchase new clothing, you will be able to add it to your accounts memory as you get it. Each users account will be backed up in the cloud so that once they store their clothing in the OPO's memory, it will never be lost and they will always be able to retrieve it. They will also have the option to lock their account and make it private to protect their information if wanted.

Everybody has their own styles and types of fashion that they feel more comfortable in, and the OPO is aware of this. In order to make sure that the OPO can pick out the right outfit for each user, there will be surveys and simple yes or no questions to get a better understanding of how the user dresses. Along with this, the user will be able to tell the OPO what kind of occasion they will need to outfit for (i.e. class, interview, dinner) and it will pick out an outfit that is appropriate attire for whatever event it is needed for.

When I first came up with idea for the OPO, I imagined it being it's own machine. As the idea developed however, I decided it would be a better idea to have it as a software that could run on many different operating systems so that it would be more accessible to more users. The OPO website will also play a large role as it will allow different OPO users to communicate with each other. By having users share their favorite outfits with each other and exchanging ideas people will be able to get even more use out of the software and discover even more fashion trends that they enjoy.

To make this idea reality, I would need a team of workers with many different skills. Obviously somebody would need to write up the code for the software and make it work. I would also need people to create the website and make it possible for the users to interact along with someone to direct the social media aspects of the OPO like the facebook and twitter pages. We will also need to create advertisements to get our product out there and make it known to people because even with a great software that people will love, if people don't know about it then it can never get started!
