Charting Your Closet
June 15, 2009

They say there is a website for everything. And we believe them, especially when we heard about www.myclothingcalendar.com.

This is the idea of a Hillsborough couple who that that we over-consumers need a place to keep track of what we wore yesterday, and the day before—besides the dry cleaning bin and the closet floor.

Andrea and Matthew Wolkofsky, both with sales backgrounds and fulltime careers, launched the Clothing Calendar website as a tool to “stretch out your wardrobe.”

The idea is you catalog what you wore to each event, from a night out with friends to a job interview. You can also upload photos of the outfit. As you buy clothing, you also add the descriptions and photos to your virtual closet.

“Believe it or not,” Andrea wrote, “this was my husbands’ idea. He would always forget what outfit he wore the last time he met with a client and he wanted to give off the appearance that he is well maintained and he dresses well.”

The Wolkofskys are busy people, raising two young children, two full-time jobs, and now this website. But they believe the simple act of cataloging your wardrobe, will ultimately help you save time, and most importantly, money.

No more buying the same item of clothing two or three times –who is not guilty of bringing home the same simple black tee three times?

Plus, Andrea says, they are working on a mobile application: “ If you are shopping at Macy’s and see a pair of black pants, you can easily and quickly pull up your closet and see that you already own the same pair!”

The couple hopes that eventually advertisers, especially retailers, will love the idea. In the meantime, it’s a cool way to keep track of all your stuff, and keep you from wearing the same clothes in front of the same people.

Now, if we could only snoop in our friends’ closets—to be sure they won’t be wearing the same thing we are to the same event we’re all attending.
