New looks, old wardrobe?

As soon as I read this, I thought of the scene in Clueless where Cher tries on her outfits has Polaroids taken of herself!

OMG I totally forgot about that!

I used the idea when I was doing an independent film and had seven wardrobe changes. The scenes were shot over a few different days, and I had to know exactly what I wore (clothes, shoes, accessories, hair, makeup) if I were working on a scene I had already worked on. I had the wardrobe stylist email pics to me so I can have a cheat sheet (I provided 90% of my wardrobe) and know what to pack for the day's shoot.

There's also a new TLC show with Trinny and Susannah from UK's "What Not to Wear", called "Making over America." Part of their service is to take pics of the different outfits they put together, and stick them to the wall. I think it's a great idea.

Your suggestions are spot on, and you are too right about Trinny and Susannah. I loved them back when they did the original "what not to wear"...they are so much better than Stacey and Clinton.
