Calling All Polyvore Enthusiasts!

Hello there lovelies!

Now, if any of you are like me, and completely obsessed with Polyvore, I've got big news for you. There's yet another website where we can now waste our time/procrastinate by making lots of crazy outfits. Only this one lets you put them on actual people! Well you know, assuming that actual people are tall, skinny and perfectly proportioned. Anyway, it lets you put the clothes on mannequins with faces at the least. Welcome to Looklet! (I know I know, I'm far too excited about a website that lets me dress people up.)

It's a pretty sweet set up - you can choose between different models and backgrounds, put different faces on the models, and have a bit of flexibility in the way that items are worn. You can put jackets on your models open, or buttoned up, put boots over or under the jeans and a whole lot of cool shit like that. It gives you a great deal of versatility to design outfits, and see how they might look when they're being worn.

On the "con" side of things, Looklet does have far less items to choose from than Polyvore. But, they are a newer website and seem to be updating their selection fairly often, so this may change in the future. I also think they could do with having more diverse models to choose from - perhaps an option to change their size/body shape? - as putting clothes on these girls will really give me no idea how they'll look on me, as my body shape is completely different.

Still, despite these drawbacks I've still spent an entire morning on this website. If you check it out, you can find me here.

Until next time, xo.
