Oh I must have missed it. How cute! German Shepherd is highly intelligent!We've probably talked it to death in Chat, but he's a German Shepherd. Actually, kind of like Sharknado.

Ooh, I need to share a neat shortcut for StyleApp - I have multiple basic white/grey/black/navy T's and I mostly use them interchangeably so I took a picture of just one in each colour, and I use it to indicate any. It has eliminated a bit of hassle of identifying one over the other plain black T. Hope this helps some of you who have been finding the inventory process daunting.
Another tip: If you are wearing an outfit that is similar to one you've worn before - instead of going through all your looks, go into the closet, select one of the main items, and then click on the 'data entry' square-with-pen icon on lower left, Then in the 'used in xx outfits,' you can see all the looks that include that item - there you can either clone or select the entire look to enter into your calendar. Holy shortcut, because I hated looking through a hundred looks to find one specific one.
For entering the data: I also found it helpful to tackle categories - only dresses, or only winter jackets etc. They don't have to look instagram worthy, you can always retake the shot later and replace the image.
I also don't always fill my calendar every day - but I do go back and try to add them when I can.

^^ sounds like a big undertaking. I admire the effort.
I would LOVE to have a digital resource for my clothing. I have zero motivation to create one. I need a personal assistant. 
It's very helpful when I'm considering purchasing yet another spring jacket or pair of sandals - I can see that I already have a dozen+.
Then again it also shows me I only have 2 pairs of closed toe non-boot footwear.

I'm saving it too Genie. I have my backdrop ready to go. I'm saving the chore for a rainy or snowy weekend when I have free time. After I finish my filing.
Now that I weeded out a lot I think I can manage it. I will probably continue to log my modeling shots in cloth too. It's helpful for me to see the photos. I'll scroll through them when I'm bored waiting for an appointment. With time and distance I can evaluate what's working for me and what isn't. I try to think "what would Tim Gunn say?" Several of my silk tees were shapeless and not doing me any favors. Off to the guest room closet they went. And I confirmed that I was wearing my skirts an inch or two too long. So off to the tailor they went.

Yes, I use cloth as well - quick snap at the door before I leave the apartment, or for a complex outfit - it's been useful to document and look up old outfits especially when seasons change and one forgets what shoe matched what skirt. Both these apps have made it easier to switch seasons, instead of my usual floundering mess for the first month after the weather changes.
I get into a groove in each season, where all my clothes work smoothly together, and then it all comes crashing down after 4 months. I don't have time for this - I want to be able to throw some clothes on in 5 minutes and still look somewhat pulled together.

The most difficult thing for me is packing for a warm weather vacation while it's still winter here. I completely forget what I have and how to dress.
Ok, I'm going to sound like the crazy app salesperson: I used the packing List tab on the app to create a 'resort' and 'summer vacation' packing list of clothes and looks. It was useful in the dead of winter when I didn't think I needed flip flops in Mexico, as I could not fathom being warm.
@prepster I saw your post about your friend finding her new bag on the eBay resellers thread. Great news. I wonder if it's coincidence that she had just texted her SA about going another route. I really think some SAs hold things to see how much they can extort from a customer.....errrr.....I mean build the relationship [emoji23] before they hand over the bag. We will never know but it seems like quite a coincidence to me. I prefer to shop at stores that don't play games. But all is well that ends well. Glad she got her bag.
I have found that having some set pieces to wear on vacation is the easiest way to pack. Last year we took a couple of two week trips and I essentially packed the same things for both trips. I have another big trip coming up and I think that will have pretty much the same things. i don't like to have too much clothing especially when I am moving to different cities/hotels. I pick one color palette and try to stick to it. I don't feel I have to dress to impress so if I look boring, that's life. I would rather not spend my time thinking about what I will be wearing when I have to get up really early for day trips or transiting. That all being said, I HAVE to take a pair of Chanel two tone shoes and one Chanel jacket lol! One good bag that works for day or night and I am done!
