A neighborhood clothing swap is coming up, so I am making a small checklist before browsing the tables. Previously I brought home several interesting pieces, but none of them worked especially well with the clothes I already had. My first step is photographing the jeans, jackets and skirts I actually wear so I have something concrete to compare. For organizing the color side, I have been exploring color analysis as a loose guide, while leaving room for a piece that simply works with several things in my wardrobe. Should my checklist name a few colors, or describe a specific missing layer that would improve the outfits I already wear? Trying things on should be possible, although artificial lighting means I do not want to rely entirely on how shades appear. How do you decide whether a promising secondhand piece will earn a place in your regular outfits once you get home?
