Q: Did you misspell purple? Why did you name the app Pureple?
A: No. Well, yes and no. Although it’s not uncommon we misspell certain words, purple was not one of them. We had to misspell it to be able to register a domain name (www.pureple.com) as purple.com was taken long ago. Purple is the color our daughter, then 4 year old, was fascinated with. We wanted to include her to this new night and weekend project mom & dad is talking about passionately for hours. Now 6 years old, she draws some of the art we use in marketing. Soon you might see some on the blog.
Q: Is it the movie ‘Clueless’ what inspired you for writing Pureple?
A: No, we wish we did watch ‘Clueless’ before writing Pureple. We found out about it from dear Pureplers after Pureple was released. Then we watched the Cher’s closet scene over and over. It’s so much fun to be associated with.
Q: Now a serious question. What sets Pureple apart from other similar apps?
A: Two among others raises to the top:
Q: Do you use Pureple yourself?
A: Yes! We all do. Last I checked, I had 481 items and hundreds of outfits in my Pureple closet. With kids and busy work, that’s the only way I am able to plan my outfits. It helped me realize that first, I have too much items, most of them unused, yet, if I could find/see the right item at right time, I’d love to use them. Next, even though I am an organization freak, I both lack the time and a big enough closet to perfectly organize. With the technology we have right now, it is not only super easy digitally, it is also possible to organize in incredible ways e.g. all the different ways I can wear an item. Now I can get out of the house feeling pretty good about how I look even if I had only 5 minutes.

As spring approaches fast, most of us will find ourself editing our wardrobes. While the old good rules of let go of the items that no longer fit, that are stained or show other kind of wear or tear e.g, holes or piles, here are three additional questions to help take wardrobe editing further:
1- Do I love it?
2- Is it flattering?
3- Is it inline with the image I’d like to present, who I am, what I want to be?
Ultimate goal: a more organized wardrobe that better expresses ourselves, communicates a clearer message to the world and save precious minutes from our morning routine.
Happy spring :)

Tips on taking photos for closet
You can easily delete item(s) in your closet via these two ways:
How can I set or change the category of an item?
Categories are generally intended to describe the function of an item. It can be high level e.g. ‘Top’, ‘Bottom’, ‘Shoes’ or can be more specific e.g. ‘Sandals’, ‘Pumps’, Sneakers’. Pureple comes with the most common fundamental categories defined. You can add your own categories (as many as you need) to suit your needs. You can also delete any category that you do not need.
When you add an item to your wardrobe from web, it is listed as ‘Not Categorized’. To set or edit the category of the item, there are two ways:
If the category for the item is missing from the default list, you can add it by tapping on ‘Add’ at the bottom of the list. Please see ‘How to add a custom category’ below for details. You can also delete unwanted category names here by tapping ‘Delete’ and then selecting category name to be deleted.
While categories are intended mainly for ‘function’, there is no restriction if you’d like to use them for a custom reason e.g. wishlist, inspiration, … to make it work for you.
How can I add a custom category e.g. for Sweaters?
You can create a custom category for ‘Hair Styles’ and another for ‘Sweaters’ (another for jewelry etc..). To create a custom category, please:
