Post-pandemic life, with its return-to-office (RTO) dynamics, sparked in many of us a need or desire to elevate our style game. We found ourselves deep-diving into various subreddits, blogs, and too many Pinterest boards for inspiration, not to mention watching countless YouTube tutorials. It was an entertaining but often both frustrating and time-consuming experience. In the end, despite getting a ton of fashion insights, when it came down to finalizing a look, we craved validation from a knowledgeable source. A simple "yes, that looks great" or a cautious "are you sure about that combo?" would make all the difference. A quick browse through Reddit confirms we're not alone; many seek a second opinion on their ensemble, fit, or potential pairings. The craziness of ChatGPT turned one of us into an early adopter, treating it as a slightly confused but pretty knowledgeable fashion buddy. This journey was fun (albeit still somewhat frustrating and plenty time-intensive), involving an organization of images, spreadsheets, and documents to feed back to AI, catch its slip-ups, and debate its fashion suggestions. Nevertheless, the payoff was obvious. Compliments and style inquiries from friends and colleagues validated the approach, planting the seed for StyleSphere. We dedicated nights (or the wee hours of the morning), weekends, and "sick" days to develop a prototype within a few months. Today's StyleSphere is a minimalist version of our initial vision, designed to appeal to more than just a handful of friends who've already given it a go. Admittedly, the app is full of bugs - both anticipated and surprising.
