If you’ve been following my channel, you’ll know I’ve been on a mission to find the ultimate wardrobe-organizing app. From exploring Stylebook, Pureple, and Acloset to deep-diving into Whering, Cladwell, and Style DNA, I’ve tried them all, putting their features, styling tools, and outfit generators to the test.
Each app has brought something unique to the table, but today, I’m taking on Indyx, a wardrobe app with a twist: the ability to hire a personal stylist to curate a custom lookbook just for you.
In Part One of this series (you can watch the video version below), I walk through a complete Indyx app review, from uploading your wardrobe and logging your outfits to exploring how the built-in stylist features fit into the process. Then, in Part Two, I put the Lookbook stylist experience to the test. I share my full Lookbook review, including the outfits my stylist created and how well they worked for my lifestyle. If you’re curious to see how the whole process comes together, this combined post takes you through both parts start to finish.
In-Depth Indyx App Review
Before we dive into the outfits, let’s take a closer look at how Indyx works. This app takes wardrobe organization to the next level, offering a streamlined system to catalog your clothing, track your wardrobe stats, and even get personalized styling advice. I’ll walk you through the process of uploading items, how the app categorizes them, and the unique features it offers.
And of course, we’ll explore the standout feature: hiring a personal stylist to create a custom lookbook. So, let’s jump into the nitty-gritty and see what sets Indyx apart from the other wardrobe apps I’ve tried!
To start with, let’s talk about pricing and setup. The Indyx app is free to download and use, which gives you access to the core features like uploading your wardrobe and organising your items. Compared to other wardrobe apps I’ve tried, it runs smoothly, is free of ads, and has a really clean, user-friendly interface.
For more advanced tools, there’s a paid Insider subscription. This unlocks extra features like a wardrobe analytics dashboard with stats on your closet’s composition, usage, and cost-per-wear; unlimited outfit selfies to log your daily looks; and a thumbnail overview mode that makes it faster and easier to build and visualise outfits at a glance.
You also get high-resolution image viewing so you can see your closet in greater detail, and Social Styling, which lets you get outfit advice from friends or fellow Indyx users. On top of that, you can join the private Slack community for advice and support, and receive 10% off stylist services like the Lookbook.
The Insider subscription costs $119.99 AUD per year or $18.99 AUD per month, but you can still use the app for free if those advanced features aren’t essential for you. Now, let’s dive into how the app works and what you can expect from the setup process.
Indyx is organized with 5 main menus located at the bottom of the app; Explore, Connect, Your Wardrobe, Style and Profile, each offering different features to enhance your wardrobe and styling experience. Here’s a quick breakdown of each one:
Explore
Let’s dive into the Explore section, which is packed with resources and tools to help you refine your style and get the most out of the Indyx app.
At the top, you’ll find two standout features:
Style Quiz
The Style Quiz is a great starting point for defining your personal style. It consists of a series of questions where you choose outfits that resonate with you most, helping to put language around your style preferences. Based on your answers, the quiz will suggest three style words that it thinks describe you best. However, the app goes one step further and provides a massive list of additional style words in the same vein, allowing you to choose the three words that resonate most with you. It’s a great way to begin your style journey and discover your style archetypes.
Style Workshop
The Style Workshop is an 8-week email series designed to help you define your true personal style. Every Saturday, you’ll receive a new email packed with tips and exercises to guide you through the process. I personally participated in this, and while I’d already done a lot of this type of work before, I found it to be a great introduction to the app. It’s especially useful for beginners looking to establish a clearer understanding of their style and how to approach curating their wardrobe.
As you scroll further down in the Explore section, you’ll come across several other helpful resources:
Learn About Features
Here, you can get detailed insights into the app’s features, such as the Insider, Item, Outfit, Referral, Calendar, The Feed, and Open Closet. Each feature is explained through videos and written content to help you understand how to use them effectively. These videos give a helpful breakdown of how to navigate the app and maximize its potential.
Articles
If you want to dive even deeper into topics like Style and Sustainability, there’s a wealth of articles available to read. These articles can give you additional context on the style philosophy behind Indyx, tips for building a sustainable wardrobe, and other interesting insights related to personal style.
In this section, you get a great mix of self-paced learning and useful tools, all designed to help you refine your personal style and make the most of your wardrobe. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been on this journey for a while, there’s plenty of value to be found here.
Connect
Now, let’s move on to the Connect menu, which is where you can interact with other users and gain inspiration from their wardrobes.
In the Connect section, you get access to an overview of other users’ Open Closets. Each profile includes a profile picture, their name, location, and their 3 style words, which helps you identify individuals whose style resonates with you. This feature makes it easy to connect with like-minded users and explore their wardrobes for fresh ideas.
If you find a profile or wardrobe that you really like, you can pin it to your own collection by tapping the pin icon in the top right corner. This lets you save the profiles that inspire you the most so you can refer back to them whenever you need some style guidance.
Once you’re inside someone’s closet, you can browse all their items and outfits. This is a great way to get a closer look at how others style their pieces and to gather new outfit ideas. If you come across an item you really love, you can tap the bell icon to be notified if that user ever decides to sell it, giving you a chance to purchase it when it becomes available.
In the Outfits section, you can favourite any looks you love by tapping the heart icon, which makes it easy to keep track of outfits that you find inspiring or want to recreate.
At the top of each profile, you can also find links to their social media profiles, allowing you to follow them outside of the app if you want more style inspiration.
To make browsing even easier, there’s a filter option (the hamburger menu in the top right corner) that lets you search through profiles by Style Archetype. This way, you can find profiles whose styles align with yours and discover new wardrobes that reflect your taste.
Your Wardrobe
In the Wardrobe section, you can add all your clothing items using the plus icon at the bottom. When adding items to your wardrobe, the Indyx app automatically removes the background from your photos, making it look clean and streamlined.
To get the best results, it’s recommended to capture each item in a flat lay position by laying it down and taking the photo directly above. This ensures the app can best process and organize your pieces. However, I still prefer to use images of the items being worn, as it gives me a better sense of how they look in real life and allows me to easily visualize the outfits I’ve created.
The Outfits tab allows you to create outfits from your pieces. The Collections tab helps you create packing lists, shopping lists, or capsule wardrobes. In the top right corner, you’ll find two icons: the calendar to log your daily outfits as well as individual pieces (available for everyone) and add daily outfit selfies (Only for Insiders) , and the stats icon, which provides data-driven insights into your wardrobe (also exclusive to Insiders).
If you’re an Insider, you can also drag and drop items or view a bird’s-eye view of your wardrobe for easier access. Without an Insider subscription, you’ll need to scroll, filter, or search to find your items and outfits which can be challenging and time consuming. There’s no option to get outfits styled for you unless you purchase a personal styling package.
Within each item in your wardrobe, you can see the outfits that piece has been styled in, helping you visualize how it works with your other items. You can also add detailed information such as the purchase price, original price, whether it was secondhand, times worn, date purchased, brand, color, size, material, and condition.
Additionally, you can give each item a custom name, which can make it easier to search for later. You can also tag items by season, visibility, or other custom hashtags, which helps with organizing and finding items in your digital closet without having to scroll through everything. This level of detail makes it easy to stay organized and track the life cycle of each piece in your wardrobe.
Style
Next, let’s explore the Style section, where you can book a variety of personal styling services to elevate your wardrobe and make styling decisions easier.
The Lookbook
If you’re looking for something a bit more detailed, The Lookbook is priced at $150+ per lookbook (again, depending on the stylist you select). With this service, you get 10 outfits styled entirely from your own closet, or with a few new suggestions mixed in. Each outfit comes with styling notes that provide tips and tricks to really bring each look to life.
The Catalog
Lastly, if you’re looking to fully organize and archive your wardrobe, The Catalog is available for $295+ per 100 items. An Indyx wardrobe archivist will visit your home at a convenient time for you and professionally catalog up to 100 items within 5 hours. This service includes beautiful flat-lay photos and detailed information, capturing each item’s brand, size, color, and category. It’s a great way to get your closet organized and visually documented for future reference.
Profile
Lastly, the Profile section is where you manage your account settings. Here, you can adjust your wardrobe analytics, update your Insider membership, and access your style hub, which takes you directly to the Style menu.
You can also use the referral feature to invite friends and contact the Indyx team for support. Additionally, you can change your currency in the wardrobe settings, making it easy to adjust for international users. This section keeps all your settings and account management in one convenient place.
App Final Thoughts
Overall, Indyx is a thoughtfully designed, user-friendly wardrobe app that really stands out in a crowded field. I love how intuitive the layout is, and that it’s free of ads or clunky navigation, something I can’t say for a lot of the other apps I’ve tested!
Some of my favourite features include the style quiz that helps you define your personal style in three words, the social styling option that lets you interact with friends or browse other users’ wardrobes for inspiration, and of course, the ability to hire a stylist directly within the app, which I do below.
In terms of improvements, there are just a few small things I’d love to see. Within the Outfits tab, it would be really helpful to have customisable occasion categories, like casual, work, or activewear, to make it easier to sort and filter. You can kind of do this through Capsules in the Collections section, but that’s a few extra steps and doesn’t feel quite as intuitive.
I’d also love to see multi-upload functionality added. It would make the wardrobe setup process much faster, since right now you have to add one photo at a time. And while we’re at it, having a broader range of colour options to tag your items would be a great bonus too.
Another area that could use some fine-tuning is the outfit builder interface. While it’s definitely better now with the layer adjustment buttons, it can still be fiddly, especially when trying to resize smaller items like jewellery. The bounding boxes can get in the way, and I often end up dragging the wrong item instead of the one I intended to select.
And one more small tweak: when adding outfits to the calendar, it would be handy if the outfit photo automatically became the cover image, rather than having to set it manually each time.
As for the Insider subscription, I’ll admit the nearly $20 AUD/month price tag gave me pause. I do wish there were some flexible tiers or the option to unlock just a few of the premium features. That said, even if you choose to stick with the free version, I still think Indyx is absolutely worth the download and worth the time it takes to upload your wardrobe. The value you get out of seeing your closet visually laid out, creating outfits, and logging what you wear is genuinely helpful and can completely change the way you approach your style.
I’ve been really impressed so far, and I’m excited to see how the stylist experience stacks up.
The Lookbook
Now that we’ve covered how the full Indyx App Review and how it works, let’s dive into the stylist experience, specifically, the Lookbook service. This is one of several paid styling options within the app, and it gives you 10 personalised outfits created by a professional stylist using your actual wardrobe. If you’d prefer to watch this breakdown instead, the Lookbook video is linked below.
I chose to trial this feature using some of the most challenging pieces in my closet, items I wasn’t sure whether to keep or donate. My hope was that seeing them styled in new, creative ways would help me decide.
I chose stylist Aimee Rancer to put together my outfits, yes, Aimee styling Amy, I know, try to keep up! The Lookbook service cost $170 USD, which ended up being about $260 AUD for me. I placed my order on Monday, June 16, and received my completed Lookbook back on June 25, so the turnaround time was around 9 days. Once you book your Lookbook, the stylist schedules you in and lets you know when you can expect it to arrive.
When placing the order, you’re asked to complete a quiz that covers what you’d like to get out of the experience, your style preferences, and the specific items you want styled. I chose five pieces from my wardrobe that I’ve been unsure about, kind of on the fence about whether I should keep or donate them.
Here are the five items I submitted:
– Grey plaid trousers – I love them in theory, but the mid-rise fit makes them a bit tricky.
– Burgundy tweed blazer – It’s possibly a little dated, but I have a few looks I like with it already. I wanted to see if it could be styled in more modern or unexpected ways.
– Blue and gold statement heels – They’re super cool and unique, but those colours don’t feature much in my wardrobe. I usually just style them with black.
– Muted pink and purple long sleeve dress – I thrifted this one because it’s in the soft summer colour palette, which I’m leaning into lately, but I’ve struggled to make it feel “me.”
– Grey plaid peplum top – It caught my eye as something different, but again, I’ve found it hard to work into my wardrobe.
In the quiz, I also ticked the box that allowed the stylist to show me a few new items in case I was missing something essential. I added my three style words, Feminine, Unexpected, and Bohemian, which I chose from my earlier style quiz. There’s an option to link your social accounts, which I did, just so the stylist could get a fuller picture of my personal style.
And finally, in the “Anything else you’d like to tell your stylist?” section, here’s exactly what I wrote:
“These pieces are all ones I’m unsure if they have a place in my wardrobe going forward and have found a little hard to style myself. I love layering, pattern mixing, unexpected combos, unique colours etc. I’d love to lean more on the maximalist end of the spectrum. At the moment I’m looking at purging some of the more basic items that are watering down my closet and replacing with pieces that have that uniqueness to them in some way.
I’m currently enjoying leaning into the soft summer colour palette but will wear any colour! I am a mum of a 2 year old toddler so comfort and practicality is still key on days I’m home with him but I also work 3 days a week at a TV channel and the vibes are very creative there. That’s where I get my heels in. I can wear most things to work, just nothing super short. So you can style for either of those occasions. I love your style so I’m sure I’ll love your outfits. TIA!”
They also recommend updating your style preferences before ordering, just so they have the most accurate info.
When I received my Lookbook, it came with a summary, kind of like a personal letter from the stylist explaining her thought process and the choices she made. Here’s what Aimee wrote:
“Hi Amy!
First and foremost, thank you so much for scheduling a Lookbook. It truly means the world!
I had so much fun putting these outfits together, and honestly, I was blown away by what’s already in your wardrobe. You’ve got such a unique mix of pieces, playful, expressive, and full of personality, so I didn’t feel like you needed anything new at all. But if you’d still like some fresh recommendations, I’d be happy to share!
I really wanted to honour everything you mentioned, from your love of layering and unexpected combos, to leaning into more maximalist, standout looks. I also kept comfort in mind (shoutout to toddler life!) while making sure the outfits still feel fun and wearable, whether you’re heading into the TV studio or running around town.
I made a point to style the pieces you called out in fresh, creative ways, and gave you dressed-up and dressed-down options where I could. I hope you feel excited by all the possibilities in your wardrobe.
Can’t wait to hear what you think!”
– Aimee
And with that, let’s take a look at the outfits she created for me!
Outfit 01
This was the very first outfit I saw when I opened my Lookbook, and to be completely honest, I was fully prepared for this to be a total disaster. At first glance, I just didn’t feel like the top, pants, and shoes went together at all. It felt a little random, and I couldn’t see the vision.
But then I actually put it on… and to my surprise, it all kind of worked! I’m not quite sure how Aimee saw it, because I really couldn’t until it was on my body. The navy-blue tones in the printed top unexpectedly pulled in the colour of the shoes. And since the pants are wide-leg, half the shoe is hidden anyway, making the contrast less stark. The shoes themselves even lean a bit purple-blue in real life, which helped them blend in more than I expected.
Even the green heels, Aimee’s second shoe option for this look, weren’t as jarring as I thought they’d be. Once I looked closer, I noticed subtle green hues in the print of the top that helped them feel just coordinated enough. They looked completely out of place in the outfit montage, but somehow worked better in real life.
One detail I’m still on the fence about is how the top sits with the pants. It’s a little cropped and hits at kind of an awkward spot on the waistband. For work, I ended up layering a nude singlet underneath to smooth things out and feel a bit more covered.
Also, I’m not quite sure I’d wear this outfit without the black leather jacket. It just seemed to pull the whole look together and added that final element that made it feel more like me.
All in all, a very unexpected win and a good reminder that sometimes you just have to try things on to see the magic happen.
Outfit 02
I’ll be honest, this was one of the outfits I wasn’t particularly excited about when I first saw it in the Lookbook montage. I felt like I’d worn the burgundy blazer with these flared jeans before, and it just didn’t spark anything new. It looked a bit too masculine for my taste and didn’t feel all that exciting. I even tried it on and was pretty much ready to write it off.
But then… I curled my hair and popped on my glasses, just my everyday prescription glasses, which I don’t usually include in styled looks and suddenly, the whole vibe shifted. With those two small changes, the outfit started giving off a cute, academic aesthetic. It had this slightly preppy, bookish charm that I actually found appealing.
Aimee had suggested three different shoe options and two bag options for this look. I tested out the black boots with the black crossbody bag, but that combination felt a bit heavy and didn’t quite work for me. I ended up liking the lighter pairings better.
The nude heels with the white clutch were probably my favourite from a styling perspective, but since it was just a casual day with the kids, I went with the pink sneakers and skipped the bag altogether, since I was already carrying the trusty diaper bag. No need to double up!
In the end, this outfit surprised me. It’s not one I would’ve gravitated toward, but with the right styling touches, it came together in a way I didn’t expect. That said, I’m still not sure I’d repeat this exact combination unless my hair was done in a cute, feminine way to help balance out the masculine elements. It’s a good reminder of how much those little styling details can completely change the feel of a look.
Outfit 03
This outfit features the grey grid peplum top, one I’ve really struggled to style in the past. But I have to say, this outfit is definitely cute! Aimee gave me two shoe options again: either the black chunky loafers with lace socks or my thigh-high boots. I tried both, but ultimately went with the boots because… my legs were freezing! Practicality wins.
I was a little unsure about the silver belt worn over the top at first. I thought it might create an odd silhouette paired with the skirt but once it was on, I actually quite liked how it pulled everything together. It added a nice touch of contrast and made the outfit feel more styled.
That said, even though I like the outfit overall, I’m still not convinced about keeping the top. If I’m being honest, I think I’d already mentally let it go before getting the Lookbook. While this outfit is a great example of how it can work, one good look isn’t quite enough to earn it a permanent spot in my wardrobe.
Outfit 04
This outfit features the grey plaid pants I’ve been struggling with, mainly because they’re mid-rise and I’m very much a high-rise girly. At first glance, I could’ve sworn I’d styled these pants with this same top, coat, and pair of heels before. But after checking through my Stylebook and past outfits, I realised it was similar but not quite the same.
I had worn the coat and heels with a white button up and blue sweater in the past, and this similar look is actually saved in the Indyx app already. (Before requesting my Lookbook, I tried to input all the outfit combinations I’d already tried so the stylist could see what I’d done with each piece already.)
So while it gave me a strong sense of déjà vu, it actually was a fresh take, especially Aimee’s spin on it, which I appreciated.
Aimee gave me two shoe options, and I initially thought I’d go with the sock booties since it’s a cold day and I’m all about keeping as much skin covered as possible right now. Plus, I’d previously worn the pumps with this coat and pants. But after trying the sock booties, I realised they kind of swallowed the pants’ lace hem detail which is actually my favourite part of these trousers. So I ended up going with the black pumps again to show that off.
I liked the overall look. It felt polished and cohesive. I wouldn’t have personally chosen the necklace or earrings, but they weren’t bad at all. The reference photo in the Lookbook shows the top worn off the shoulders, which is a beautiful styling option. I can see how the statement necklace would work well with that neckline. But for work, with outerwear and the cooler weather, the shoulders naturally sit higher, and I found the necklace competed a bit with the top’s neckline. Of course, Aimee wouldn’t have known that.
One small thing: when pairing this top with these pants, there’s just a tiny gap of skin that shows, which isn’t ideal for me (again, the problem with mid-rise!). It’s nothing major, I just found myself pulling up the pants and tugging the top down all day. That’s not something that could have been predicted from a flatlay, though, and definitely isn’t a dealbreaker.
I ended up making a few tiny tweaks to feel more “me”: I added another silver ring to the same hand as the one Aimee had suggested, just to make the look a bit more intentional. I also popped on my Apple Watch with a white and silver band to tie in. I completely forgot to film the burgundy sunglasses she included which I did find a little random. I didn’t dislike them, but they felt a touch out of place with the rest of the outfit.
All in all, I like this look. It’s clean, put-together, and something I probably could’ve come up with myself (and kind of already had!), but I still appreciated the nudge to revisit it. The accessories weren’t exactly what I would have picked, but they gave me new ideas, and that’s really the whole point of doing something like this.
Outfit 05
Aimee also styled the grey plaid pants in a more dressed-down version and this outfit definitely felt more unique and playful! She included five different shoe options with it, which is both amazing and a little overwhelming. How do you choose?
I really liked the idea of the colour-block heels paired with the cardigan and bag. It’s a fun combination. But since this outfit features a crop top, it’s not work-appropriate, and there’s no way I’m wearing heels like that on a home day. Out of the remaining options, I ended up choosing the ballet flats. They’re practical and they show off the lace hem of the pants, which I think is one of their best features.
Now, let’s talk about that crop top. We need to address the elephant in the room: the dreaded mid-rise. These pants would be perfect if they were high-rise! I love everything else about them, but with the crop top, there was just a lot of tummy on show, definitely more than I’m personally comfortable with.
Plus, it was chilly and my stomach was freezing! If I were to wear this look again, I’d probably swap the crop top for something a little longer, like my square-neck black singlet bodysuit, which would still keep the vibe but make it feel a bit more wearable for me.
On a positive note, I was so happy to see that Aimee included these earrings. They were a Mother’s Day gift from my daughter this year, and they’ve actually been a bit tricky to style. I love wearing them, though, and it felt really special to see them pop up in this look.
So, has Aimee convinced me to keep the pants? I’m still kind of on the fence. I want to love them and I do in theory but the mid-rise really limits how comfortable or versatile they feel on me. I think I need to experiment a little more and see if I can learn to work with them, or if it’s time to let them go.
Outfit 06
Aimee styled my muted pink and purple dress in a couple of different ways, and this first look pairs it with my cosy knit cardigan and gold accessories. Once again, she gave me a couple of shoe options: my black and cream Chelsea boots, or my brown suede knee-high heeled boots. I initially leaned toward the knee-highs for extra warmth and leg coverage, but after trying both on, I actually preferred the Chelsea boots. The tan brown of the knee-highs didn’t quite blend as nicely with the cardigan and darker brown of the bag. It just didn’t feel as cohesive.
Aimee also suggested tying the printed scarf in my hair, which I did attempt, but the fabric was so silky it kept slipping out! In the end, I tied it to my bag instead, which I think suits me better anyway and I still love the pop of print it adds.
Overall, this outfit felt a little underwhelming when I first saw it in the app, but in real life I actually really liked it. That said, I did make a few tweaks before heading out to wear it. I added my olive anorak jacket over the cardigan for extra warmth, swapped my socks for longer white ones to peek out of the top of the boots (not a huge difference in coverage, but it helps), added a beige knit beanie, and switched the brown bag and scarf for my beige slouchy bag, which I felt better matched the colours and mood of the look.
It turned out to be a really cute and practical outfit for the cooler weather, soft, layered, and easy to wear with a few personal touches to make it my own.
Outfit 07
This is the second outfit Aimee styled using my muted pink and purple dress, and this one really leans into the pink tones. It’s bright, bold, and full of personality and honestly, I think it’s super cute!
Aimee gave me two great shoe options: my pink metallic sneakers and my white ankle boots. The sneakers give it a fun, playful vibe that would be perfect for a mum day, comfy, practical, and still stylish. The white boots elevate the whole vibe just enough to make it work-friendly or ideal for a more styled-up day out. Both work beautifully, but I ended up going with the white boots to balance the pink and tie in with the white accents in the earrings.
Speaking of accessories, I loved the addition of the burgundy sunglasses. At first, I wasn’t sure how they’d fit in with all the pink, but they actually gave the outfit a nice bit of contrast and depth. It’s a small detail, but it really helped the whole look feel more intentional and interesting.
Overall, this outfit is fun, feminine, and feels really true to my style. Between this and the cosier version from Outfit 05, I now have two fresh ways to wear this dress and that’s enough to give it a well-earned reprise in my wardrobe.
Outfit 08
This was one of those outfits I liked straight away. It’s really cute, but still feels interesting and unique, exactly the kind of mix I’m always looking for. Aimee added some fun little touches like the bandana, statement earrings, and a stacked bracelet look, which gave it personality without feeling overdone.
The only downside was that it was still a bit chilly for winter, and the heeled boots made it feel a little too dressed-up for a casual home day. At the same time, it didn’t quite feel like a typical workday outfit either. It sort of sat in this in-between zone.
I ended up wearing it on a day when I took the day off to pick up the kids, since my husband was away, but spent most of the day solo getting my hair done. So the heeled boots? Totally fine when you’re sitting in a hairdresser’s chair all day! Although, that did mean the bandana had to come off which was a little sad, because it was such a fun touch.
Outfit 09
This was another look where I struggled to see the vision straight away. At first glance, it felt a bit chaotic, the colourful shoes, bags, and accessories all laid out together made it seem a little clashy and overwhelming. I know Aimee didn’t intend for me to wear everything at once, but just seeing it all together on the page made it hard to picture how it would actually come together.
I didn’t film every variation (there were quite a few!), but I did try all three shoe options and both handbags. To my surprise, none of them actually clashed as much as I expected. In fact, most combinations worked reasonably well!
My favourite pairing ended up being the orange, teal, and pink heels with the floral clutch and the wide cream straw belt. I debated between that and the gold chain belt, but I went with the straw one because it’s not something I would’ve thought to wear with these pants and I really liked how it tied the look together.
That said, the outfit as a whole did lean quite warm-toned and orange, which isn’t my most flattering colour. Even my makeup had to be adjusted. I originally went with warm, orangey tones to match the outfit, but they looked terrible on me, so I had to tone it down with pinks and cool browns instead.
Would I wear this exact combination again? Probably not. But it definitely had a high-fashion, playful energy to it, and it pushed me to consider pairings I wouldn’t have reached for on my own. So while it may not be a new go-to, it definitely sparked some inspiration—which is exactly what I was hoping for from this Lookbook.
Outfit 10
I was really looking forward to wearing this one. It’s just so fun and cute! The mix of pinks, purples, and creams is very much my vibe, and I was excited to see how it would come together in real life.
As usual, Aimee gave me a couple of shoe options: the cream and gold chunky loafers or the white knee-high boots. I actually liked the tone of the boots a little better. They had a crispness that felt really fresh with the colour palette but since I was wearing the outfit for a more casual day, the loafers were the more practical choice. Both worked well though, so it was nice to have options!
One detail that threw me a little was the purple bag. In the Indyx images, it looks like a perfect match with the cardigan, but in real life it leans a bit more blue-purple than I expected. That said, it still worked, especially because there are some blue tones in the skirt. Still, I think I’d personally switch it out for my soft pink crossbody bag, which would tie in really nicely with the rest of the look.
The top needed an extra layer underneath, so I wore my plain white square-neck singlet. In hindsight, a more nude-toned pink one might have blended better with the overall colour scheme, but it still worked.
Overall, I really loved this outfit and would definitely wear it again! It felt feminine, coordinated, and creative, exactly the kind of outfit that makes me feel like myself. It was a little chilly for winter though, so I secretly layered some leggings underneath the skirt for warmth. Also, I wasn’t sure if Aimee meant for me to wear both the cardigan and the coat together or choose between them, but since it was cold, I layered both and honestly, I think it worked!
Outfit 11
Yes, this is Outfit 11 in a Lookbook that’s technically only supposed to include 10 outfits so it was really lovely of Aimee to include a bonus look!
You might also notice… we’ve briefly time-travelled back to before I had my hair done! I filmed this one before heading to the hairdresser, so we’re wrapping things up with my “old” hair.
As for the outfit itself, this one was probably one of my least favourites from the bunch. It’s not a bad outfit at all. I felt perfectly fine wearing it, and everything ties together well but it didn’t feel particularly exciting or like a strong expression of my personal style. It leans a little too polished and corporate for me, which isn’t really a space I naturally gravitate toward.
One detail I did find interesting was the mix of metals: silver earrings and a silver handbag, paired with a gold belt buckle and gold coin necklace. I don’t typically mix metals, but because there were two elements of each, it felt intentional and actually worked really well.
There were three shoe options again: black ballet flats, black patent pumps, and my nude textured kitten heels. The ballet flats felt a bit too casual for the look, but the other two were fine. Still, none of the variations shifted how I felt about the overall vibe.
In the end, it just didn’t feel like something I’d choose to wear when I really want to show up as myself. And that’s totally okay! Not every outfit has to be a favourite. Aimee did a fantastic job with the Lookbook overall, and even though this wasn’t a hit for me, I still appreciated the thought and styling behind it.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I was really impressed with the Lookbook experience. Aimee did such a great job of understanding my style, and I genuinely appreciated the creativity she brought to each outfit. Even the looks that weren’t exactly my favourites still gave me fresh styling ideas or showed me new ways to wear pieces I already own.
In the Indyx app, you can rate each outfit with either a heart (love), a smiley face (like), or a frowny face (dislike), and out of the 11 outfits, I ended up giving two hearts, one to the pink floral look and one to the blue and white pinafore outfit. I did give a frowny face to the final, more corporate outfit, not because it was bad, but simply because it didn’t feel like me and didn’t offer new styling inspiration. Everything else earned a smiley!
You can also give individual feedback on each outfit, which I think is such a great feature, especially if you continue working with the same stylist. It gives them a chance to get to know your preferences even more, and tailor their suggestions better over time.
Yes, the Lookbook is a bit of an investment, and I definitely paused before committing but considering the amount of thought, effort, and time that goes into creating personalised looks based on your real wardrobe, it feels fair. For me, the most valuable part was the fresh perspective. You can easily get stuck thinking certain pieces only go with certain things, and having someone push you out of that mindset is both inspiring and motivating.
It also helped me make some tough decisions. I ended up choosing to donate the burgundy blazer, the grey plaid peplum top, and the blue marble shirt. But the plaid mid-rise trousers and the pink and purple dress have earned themselves a second chance thanks to some of the outfits Aimee styled.
I’d definitely recommend trying a Lookbook, especially if you’re feeling a bit stuck with your style or looking for fresh eyes on your wardrobe. I’m actually planning to try another Indyx stylist service in the future but next time, I won’t restrict Aimee to just the tricky pieces I’m unsure about. I’d love to see what she could come up with when she has free rein to play with my whole closet!
Let me know which outfit was your favourite, and if you’d consider trying something like this yourself.
