Smart Closet

Teach kids, teens and adults the value of a dollar through creating a virtual replica of their closet. It can be used to make smarter shopping decisions and estimate the value of your closet.

Detailed Description:
Create a website, iphone application and facebook app where anyone can create a fantasy closet or their real closet and decorate it. As items are added into the closet, they are added up and the total can be displayed. Kids today do not realize how expensive their closets are. There could be a close sale (like yard sale) where adults 18 and over can sale their closet close. When they are shopping they can pull up their real closet and see if that shoe will match that outfit. Smarter shoppers will make smarter decisions. Kids can use it to build their fantasy closet and see how much it would cost. If big clothing department stores participated, real clothing inventory could be used.
