I like the idea. Conceptually, it reminds me of another site I worked on in the past, http://www.weardrobe.com http://www.weardrobe.com. On first glance though, I thought it was a spammy affiliate marketing site for clothing. If not for the fact that it was posted here on HN, I probably would not have looked long enough to realize I was wrong. Does it simply make money through affiliate links to Amazon? Can users only post articles of clothing that are sold through Amazon? Also, the hover effect for the images on the homepage makes my cursor a crosshair. Definitely fix that, I reloaded my page a couple times thinking it was some sort of browser bug. Then I tried it in a couple other browsers and realized it's the site itself.

Awesome feedback. Had a problem with port 443, and so the experience was broken. Would you mind trying again and re-evaluate?

The intended way to make money at first is through affiliates program at Amazon. We did wanted to expand selection to other sites and even for items freely created by the user. That's in the future, there was enough to do just getting the Amazon content. The idea is that as a login user you can create your own outfit. Other users can suggest better items either in lieu of existing ones or additional ones. As a set owner you can choose to show the suggested items. Some of the features are not visible until you log in. I'm thinking that this should change, and instead make the non-logged user conted ephemeral, with a reasonable TTL. Regarding the cross hair cursor, it was intended to make the user think the area was actionable, but perhaps that is a turnoff. It's hard to add a link to the set there without making the display more crowded and clutter the display.

  What's wrong with the pointer cursor to make it obvious the image is a link on hover?
