This is pretty similar to fashmatch.com, except a little more flexible. It's an interesting concept, but I'm not sure if it adds a lot more value vs. other social shopping sites like thisnext and stylehive. Building a user base will likely also be tough due to (I think) saturation in the market.

I clicked on a few things that were interest, and nearly all of them were no longer being displayed on the original website, or were sold out. Especially if they're depending on affiliate commissions to supplement income, this is something they'll have to figure out how to address. Depending on the level of interest though, they'd be smart to offer sponsored sets to present current (in-stock) inventory from selected merchant partners Nice, but they have to overcome the same problem as other shopping sites which is monitoring stock levels.
