No, this isn't about marrying your clothes!
 
The simple benefit of adding a date stamp to your outfits is: '''you can easily keep a history of how your avatar's appearance has evolved'''. Maybe today that doesn't seem like such a big thing, but trust me, looking back in a year from now, you'll be amazed at how far you've come.
 
One of the easiest ways to do this is after you click the '''Save Outfit''' button (in the '''My Appearance''' sidebar tab), append the date at the beginning. Torley prefers the <code>YYYY-MM-DD</code> format, also known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 ISO 8601].
 
Or, you can always rename an outfit later by right-clicking it. But by doing it at the beginning, you don't have to worry about maintenance later, as minor as it may be.
 
== Doesn't Second Life do this automatically? ==
 
Not yet, no. While the inventory system keeps track of when ''specific items'' are ''created'' or ''acquired'', folders, unlike items, don't have such properties.
