The idea of finding new ways to style clothing you already own saved me during my month of no shopping. For advice, I turned to fashion influencer Ida Giancola, a strong advocate of timeless consumption and not buying into trends from social media. Her shopping and consumption patterns didn’t change overnight; she had to actively work at purchasing less clothing.
“If I find an amazing piece, I just try to wear it over and over, because why not,” she told POPSUGAR. “I try not to scroll too much on TikTok, so Pinterest I really, really like.”
Using Pinterest to her advantage, Giancola talked about how the app helped her find inspiration for new outfits using pieces she already owned. “I [thought], I have jeans like that. How can I style [them] similarly? And go from there. It’s like basically doubling your closet without spending the money to do so.”
