“In the media, we’re constantly taught to over consume clothing. When fast fashion websites have a new drop every week, it’s difficult to determine how long a piece will actually last in your wardrobe before hitting the bottom of your closet floor. I think it’s important to mention you can still overconsume clothing, even if it is in a sustainable way such as thrift shopping or buying off second-hand websites. Whenever I’m shopping for a new item, I try to look at each individual piece and come up with at least 5-10 different ways I can style it and incorporate it into everyday wear. For online shopping, I usually hold off a couple of weeks on buying an item until I’m completely sure that I still like it and didn’t gravitate towards it just because it’s something I saw on the internet.”
“Pinpointing exactly what you like about ‘trendy’ items can help you develop your own personal style. Also, at the rate that trends come in and out of style, what you probably already own will be trendy again in no time. I'd recommend holding onto some of your favorite items from last season, even if others disagree with what you’re wearing now.”
