Can Pinterest drive you nutz? For sure! Can Pinterest help you look good? Absolutely! Can Pinterest save you money? I'm sure.......The DIY projects are great on there- BUT I'm finding I myself can save on my clothing spending by using my pinterest. AM I crazy- a little bit- but it's not the worse habit I could have!
So here's what I do- I pin stuff/outfits I like and then I create a board of outfits I know I want to wear someday. Some outfits are for weddings or parties and others are just for whatever. Then I create a board for myself to have (a hard copy). With the hard copy I can actually look through what I already have and check them off. So then when I'm out shopping I have an idea of the pieces I need to complete outfits. Being that my outfits are for some day I have more time to browse and get the best price. I can also go to the sales rack with an item in mind.
Here's an example of one of my boards
The items with the smile face are the things I know I already have. Like the red dress- I bought that for $12 for Rob's birthday party and I love it with the polka dot shoes- BUT I haven't found a pair I like for the price I like. I'm in no rush so I'm still keeping them in mind. There are some other things I may have, if not I may have something pretty similar that gets the point across.
I even post things I would like to make the cream skirt and green belt/sash- I just love that outfit- but finding a skirt like that would be hard. You can even pin hairstyles and make-up ideas.
It's fun to try new things and sometimes pinning can be overwhelming so I find that organizing it a step further helps this scatter brain! :)
Here's a couple of my other boards~
