Blog Anniversary + Giveaway – CLOSED


Can you believe it’s already September? Yup, another summer flew right by. Oh, and September 1 is also the two year blogiversary of Looking Fly on a Dime.

Of course I want to say thanks to all of my awesome readers. Whether you’ve been down with the blog for a few years or just discovered it, you’re appreciated more than you know. I started the blog without any clear intentions but it’s evolved in to something I’m so proud of. I truly enjoy sharing my love of thrifting and budget fashion.

I’m excited for what the future holds for Looking Fly on a Dime. My episode of the Nate Berkus show airs this month {I’ll let you know when I have the exact air date} and I have some other things in the works I know you’ll love.

Yesterday I showed you the amazing finds I scored at Loehmann’s and the great folks at the department store were gracious enough to provide me with a giveaway.

Accessories are a girl’s best friend so I chose an awesome set of black and gold bangles from Amrita Singh. The bangles will look great worn together or just a few at a time.

    I’d love to see how you’ve “remixed” pieces you’ve shown us before, e.g. how one piece works in different outfits.  Also, maybe some more “shop your closet” posts? 
    To be eligible to win the set of bangles do we have to tweet in addition to our comments?  I think I may be one of the last holdouts, but I don’t have a Twitter account yet!  Also, congratulations on your two-year blogiversary!  This is a really inspiring and fun blog 🙂  Although I’ve been thrifting for gosh, over a decade now (I started with my mom in elementary school), thanks to you, I’ve started exploring city thrift shops I’d never known about before.   So, keep up all the great thriftiness, and here’s to many more fruitful years!

    I would love to learn about more places to thrift shop. As well as how to value items correctly. Some “thrift stores” are too expensive, how do you justify pricing?

    I would like to see more about closet staples…the LBD being the only one I can think of at the moment. I wouldn’t mind seeing a maternity special too…having TONS of trouble finding inexpensive (ok, thrifted) maternity stuff. There will be one tiny little rack with all sizes that don’t fit in every store I’ve tried.

    I would love to see more styling of pieces, such as one shirt, three ways, and more ways to thrift professional clothes. I am a senior in college and need to stay on a really tight budget, even thrifting, so finding pieces that can be worn multiple ways, as well as will be able to boost the professional side of my wardrobe is vital.  [[ http://twitter.com/#!/KamariaThornton/status/109357678899376128 ]]

    Thanks for the opportunity!

    Seriously, this is one of my favorite blogs- I enjoy the reviews, the info on sales and new collections, and especially the hauls.

    Some ideas?  How about demos on shopping the trends each season- it’s possible, but sometimes hard to do at thrift stores.  But really, I enjoy everything!
