The year is winding down and before we head in to 2014, I want to know what you want. I just brought some new interns on board and am finalizing my editorial calendar, but I want and more importantly, need, to know what you guys want and need from Looking Fly on a Dime®.Maybe it's posting more often than my current three times a week. Or maybe you want me to start doing YouTube videos again. Want to see more hauls? Would you love to see readers showcasing their style? Do you think I should start covering other topics {beauty, DIY, home design, etc}?Well, this is your chance to tell me.

season to thrift shop, time of year to thrift shop

This weekend I continued my fall closet clean out and that included dropping off a huge bag of clothes and accessories to Goodwill.I have a large wicker basket from Home Goods that I purchased for $7 and every few months I add clothes to be donated. Well, it was finally time to drop them off and pass along the great secondhand karma, because as much as I thrift, it's important for me to give back.And I know there are tons of other people dropping off major donations as well. This is actually one of the best season's to thrift shop.
