If there's a question I get often, it's "how do I dress stylish but still work appropriate?" I totally understand it. Well, kinda. I've always worked in a creative industry, so it's no out of the ordinary for colleagues to wear jeans, shorts and the latest trends to the office. But I completely understand that's not everyone's situation.However, even if you work in the strictest of offices, it's absolutely possible to dress on trend and be cubicle chic. Hopefully you already have your work wardrobe essentials, but the tip below is specifically if you want to incorporate the latest and hottest trends...without being reported to HR.Looking Fly on a Dime - how to dress on trend in the workplace

After doing a massive closet purge and clean out about two years ago {I ditched a fourth of my wardrobe!}, I realized a few things: I had too much stuff I never wore and I actually like wearing the same pieces over and over.When it comes to the latter, I'm totally fine with that. I know what I love, what works for my body type, my lifestyle and what just makes me smile every time I wear it. And for me, that means red. It's my power color and I totally didn't realize this until after I completed the Try It, Wear It, Love It style challenge.And if you want to pare your wardrobe down a bit or mix and match what you already have, it's totally easy to do.LookingFlyonaDimeThriftyThreads

It's February and besides being the second month of the year {and Black Panther comes out in a few days!!!!}, it means we survived the very first Try It, Wear It, Love It challenge. The 31-day style adventure had one intention: to open your eyes to your personal sense of style. You might be thinking, why would I need an eye opener about my style. It's mine, I know all about it. But you might be surprised by the amount of people who can't define their personal style {like, what words would you use to describe how you dress?} and others just feel intimidated by the mere thought of stepping in to their closet.looking-fly-on-a-dime-vintage-jeans-styling-tips

Woo hoo!!! The Try It, Wear It, Love It challenge has officially come to an end. The 31-day style challenge was all about helping people {self included!} try new things, have fun with their style and even learn something new about the process of getting dressed every day.I'll have a full recap to bring #TryWearLove to a close, but as of now, I wanted to touch on something that I see all to often. And something that I've even done in the past.Is your closet a reflection of who you are or who you want to be? Or who you think you are?Looking Fly on a Dime: Lulu's leather jacket

I love jeans. Like seriously, I could wear them every single day and never get tired of them. The versatility they offer is just unmatched. From skinny to flare to boyfriend style, there's a jean for every body. For the longest time I exclusively wore skinny jeans. They hug me in all the right places and are easy to dress up or down with the change of a shoe.
I still love my skinny jeans, but over the last two years, I've become a "mom jean" convert. Mom jeans usually have an extremely high waist, tapered leg and as I like to call it, a "long butt." So why would anyone wear them?!
Well, it's all in the styling. Below are a few tips on how to try a different cut of jeans.
