I have a confession: I don’t love online shopping. I’m more of an in-store shopper. I like to touch and feel and more importantly, try things on so I know if the sizing is just right. Returns are just such a hassle.Every now and then I’ll find some online winners, like the cute swimsuits from my Zaful haul. But there can also be some misses, like my shopping review for Wish.com. Again, there are always hits and misses, so I prefer shopping in person.But if there’s one site I’ve consistently shopped from, it has to be Amazon. I usually buy last minute random things {gotta love that Prime shipping!}, but when it comes to clothes, I haven’t always been so quick to add items to my cart. There was this killer $7 off the shoulder dress I purchased two years ago and recently I made another purchase.It’s a basic garment, but a winner. Like, I love it so much I’m ordering more colors.

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

investment pieces

When it comes to clothing, you know I'm all about saving a buck when I can. I refuse to pay full price for anything and thrift stores are my preferred method of shopping. But some pieces are worth the investment. I've never been one to spend a ton on trends {they come and go so quickly!}, but classic pieces that can be worn for years to come are deserving of a few extra pennies.
But how do you know what classifies as a classic? They're the clothes and accessories that play well with everything in your closet and are appropriate for most, if not all, occasions. And even if you choose to spend more cash than usual on these pieces, that doesn't mean you have to break the bank.
Check out five wardrobe staples worth investing in.
