Thrifty Threads 365 is a fashion challenge where I will only thrift shop for an entire year. I'll show you how it's easy and wallet friendly to satisfy your style needs with secondhand finds. For full details check the original post here.

Remember my last thrift store haul when I found these leather, rubber sole booties? I immediately scooped them up because I knew they'd be perfect, especially for winter. Flats are for easy walking and stilettos can be tricky, but a rubber sole bootie is stylish and easy to navigate slippery terrain.
I finally took the booties for a spin last week when the streets of NYC were slushy.

affordable style, thrift shopping blog

I've been blogging for four years now and I can admit, things tend to get a bit stale. So that's why last week I asked you guys to take a short reader survey {you can still take it, here} to get a better idea of what you like, dislike or want more of.Combined with a few of the results and some ideas I've been playing around with, I wanted to share what's new for Looking Fly on a Dime® in 2014.

I'm pretty much addicted to my phone. Like most people, my phone acts as an appendage. Sometimes I hate how connected I am at times. But it feels like a necessary evil when I'm blogging on the go, turning in assignments and of course taking the occasional selfie or Instagramming a yummy meal. But what I really hate is a sky-high phone bill.So I was excited to hear about the debut of Aio Wireless. The brand launched in select cities earlier this year and they offer something a lot of wireless providers lack: hassle free service, sleek products and major affordability. Their plans range from $40-$70, which includes all {yes, all!} taxes and fees, so you always know how much your bill will be.

reader survey, audience survey

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.
