looking fly on a dime thrift shoppingWhen it comes to fashion, there are some items every woman needs in her closet. These are the wardrobe staples that flatter all figures and work for every occasion of dressing. Though they're classic pieces and worth investing in, you can actually hit up your local thrift store for them. Actually, your thrift store is most likely overflowing with these items. And they won't set you back more than a few dollars.
It's always impossible to determine what a secondhand store will or won't have in stock, but I can assure you the majority of them have these five wardrobe staples on hand year round.

how to wear printsDuro Olowu is known for his heavily printed garments and that's exactly what the U.K. based designer is bringing to JCPenney. The jcp line features the same tribal, checkered and chevron prints, but not the high end price tag associated with the designer's usual line. With clothes, accessories and home items ranging from $10 to $100, this really is an affordable designer collaboration.

The collection hits stores on Friday and it's right on time as prints are still going strong and quite a few pieces embrace the hot new color combo of black and white.

natural hair careI rarely post beauty reviews and on the site {I typically leave brief recommendations for Instagram: @LookingFlyonaDime} but I had to change that up for a few reasons. I had a few of you comment on the mega bun I rocked during my last Today Show fashion segment. Some said it looked super moisturized and others just wanted to know how I managed to make it so big. I followed an easy tutorial on essence.com for the look. But as far as products, it was all about the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie.My hair is ultra dry but I've been using the smoothie for a while now on freshly washed hair or parched locs that need some extra TLC. It makes my hair manageable and sleek enough to put in a bun.While I'm a serious Shea Moisture convert when it comes to hair products {their Moisture Retention Shampoo and Deep Treatment Masque is also great}, it was only recently that I tried their body products.
