looking-fly-on-a-dime-thrifty-threads-boot-cut-jeans-denizen-jeansI'm a skinny jean lover, so I was a bit surprised when bootcut jeans started to trend. But, I'm here for them! They're actually a nice departure from the skinnies. And last month I found a perfect pair.Like most women, I kinda hate shopping for jeans. My dilemma is they're too long and/or I have gaping at the waist. But whether you're a size 2 or 20, it just seems difficult to find the one.But these Denizen bootcut jeans from Target fit perfectly. No tailoring needed and less than $30!

Two weeks ago I made my way to Atlanta for their annual Fabulous event, where the store's vendors talk about the products they have in store. From hair to makeup to fashion, there more close to two dozen brands on hand and they all had amazing products that are sold at Family Dollar.
Below are a few of my favorite moments from the event, as well as products I think you might love.

Well, this was one of those experiences where "you get what you pay for."If you've ever been curious about a budget airline like Spirit or Frontier, keep reading to see the pros, cons and how to fly as comfortably as possible if you do go this route.

looking-fly-on-a-dime-thrift-shopping-haul-thrift-haul I've been mentioning my awesome, epic thrift shopping trip for the past two weeks and promising a haul video. Well, here she is!You've already seen how I styled a few of the pieces {like yesterday's Old Navy skirt and last week's sheer black maxi from Zara}. But here are the other items I found during my recent trip to the Salvation Army, including a statement making LBD, chunky fall sweaters and vintage gems for less than $10.

looking-fly-on-a-dime-thrifty-threads-midi-skirt-with-a-split Sometimes you find a garment that just blows you away. Maybe it's the actual garment and sometimes it's your disbelief that a certain store carries such a cute piece.That's what happened when I went thrift shopping two weeks ago. I found this cobalt blue full midi skirt and fell in love. It was the color. The cut. The knee length split. And I was amazed to discover it was from Old Navy. Yes, Old Navy! I've never shopped at Old Navy {besides their dollar flip flops}, but I was surprised such a chic piece originated in their store.
