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

Does August 17 mean anything to you?! Any special meaning? It's National Thrift Shop Day. Yes, that's actually a thing and it's pretty awesome. It's been almost eight years since I started blogging {sheesh!} and since then, the thrift shopping scene has certainly changed. It's no longer taboo or "dirty" for people to shop secondhand. Instead, thrift shopping is now seen as an affordable, eco-chic way to upgrade your style.Yes, some thrift store prices are getting a bit expensive. And that's pretty annoying. But I'm happy to see people using thrift shops as a way to learn about their individual sense of style and embrace new-to-you garments.Because it's National Thrift Shop Day, that means you can find tons of savings at your local stores. Here's what you need to know.Goodwill shopping with Looking Fly on a Dime - National Thrift Shop Day

I try to thrift shop in every city and country I visit. Besides finding unique pieces, it's also nice to see the different looks and feels of thrift stores. So when I had a few days in Nashville, inevitably thrifting was on the menu. Since I didn't have much time, I knew getting major bang for my thrift buck was the key. After quick research I was so happy to find that a Goodwill Outlet was just a short ride away.If you've never been to an outlet, then you need to visit. Unlike your average thrift shop, the outlets price items by the pound versus individual pieces. But that also means the crowd can be a bit competitive.But I was ready to see what the Nashville Goodwill Outlet had to offer.Goodwill Nashville Goodwill outlet store

I'm not a huge online shopper. If I had a choice between adding items to my cart or going in store? I'd choose a visit to the store eight times out of ten. But there's been a shopping site I've been dying to try. It's Wish. You've probably heard of them. They sell clothes, shoes, accessories and pretty much everything at an affordable price. And when I say affordable, some items are a few bucks and others are even free. Yes, free!But of course there's a catch. While the clothes are cheap, you have to pay for shipping for each individual item {versus one shipping rate for an entire order}. Also, the quality is a crap shoot.So, I figured why not? Let me give it a shot, right? It's time for another What's In Store feature. Here's what I found on Wish, plus a few tips.Looking Fly on a Dime: striped culotte jumpsuit

I pride myself on being prepared. At all times. Also, I enjoy a good theme party and go all out for one. So imagine how shocked I was when I had a 007 theme party to go to and nothing to wear??? If you've been following me on Instagram, then you know a few weeks ago I went to Club Getaway, which is an adult summer camp. Yes, it was as amazing as it sounds. Tons of leisure time, thrilling activities, parties, food and more. And because we're adults, there were drinks.But I totally didn't realize the theme for Saturday night's party was 007. I missed that email. I had a black romper I packed with me so I guess I could have made that work, but I was so ticked off I wouldn't have a great 'fit.And then the heavens opened up!TJ-maxx-looking-fly-on-a-dime-connecticut
