A few weeks ago I traveled to Belize and had an amazing time. I didn't really have any plans to visit the Central American country until a wallet friendly flight came across my Twitter timeline.Not only do I dress on a budget but I travel on one as well. And I even came in under budget with this trip! Here's how you can, too, even if your funds are limited. 
Last week I made my third appearance on the Today Show, but it was my first time appearing alongside Kathie Lee and Hoda. I always love their energy and was excited to stand alongside this duo.And anytime I can combine two loves {fashion and travel}, it's always a good thing! This particular segment was all about jet setting in style and travel hacks {similar to my how to pack a carry-on post}.From convertible fashion and accessories to the must haves that make your flight as comfortable as possible, I shared the affordable items you absolutely need. If you missed the segment, check it out {and some behind the scenes photos!} below. Also, I'm sharing details on the romper I wore, since I received so many requests! 
You ever feel like you were born in the wrong decade? That's how I felt when I found this gem of a jumpsuit. Why couldn't I wear this amazing garment to party at Studio 54?!Oh well, that era has passed, but I can still rock this cobalt blue jumpsuit now. And to think, I almost passed on this $5 beauty! 
Am I bougie? I wouldn't exactly say so. But am I particular and a bit anal retentive? Yes and yes! While hostels get a bad rap for being dirty, overcrowded and requiring a serious sacrifice in personal space, it's possible to have a great experience in one even if you're used to living the suite life.
Remember when I suggested you should always start with the accessories when you thrift shop? Well, I follow that same strategy when I want to shop smarter, not harder and it certainly paid off.Last month I scored awesome jewelry and shoes from the thrift shop and I wanted to share them with you. Also, I'm dishing on a few tips to sanitize secondhand shoes.
