Compensation was provided by Nissan via Mode Media.looking-fly-on-a-dime-nissan-altima-having-it-all Let me start out by saying I don't believe in the idea of "having it all," especially not at the same time. But I do firmly believe in having the best you can afford. That mindset is exactly why I started Looking Fly on a Dime® five years ago. From traveling on a budget to looking my best in spite of making little to no money in NYC, I'm a firm believer that your best has nothing to do with your wallet.Here are a few ways you can have it all, even when your budget is limited.

 style-equation-winter-weather-dressing-cold-weather-dressing-what-to-wear-when-its-cold It's Fashion Week here in New York and though this should be the time of high style, I'm seeing some sartorial choices that have left me scratching my head. Style is totally personal and we can all rock what we want, but I'm absolutely baffled by women who are foregoing warmth for style. The temperatures are below zero, but I've seen fashionistas in open toe sandals and light layers. Um, no!
Ladies, style and warmth can coexist. I previously did a Style Equation feature {quick fashion combos that make it easy to get dressed!} last year, but now is the time to resurrect it. Check out the 5 style essentials you need to get dressed in the cold weather. I promise, you'll be warm and cute!

shopping-budget-thrifty-threads-365-looking-fly-on-a-dime Thrifty Threads 365 ended almost two months ago for me. Though I successfully gave up shopping for new clothes for an entire year, I was curious to see how I would adjust post-TT365.Would I go on a shopping spree? Would I just stick to thrifting because department store prices would give me sticker shock? How much would I spend?Well, it's been an interesting journey so far..

diy-accessory-storage-easy-diy-broken-jewelry I absolutely hate throwing anything away. Seriously, before I toss something in the trash, my first question is, "can I use this for something else?"That thinking led me to upcycle my broken jewelry and create a storage solution for my collection of necklaces. Check out how I reused broken brooches, necklaces and rings as a way to hang necklaces. It's the easiest DIY project ever.
