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

Most of us put some effort into what we wear on a daily basis. I mean, we’re heading out to work, running errands or meeting with friends or loved ones. So you wanna look your best and rep your style, right?Something interesting has started happening to me. Over the past few months, I’ve been focused on what I wear to bed. Yes, bed. I even have a bottom drawer in my dresser that’s solely devoted to loungewear and the first few hangers on my clothing rack are for displaying vintage robes.At first I felt a little silly, but then I realized we all need a feel-good night time routine and for me, that involves wearing what makes me feel great and relaxed.

After doing a massive closet purge and clean out about two years ago {I ditched a fourth of my wardrobe!}, I realized a few things: I had too much stuff I never wore and I actually like wearing the same pieces over and over.When it comes to the latter, I'm totally fine with that. I know what I love, what works for my body type, my lifestyle and what just makes me smile every time I wear it. And for me, that means red. It's my power color and I totally didn't realize this until after I completed the Try It, Wear It, Love It style challenge.And if you want to pare your wardrobe down a bit or mix and match what you already have, it's totally easy to do.LookingFlyonaDimeThriftyThreads

Earlier this month, Target, my beloved bullseye boutique debuted a new collection and it's kind of a big deal. I mean, who doesn't love Target?! But this line in particular was a really exciting venture because per usual, it's affordable, but more importantly, every garment in the collection goes up to a size 26 {versus just some items being plus}. Also, there's a heavy focus on denim, which is an item most women find difficult to shop for {check out Fitting Room Tips to Find the Best Jeans...after you're done reading this!}.
Of course it was my civic fashion duty to check out the Universal Thread line in person, try on pieces and report back the absolute pros and a few cons. Here's another What's In Store.
