*taps mic* Oh hi, hello there. Yes, I know it's been forever since I've posted. Actually it's exactly three months. I'll get to the why a bit later, including sharing what the new direction of Looking Fly on a Dime will be. In the meantime...I think we can all agree that wearing an item of clothing once and then never again is a bit silly. Well, I mean unless it's formal wear that's solely intended for a special occasion. But for every day wear, it's all about remixing your favorite items in a new and even unexpected way.I made a recent appearance on New York Live to show how easy it is to remix your favorite dress and make it look completely new.Target-Wild-Fable-metallic-strapless-dress

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

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

Ah, the button down shirt. Pretty much everyone has at least one in their closet and you can find them at pretty much every, any store. And understandably so. The style is a classic.But while you might wear a button down in the traditional way {buttoned down!}, you can absolutely have fun and remix it. You can even turn a button down into a trendy crop top and even a halter. Don't believe me? I'm showing you how. And it's ridiculously easy.Black printed button down shirt styled as a crop top
