People-stylewatch-shop-smart-patrice-j-williams-style-expertIf you're following my social media accounts {Instagram, Twitter and Facebook}, then you already know I'm in the September issue of People StyleWatch. *insert happy dance*I've been obsessed with StyleWatch since they launched a few years ago, so offering my shopping tips was a dream come true. They asked me to share my top thrift tips and the timing couldn't have been better.

Looking Fly on a Dime: how to cut an oversized shirt
Let me start off by saying I'm so not the DIY person. Though I love the idea of do-it-yourself projects, sometimes the process has too many steps and is so intimidating, I give up before I even start. So that's why when I actually do anything DIY related, it's insanely easy.
I always find cheap t-shirts while thrift shopping and sometimes they have really fun designs or cute sayings. Unfortunately, they tend to be oversized. That's why I love the idea of DIY projects for shirts that are your style but not necessarily perfect for your shape.
Check out 5 ways to cut an oversized t-shirt.

Thrifty Threads 365 is a fashion challenge where I will only thrift shop for an entire year. I’ll show you how it’s easy and wallet friendly to satisfy your style needs with secondhand finds. For full details check the original post here. 
Thrifty Threads 365: No New Clothes for a Year!
Earlier this week the East coast finally had a respite from the massive inches of snow,  but then it began to rain. Don't get me wrong, I'll take rain over snow, but both elements can really put a damper on your style game and especially your footwear.
Luckily I have a few go-to looks and boots for snowy, slushy and/or rainy days. When I need to put the heels away but don't want a clunky wellies, I step into my zigzag vintage boots I scored for less than $10 from the Salvation Army.

affordable style, thrift shopping blog

I've been blogging for four years now and I can admit, things tend to get a bit stale. So that's why last week I asked you guys to take a short reader survey {you can still take it, here} to get a better idea of what you like, dislike or want more of.Combined with a few of the results and some ideas I've been playing around with, I wanted to share what's new for Looking Fly on a Dime® in 2014.
