Even if you've just recently stumbled upon Living Fly on a Dime, you know I'm an avid thrifter and most of my thrifted finds come from Goodwill and occasionally, Housing Works. But last week I wanted to switch it up a bit. I learned that the Salvation Army has 50 percent off select items on Wednesday. So of course, I was there. The selection was out of this world {I went to the NYC location at 46th St. between 10th and 11th}. Clothes were organized by style and color. Furniture ranged from vintage-y pieces to modern chaise lounges. I walked away with 12 items (skirts, trench coat, pants, tops) for $44.

It’s Friday, so you know what that means…another installment of Thrifty Threads, where I showcase my thrifted and/or cheap chic finds. No matter what the cost, you can always create a look that’s fun and fly. I know some people despise jeggings but I adore them. Jeans + leggings = sartorial heaven for me. They're just as versatile as jeans (dress them up or down depending on your footwear) and as comfy as leggings. I had to run errands for the day so I needed a look that was functional...
