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...
