I know so many people who still believe the outdated style advice that you can’t wear white after Labor Day. But we know that’s not true, right? Right! It’s never about what color you wear, it’s always about the material. White linen pants in the winter? No way! But white denim or a knit skirt? Yup. Here’s how I styled the white skirt I recently scored from Strawberry. I paired it with my cheap chic finds, including my thrifted Dior coat for a fun winter look.

Thrifty Threads 365 ended almost two months ago for me. Though I successfully gave up shopping for new clothes for an entire year, I was curious to see how I would adjust post-TT365. Would I go on a shopping spree? Would I just stick to thrifting because department store prices would give me sticker shock? How much would I spend? Well, it’s been an interesting journey so far..

It’s cold in New York. Let me add it’s cold and there’s snow on the ground. Though we dodged a blizzard this week, it’s still pretty frigid out. A few weeks ago I told you about the importance of a statement winter coat and it’s the only garment you need to buy this season. Well, I’ll add winter accessories to the list as well. These are the add-ons that will keep you warm and chic! Oh, and since my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge is over, I finally went...

  1. I love bright colors 2. I’m fairly short {5’2″} 3. I love wearing a monochromatic bright look, which makes me appear taller. I’ve been absolutely obsessed with the vintage Christian Dior coat I thrifted from the Salvation Army coat sale. Basically, I’ve worn it almost every day since buying it in December. And the coat was an integral part in a recent look. Keep reading to see the other thrifty threads I rocked and how a monochromatic style can make you appear taller.

If you’ve been a steady Looking Fly on a Dime reader, then you probably know I love the combination of fur and leather. For a recent outfit I paired two of my thrift faves {Old Navy leather jacket and H&M fur collar} on a day that was chilly but not frigid. And I kept the thrift love going with a little black and white action. Mixing prints can be tricky, but I have an effortless solution for that!
