looking-fly-on-a-dime-thrifty-threadsSometimes I just don't know what to wear. And by sometimes, I mean a lot of times. Though I have a closet full of awesome thrifted clothes, getting dressed can still be so tough. Since I typically find myself scratching my head over what to wear, I have a few style formulas that I rely on. When it comes to weekend wear, I tend to stick to: cardigan + skinny jeans + flat boots = effortless chic weekend style. And of course I throw in an accessory or two.
Keep reading to see my fail proof formula for creating a simple, yet polished weekend look and how you can win a pair of the Skechers flat boots I'm wearing.

How to Rock the Hottest Color of the Season
Last week's Oscars meant the end to red carpet season and if there's one thing we know for sure {besides the fact that Lupita Nyong'o is a goddess!}, it's that emerald green is a hue for all complexions.
I have to admit, I wasn't always a big fan of green. I don't hate it, but I can count the number of green items in my closet on one hand and still have two fingers left over.
But this season we saw women of every color showing love to the deep green. From Lupita's deep complexion to Sandra Bullock's fair skin, every woman can go green. And I found some affordable pieces to make it easy and offer inspiration.

Looking Fly on a Dime patrice williams, blogiversary

Based on the title you can tell what today's post is about. It's my four year blogiversary!! On September 1, 2009 I started this blog and had no idea what it would lead to. I had been laid off from my job at InStyle magazine and just needed a creative outlet and something to break up the monotony of freelance gigs. Fast forward a few years later and from thrift shopping tips to how to wear it style guides to multiple television appearances {Today Show, WE tv, Nate Berkus Show, etc.}, we've come a long way.
And since I love my awesome, stylish, loyal readers so much, I'm hosting a giveaway for a $50 Kohl's gift card.
