A few weekends ago I made my way to the epic Rock the Bells concert with my new concert BFF Danielle of The Style & Beauty Doctor (seriously, her beauty advice keeps me from looking like a two-tone tranny clown) but I had a major dilemma of what to wear. The 12-hour outdoor concert meant I had to dress for comfort and the changing temps. But me being me, my primary concern was looking cute!I'm currently obsessed with lace so I opted for a tank from Express and the tribal print...

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.

Click more to see some of the items I found, including a pair of Club Monaco shorts with the original tag still on them.

It’s Friday, so you know what that means…another installment of Thrifty Threads, where I showcase my thrifted and/or cheap chic finds.

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...

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.You ever feel like you have nothing to wear? Or you've worn everything in your closet a million times before? Yeah, that's what I went through last weekend.I wanted to wear my comfy Banana Republic shorts (last seen here and here) with my fave bag (last seen here), my go to embellished sandals...
