looking-fly-on-a-dime-thrifty-threads-tank-dress-versatile-dress-hm-tank-dress What typically happens when I do an on-air fashion segment is I return the clothing. Well, during my last Today Show appearance, I loved a dress so much, I went back to the store and bought it.While I gravitate towards bold prints and structured garments, sometimes it's the most basic pieces that have a huge impact. That's what happened with this H&M tank dress that was just $12.95. It goes with everything and has been in heavy rotation in my closet for the past two months.

 free-personal-shopper-complimentary-personal-shopper-personal-shopper-serviceWhen I think of personal shopper service, I tend to have an image of high end department stores. The places where you're greeted with champagne and a stylist tells you why you must have the seasons hottest trends, which come attached with an insane price tag.But even affordable retailers offer this personalized service...and for free! If you need a bit of style advice tailored to your specific needs and even want someone to do a bit of shopping for you, check these stores out.

fashion-hacks-cheap-fashio-fast-fashion-tips Shopping at "cheap" retailers like Strawberry, Rainbow, Forever 21, Family Dollar {yes, Family Dollar}, H&M, Target, etc. can be a bit tricky. The clothes are really affordable but the quality isn't always superior. Retailers cut corners to offer the garments at such wallet-friendly prices, so the colors might not be as bright, the fit might be a little off and embellishments start falling off before you know it.
However, it's all about knowing what to buy and what to pass on when shopping at cheap retail stores.

vintage-christian-dior-coat-forever-21-dress-white-aline-skirt-quilted-skirt I know so many people who still believe the outdated style advice that you can't wear white after Labor Day.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.
