Remember when I Instagrammed this dress last year? It was Free People {a brand I love} and majorly discounted at TJ Maxx. I knew I'd get tons of wear out of the fitted, printed dress. A dress like this can easily be saucy with a high heel or a bit more casual. Now that the temps are dipping again, I'm back to rocking the Free People dress. And this time around, I decided to keep the frock pretty casual thanks to a few add-ons like accessories and a cable knit top.

It was announced a few months ago that Kohl's was creating a DesigNation collection with Catherine Malandrino and it's finally here. The Kohl's for Catherine Malandrino line finally hits stores nationwide on Friday. I attended the preview this summer and my initial thoughts were: clean, chic and so Parisian. Kohl's was gracious enough to send me a few pieces and they didn't disappoint.One of my favorite garments has to be fit and flare pleated dress. Seriously, this is what I'd call the ultimate little black dress for the season.

Sweatshirts are all the rage. Last year I showed you how I wore my favorite vintage Mickey Mouse shirt and now, we're seeing more and more of the casual tops everywhere. They're no longer just the sweaty shirt you wore to workout or on a lazy afternoon. Now, the sweatshirt has been remixed in a fun, flirty and even chic way.
Rocking a sweatshirt is as easy as 1, 2, 3 and the look I styled below can work from the office to happy hour.

Kohl's rock & republic jeans, rock & republic for kohl's

I've never been a fan of boyfriend jeans. If I must do denim, I'm a proud member of team skinny jeans {I own more than a dozen pairs}. Though I never full on hated boyfriend jeans, the relaxed, semi-sloppy fit just isn't my thing, especially since I'm only 5'2.  But I always encourage you guys to step out of your style box, I decided to take my own advice.I'm a huge fan of Kohl's and when they contacted me about a jean campaign for their Rock & Republic line, I jumped at the opportunity. I did something out of the ordinary and selected a pair of boyfriend jeans to style.

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.
