After completing the Try It, Wear It, Love It challenge, it became clear to me that I appreciate casual garments with a bit of flare. Comfort is certainly key, but looking cute is also a factor for me.And for a few months I had been on the hunt for a hoodie dress. I'm sooooo not a hoodie girl, but something about a hoodie dress just looked so comfortable. While I saw a few cute pieces online for $50-$60, I wasn't willing to spend that much for trendy gear. Instead, I made a mental note that I was on the hunt for one and my retail prayers were finally answered when I found this hoodie at the Salvation Army.It was a simple neutral color, super soft and there was a ruffled hem.

After doing a massive closet purge and clean out about two years ago {I ditched a fourth of my wardrobe!}, I realized a few things: I had too much stuff I never wore and I actually like wearing the same pieces over and over.When it comes to the latter, I'm totally fine with that. I know what I love, what works for my body type, my lifestyle and what just makes me smile every time I wear it. And for me, that means red. It's my power color and I totally didn't realize this until after I completed the Try It, Wear It, Love It style challenge.And if you want to pare your wardrobe down a bit or mix and match what you already have, it's totally easy to do.LookingFlyonaDimeThriftyThreads

Spring is just a few days away and I couldn't be happier! It's my favorite season because it's not too hot and not too cold. Since it's that in-between weather, the right choice of outerwear is so important.
But you probably have a leather jacket you wear every spring, right? Or maybe a denim jacket or trench coat?
Below are a few ways to update your go-to spring jackets and make them look new and fresh for the upcoming season.

Thrifty Threads: The Easy Way to Incorporate Statement Pieces in Your WardrobeDon't you just love clothes with movement? Maybe it's a flowy dress that blows in the wind or anything with sequins and beading. For me, it's this fringe miniskirt. I don't have anything like it in my closet and when I copped it from H&M last year {just $25!} during a holiday sale, I knew she'd be a stand out piece.Hmm, but exactly how do you wear statement garments like fringe or sequins? Answer: it's easier than you think!
