1 Year Anniversary – Living Fly on a Dime

Well, the title says it all folks. Today, September 1, is the one year anniversary of Living Fly on a Dime. *happy dance*

Time really has gone by uber-fast. Deciding to start this blog was a bit random {it was inspired by a conversation I had with my ex-boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend, ha}, and all I knew was I wanted to help people live a great life without spending a ton of cash. I had no idea how much hard work went in to daily blogging. If I did, I may not have started! But I’m so glad I did. I’ve always lived a frugal lifestyle so it’s only natural I blog about what I know oh so well.

I have a small but growing readership and I truly appreciate each and every one of you {even the lurkers who never comment } Your kind words, comments and emails have kept me going even when I’ve been tempted to just give this little ‘ol blog up.

So how do you think we should celebrate my blogiversary? With a few giveaways of course. Throughout the rest of the week, I’ll have some goodies for you, starting with a $50 DSW gift card today.

Here’s to another year of Living Fly on a Dime. I promise to bring you more fashion coverage, cheap cuisine recipes, travel pieces and anything else you request.

Psst, I have a pretty major challenge/project to announce next Monday, so stay tuned.

xoxo,
Patrice

Fab Under $50: Trouser Jeans

Though skinnies seem to be the preferred style of many, the trouser jean is just as fly. They have a more sleek, polished look and are flattering on most figures.

The darker washes are even acceptable to wear in some work environments when paired with a blouse or camisole and cardigan. Wear with a pointy toe heel to give the allusion of longer legs.

If you can’t afford Kim Kardashian’s Anlo’s Drew Trouser jeans, the options below are all under $50.

Salvation Army Haul

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.
