Thrifting 101

    When people compliment me on what I'm wearing, often times, I like to tell them where I found the item and how much I paid for it, not because it was a lot, but because it was a little.  In response, I hear a lot of "You find the best deals!" "I don't know how you do it!" and "I could never master the art of thrifting!"  For those of you who see thrifting as a challenge, click this link!

   

     I have written a little article, a guidebook, to help you on your journey, into the land of inexpensive fabulousness!

Happy Thrifting!!! 

 

  

Miss Priss Hits Blogs & Not Just This One

       Well, hello there!  I have not been posting as frequently as I would like, but for good reason.  I am a busy lady who wears many hats.  I know everyone says that and no one really cares, but I thought I would share (I can do that, this is my blog!  If you don't have a blog, you should start one, it's fun!).

       One thing that I have been doing is write, write, writing!  The wonderful people over at INsite Magazine did a nice little feature on my "Budget Friendly Looks for the New Year."  Speaking of the new year, did you see this? 

Have somewhere fancy to go, but need to keep most of your cash for the shenanigans you will perform upon arrival?

Check it out, party ready for only $11, nuts, I know!

They also mentioned my feature in "The December Issue."

Hey, that's me!

You can read the story, "Give Yourself the Gift of Thrift," here.

I have also been busy burning up the pavement all over the state by doing things like this shoot with the lovely Kristin Kozelsky.  She is an amazing photographer.  Sarah Bremseth is responsible for the lovely hair and makeup.  Both ladies are super sweet and were so fun to work with.  

More photos can be found here.

Until then, my loves!

What does Miss Priss do when she's not shopping for Clothes?

She shops for home decor!!!!!!

And on the cheap (shocking, I know)!!  Keep reading, I will show you how:

You or someone you know may have a blank, white wall.  There are no blank, white walls in the home of Miss Priss, no sirree!!! 

Exhibit A:  Imagine a blank, white wall.  I don't actually have one to take a picture of for you, put your thinking caps on people!!

Exhibit B:   I found this little ditty at the good ole' Salvation Army, for the low-low price of $0.99.  In the words of my father, "You can't beat that with a stick!"  Actually you could beat this mirror with a stick, but please don't, you will probably break it, and that's just mean.  I don't know who painted this (probably for some arts and crafts project), but I thank them for it.  The pink and yellow say "Betsey Johnson" to me!

Exhibit C:  This is something fancy that one of my fancy art friends made and sold in her "I'm moving sale," for less than a dolla!  Holla!  Do you have any fancy art friends?  They will probably want to get rid of their stuff at some point and ya just gotta be there to take it off their hands!  If you don't have any fancy art friends, you're cool, I'm sure you could make some, they're probably hanging out at your local coffee shop (just a tip), or if you already have enough friends, drive around and look for a yard sale...the kicker, you have to get up before noon...it's terrible...I know.

Exhibit D:   I'm telling you people, it pays to be nice.  One of my lovely gal pals who I met here in the good ole' U.S. of A. had to move back to France.  I begged her not to, but there are things we can't control like work permits (blah).  She couldn't take everything with her and declared some things not to be necessities (as if), so I inherited some lovely picture frames like the one above.  I went home and cut up a Vogue Magazine to transform this little baby into something....fabtastic!!!!  Total cost for this sucker $0, I don't count purchasing the Vogue because it was old, I count that as recycling, +1 point for me.

Exhibit E:   See Exhibit C, same info peoples, so add another $1.

Exhibit F:   The final product, and that my friends is how you turn a boring white wall into something very Prissy for around $3!!!!

Until then my friends,


Happy Decorating!!!
