Hi, I’m Michelle-Emily
Finance Professional & Blogger
Hey! I’m Michelle. I am a 30 something year old cheapskate based in Phenix City Alabama and I love writing about it! I have four kids which includes two of my cats and I love reading! If you happen to have any book recommendations especially in the psychological thriller genre, please send them my way here. I mean it! Anyway, after years of navigating the ups, downs, and in-betweens of adulting, I realized two things:
- You can thrive and be thrifty.
- Your 30s are not the time to dim your shine — they’re the time to glow even brighter.
Thrifty Thriving 30 is your go-to space for affordable fashion inspiration, styling tips for real life (not the fake ones we create in our minds). And a little pep talk when you need it most.
Whether you’re rocking a thrift store find or putting together a chic outfit on a budget, I’m here to show you that style doesn’t have to be expensive — it just has to be you.
Here, we celebrate:
- Smart shopping
- Everyday confidence
- Finding joy in the little things
- Looking good while living well
“What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.”
Miuccia Prada
I hope that through this platform, I can help women feel strong, beautiful and excited about being in their 30s. Thanks for stopping by — grab your favorite coffee (or wine) and stay awhile. Let’s thrive in our 30s together! Yes, I know you get the point… “Thrifty Thriving 30”
xo,
Michelle
