Hi, I’m Michelle-Emily
Finance professional & Blogger
Hey! I’m Michelle. Remember when we were younger, and we would play dress up games on the computer until our parents would try to convince us to do something more productive? Let’s not forget that the internet was not the same back then as it is today. Load times were much slower, and computer games were fewer. But boy did we enjoy every moment of those dress up games. It took me a while to realize that I had a passion for putting different pieces together and finding new ways to style the simplest dress or most basic blouse. Guess what career I ended up choosing? If you guessed fashion, you are absolutely incorrect. I chose to pursue a bachelor’s degree in accounting instead. Now I work in the Life Insurance industry for a big corporation. Regrets? Not really. But I knew that there had to be a way for me to share my passion with the world even though I have to do so after my 9-5 which I am truly grateful for by the way. This is why I started Thrifty Thriving 30.
“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 getting dressed. Oh, and by the way, being fashionable doesn’t have to be expensive. As a matter of fact, I spend most of weekends at my local thrift store and I learned to make the best out of the clothing I already have. I hope to teach you how to wipe your mental state clean of every negative thought you have had about dressing up and make a fresh start. I wish to teach you how to cultivate the image you want to project into the world.
Sincerely,
Michelle-Emily Carbon
