My Upcoming Thrift Shopping Ebook, Interview with SammyDTVYesterday I told you about my fun interview with SammyDTV. We talked all things thrift shopping: why we thrift, how we thrift and how it's an affordable, conscious way to develop your style. We also had an amazing time while rocking out to Janelle Monáe and we're even plotting on developing thrift fairy dust {kidding, kinda!}.
Oh, did I forget to mention that during the chat I gave the exclusive and shared the title of my upcoming ebook on how to thrift shop? If you missed the chat, watch the full replay below.
