Bubbly on your budget : live luxuriously with what you have

Description

Overview: Bubbly on Your Budget is an effervescent guide to living on a budget without sacrificing style. First published in 1937, these tips stand the test of time. Author Marjorie Hillis proves that it isn't how much we have, but how we act, that matters. With a charming can-do attitude she offers hundreds of creative solutions, including creating the perfect capsule wardrobe, dining out for brunch rather than dinner, and setting aside a budget for miscellaneous (this is where the bubbly fits in!) each month. Brimming with vintage line illustrations, this delightful book shows that being smart about money and living life to the fullest never goes out of style.
