Guest Blogging + FREE 8x10 Printable

When I first started Dear Wallet, I had huge dreams that included a guest blogger every week sharing amazing projects, ideas and posts with my followers. I put out a request, posted on my facebook pages, and even emailed big and small bloggers hoping someone would say 'sure'! But it never happened. Realistically my blog was just too small and unheard of, and still is. So I put the dream on the back burner and moved on. However in the last couple months I have received countless inquires about people wanting to guest blog on Dear Wallet. 

The interest is amazing, and I would be so honored to allow people to guest blog on Dear Wallet, however I need to make it clear - any guest post theme needs to reflect that of the Dear Wallet interests. I've been submitted some great articles, but of no relevance to DW, and realistically that wont help anyone - you, me, and most importantly - my readers.

So I would like to take the time to officially re-open the opportunity for guest bloggers, perfect timing as I plan my year of blogging now! If you would be interested in doing a guest post now, or even later in the year feel free to contact me with your idea, or just to discuss the possibility! But please take the time to read a few posts on Dear Wallet and familiarize yourself first with what my readers are used to seeing to ensure this is the best place for your guest blogging!

Graphic Print Accessories

Graphic accessories are IN right now. Normally I'm not much a trend chaser, but I've always had a soft spot in my heart for bold, chunky graphics: so being trendy right now means they are easy to find in every price range. Recently I hit up my local Goodwill [Grass Valley HWY, Auburn, CA] to see what kind of goodies I could find. Of course Goodwill is over thrown with Halloween stuff right now, but you never know what you'll find. Unfortunately I didn't score much, but I did find a chunky bangle in teal with a lotus motif overlay print. .99 ¢! 

October is a great time to visit thrift stores, they usually stock up for this time of year and unleash bigger and bigger discounts until Halloween so they can rid all of the stock! Make sure you check back often as the merchandise is circulated from location to location weekly, and the deeper into October you get, the higher the discounts! I've said it before, and I will say it hundred more times:

if you want to save money when shopping, know what you're looking for before you go.

This is true no matter where you shop. Local thriftstore, or Neiman and Marcus! Have an idea in your mind of what you need/want and start there. Sure you'll probably find other goodies along the way, but having a goal in your mind makes it easier to say NO when you get to the counter.

Following the graphic prints theme I made a quick wishlist of graphic stuff that I'm keeping my eyes peeled for!
