On today's episode we have Abbey McDonald or otherwise known as the owner and operator of Fancy Pants. A boutique rental service for high end designer garments.

Her market being “not everyone can afford to out-right purchase designer garments” so you can be sure to rent them instead. She saw a need and she had the know-how and the means to fill it.
