Do you know what today is?! It's National Thrift Shop Day!!! *throws confetti*That means you should check your local thrift store to see what extra deals and savings they have going on. And if you need additional tips on how to thrift shop, check out some of my favorite {and most commented on!} posts below. These will guarantee a successful thrift trip. 
Last week I participated in my first mud run {I shared behind the scenes action on Snapchat. Follow @PatriceJWill} and it was definitely an interesting experience. I've always wanted to do a physical challenge with obstacle courses {kinda like an adult Double Dare with mud!} and I'm so glad I did. During the Dirty Girl Mud Run, we ran 3.1 miles and challenges included climbing walls, ropes, mud pits, etc.But the week before the race I was frantically trying to figure out what I would wear. If you've ever wanted to do a mud run or any type of outdoor physical course that requires getting down and dirty, here are a few tips on the do's and don'ts of what to wear. 
One of the things I love most about summer is the outdoor flea markets and garage sales. These are prime locations for one-of-a-kind statement pieces for your home or wardrobe. But I also know a ton of people who are intimidated by flea markets when it comes to negotiating a price. And I even know some who don't even bother to haggle and just pay full price.Let me tell you: 1. you absolutely can and should haggle. 2. it's much easier than you think. Here are a few steps to negotiate prices at a flea market. 
Every now and then I find a stellar thrift store score. This is that moment! If you follow me on Snapchat {@PatriceJWill}, then you saw these high waist mustard pants a few weeks ago. They were just $2. Yes, 2 bucks!I paired the pants with another thrift score for a look that's less than $15. 
What typically happens when I do an on-air fashion segment is I return the clothing. Well, during my last Today Show appearance, I loved a dress so much, I went back to the store and bought it.While I gravitate towards bold prints and structured garments, sometimes it's the most basic pieces that have a huge impact. That's what happened with this H&M tank dress that was just $12.95. It goes with everything and has been in heavy rotation in my closet for the past two months.
