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. 
Last week I had a blast hosting my first event at Macy's Herald Square. I was introducing shoppers to Dormify, the college lifestyle brand that helps students dress up their living space with ease and on a budget.

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.
