welcome back to River City live as
promised I have a thrifting expert with
me right now she's a blogger her blog is
rush hour fashion and this is prissy who
I recently met at a st. John's town
centre influencers dinner and you had
everyone blown away by some of your hat
we're gonna get to those I promise
you're gonna see some things that will
blow your mind having to do with what
prissy has on right now but before we do
that have you always been great at going
thrift shopping and finding really great
outfits and and accessories or is this a
kind of a learned thing well I think
it's a little bit of both initially I
didn't know like how to thrift and like
what to look for but then as I started
like thrifting I found myself like
gravitating towards certain pieces which
like my style is mostly vintage so I
love vintage pieces so that's what I
gravitate towards when I'm in a thrift
store so you would say then maybe it's
something where you have to have an eye
but is it also something that can be
practiced can it be learned it's
definitely something that can be learned
with all the fashion blogs that are out
here and all of the other like sites
fashion sites you can definitely learn
how to through run us through some of
your very most basic tips
well my first to it would probably be
make time to go through things like
thrifting is not something that you're
just like running or your lunch break
and think you're gonna score big you
really have to make time and you know
find time to scour the thrift store for
pieces okay so what if you do go
thrifting and you see nothing at a
location I guess it stands to reason
that it's hit or miss it definitely hit
or miss but do you have some favorites
and and and do those places are those
places you keep secret or do you share
those things on your blog always share I
must share it heart so I love the
goodwill goodwill is one of my favorites
especially like for furniture and home
decor pieces because I don't just throw
fashion I throw things from a home as
well so that's one that I love for home
decor pieces as far as like clothing
items being fair store is a great one
it's name Bheema yeah Jacksonville
beaches love it
especially like for vintage pieces okay
well you've you've referenced your suit
so let's talk about your suit how much
did you pay for that suit one dollar one
dollar one dollar it's pieces both
pieces and it just miraculously fit you
that well it well it did it it kind of
did I've made a few alterations well
just one alteration why did you I hacked
off the hem of it okay this is what she
tells me when she arrives she this
morning mm-hmm
scissors yeah and just not not a sewing
machine nothing like that you just cut
right across the bottom of that yeah I
mean exactly what I did because this one
it was very easy to cut because there
lies in this one so I just cut right on
the line and it automatically frayed for
me some things you're just gonna do that
and what if it would have ripped it was
a dollar it was a dollar and you can
also use like the hem stitch if you're
not like a crafter or like a store which
I'm not so you can use the hem stitch
and you could have easily stitched this
him as well let's talk about your shoes
okay when we were together a couple of
weeks ago and everybody was raving on
your shoes so let's see first let's make
sure we get a shot of the shoes and now
reach down and do what you did that blew
everybody away so yeah so those were
just kind of playing shoes yeah now here
you have this clip that you've added on
tell us about that this is just a little
clip that I ordered from Amazon they
were like eight dollars for the pair and
I think they're like hair clips but I
just chose to put it on my shoe and I
think it adds like a lot more to the
shoe you know because it's just a basic
little shoe although it's cute is basic
but when you add this that just gives it
a little more and those are the kinds of
things that people can find on your blog
and then you can put that clip somewhere
else I'm sorry like if I had a pocket
here I could have easily added this
right here I love it yeah so let's make
a deal lets you and I go thrifting
together and we'll share the tip since
you said you are a sharer and we're
looking at the page front page of your
blog right there rush hour so there's
only one H yes

tips and you'll be back with us and
