Sometimes my sister's and I went on shopping in a second hand shop. We don't really care what other people said. We're just being practical and aside from that there's so many good, beautiful and signature outfit you can choose from. Unlike most of my friends who prefer to wear brand new clothes. How about you, do you go on shopping in a second hand shop? Do you like wearing those clothes? Have a great day!

yes. it is always an enjoyable experience being in second-hand shops and search for good and wearable clothes in the mound (that is "ukay-ukay" for us, right?) or piles of clothes. that is one of the practical things to do especially with the global economic crisis. most people actually do that to. a lot of people are into that business too because most people prefer to buy cheap but durable items.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying second hand clothes. Many consignment shops and thrift stores, even ebay, have great clothing for a fraction of the cost. Who cares if they are used? If they still look great and you can get them for a steal, then I say "go for it"!

I wear it whether i buy it in the second hand store, because no matter what you wear, the important are the people who wear the clothes, most of the second hand things are very beautiful and wonderful.

You're right, it doesn't matter what clothes you wear or where it come from. What's important is the person who wears the clothes. It's the character and attitude of the person that matters. Thanks for sharing with us and have a great day!

I am a thrift and vintage clothing addict.almost all of my clothes are from secondhand stores.I don't like the feeling of walking down the street and seeing someone wearing the same clothes as I do.I love clothes that I feel like I am the only one with that piece.to achieve that I go either to secondhand stores or designer stores.well,I achieved both in shopping in secondhand stores.I got Marc Jacobs,BCBG,Mango,Guess,and D&G pieces from secondhand stores,for dirt cheap prices.

Almost all of my clothes are from a second hand shop.I am actually proud of my finds.they are lovely and unique.I feel confident when I wear them because I know I wouldn't run into someone wearing the same clothes I do.I received a lot of compliments from my finds.I hate massed produced clothes.I don't like the feeling of running into someone with the same clothes as mine.I actually got a black Marc Jacobs skirt and a blue D&G dress that I am very proud of.

Hi Care.. I always go to a second hand shop to buy clothes. I love to rummage second hand clothes since its costs are cheaper than new ones. Most of these are still new or used once/twice by their owners before dispatch to be sold. There are lots of branded items to choose. It only needs a lot of patience to rummage on these second hand clothes..

Of course, I love it and think you can find such amazing stuff, for really great prices in second hand stores! I would go a lot more if there were any good stores in my city, but there is only one decent one, so I don't go that much anymore. When I lived in a city with more second hand stores, I would really go a lot though!

In my country there are no second hand shops but there are shops that sell dresses or shoes with minor defects during manufacturing at cheaper rates at times its so minor like a thread hanging lose that you do not mind paying for the dress. We often go and buy these.

I sometimes like to go shopping in second hand store and yes I do wear clothes from the thrift shop, but I don't buy under garments or shoes from there. I also don't mind what other people would say!

I frequnetly buy clothes for myself and my family at secind-hand stores. I find a lot of really nice things and pay only a fraction of the price. I don't mind at all, and thankfully, neither do my kids.

I see no problem with that. I do some shopping there and there are some good materials which you cannot afford to lose. Nice shopping.

Absolutely!! I have done. I have had some really nice bargains from second hand shops in the past, so if it is nice to look at and cheap to buy, then why not? i say..
