Default Do you buy clothes from secondhand/charity shops?

I do!

where I live there's loads of good ones. Find some real quality clothes there for literally a few pounds. I found my fave pair of Diesel trainers in Oxfam for £9(almost good as new).

Some people are funny about wearing secondhand stuff. My best mate shudders at the thought. But I like to mix n match between secondhand/high street/designer. The great thing about charity shops is that you find original and cheap items that nobody else is likely to be wearing. Everytime I buy from places like H&M I always see others wearing it and it just puts me off wearing it again.

So yeah, charity shops are amazing.

Do you buy from secondhand shops?

It's probably the only thing I wouldn't buy from there...it's probably an irrational thing on my part, but whatever. I need to buy books and stuff from there more often.

Yeah I'm fine with it. Washing machines are awful powerful. I feel fine wearing others clothes after they have been churned around in circles in alternating temperatures of water and suds for four hours.

No, I dont, my sister does though and I hate going shopping with her because I end up having to wait outside the charity shop forever for her.

I did this once then realised I had given them something by accident so I had to buy it back.

I don't, but don't really see a problem with it. I'm sure there's a lot of quality stuff that's hardly been worn.

I think I would be a bit icky about second hand shoes though..

-likes Primark -

I find the women's section to be messier than the men's. Which is annoying when I'm dressing for Friday night work. :/
