Whenever I need clothes for a certain occasion and I’m sure it’ll be worn once, I shop for second-hand clothing instead of buying brand new. But it has to be nice and still in good condition, of course! Sometimes you can find treasure on everybody else’s trash if you’re just eager to search.

Here in the Philippines, we have this what we call “Ukay-Ukay” that sells second-hand clothing at very cheap prices. Now that my graduation is coming in two weeks, I rummaged through Ukay-Ukays yesterday for a lovely white dress, and I was very lucky to find a pretty one for just php100 (around $2)! Sorry, no pics for now, but I’ll upload some after graduation.

I felt even luckier, when I stumbled upon in Ukay-Ukay this pink hoodie that seemed brand new! I couldn’t let it go that even though I absolutely have no use for it this summer, I still bought it and thought I’ll just wait for the cold and rainy season then use it! Will you believe me if I tell you I bought it for just php250 (around $5)?!

Questions:

1. Have you tried going to an Ukay-ukay/second-hand store?
2. If yes, were you able to buy something nice and what is it?
