Buying clothes at the resale shop...

The BEST part?? Other than getting brand name clothes CHEAP is that you never have to worry if that shirt is going to shrink or fall apart the first time you wash it!

I hadn't thought of that. Good point!

Yup. My sister says, "'Washed and worn' is a bonus!"

Some people cringe at the thought of buying used but I love it! I can afford name brand clothes that otherwise I could not afford.

i'd say 90% of my wardrobe is used.
Everything except underwear & some shoes.

I end up buying whatever fits - a lotta times it isnt the prettiest thing or doesnt look all that great, or isnt an exact fit. I'm an odd (but popular) size & I guess everyone else gets there before i do! LOL

I restocked my entire wardrobe for 200$ - pants, shirts, sweaters, tanks, & some shoes.

i havent been to one in a VERY long time. Maybe time for a little visit... just to see what's there (& get outta the house for an hour sometime!)

I really like buying my t-shirts at resale/thrift stores. I always end up staining them and don't worry about it because I only paid $1.00 for them.

I haven't purchased from a consignment shop for clothes for myself, but I have bought quite a bit at the thrift store.

I haven't been very lucky in finding pants, but plenty of great tops for very cheap. It's great to be able to get 20+ namebrand tops for less than one namebrand top full price new.

The quality is there in the used tops, so it's just silly for me to pay more.

I'm wearing one today.

Striped Gap shirt that looks brand new and fits perfectly.
