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?

Sometimes, so I guess that's a yes :D

Stacey. 12-04-2011 08:15 PM

No, I would never.

Shaun 12-04-2011 08:18 PM

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.

there's a lot of brand new stuff there sometimes. Ive certainly given loads of good quality unworn clothes to Oxfam.

I had a clearout a few months ago. Then when I went into the store a week later it was like walking into my own huge closet; I could see all my stuff on the rails!

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.

Zippy 12-04-2011 08:20 PM

Some clothes actually look better well worn. :)

not underwear obviously

Josy 12-04-2011 08:20 PM

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..

I'd have felt like the biggest bastard on the planet robbing from a charity shop.

Niall 12-04-2011 08:50 PM

I don't. D:

My Nan loves the charity shop though, like almost her entire wardrobe is from there. O_o

Lewis. 12-04-2011 08:51 PM

Nope.. It's hard to find stuff for a 16 year old male in there which is generally why..

bettiepage 12-04-2011 08:52 PM

yes.

yes those old people are a nuisance in there

they get so violent and aggressive when they sniff a bargain!

Chuck 12-04-2011 09:20 PM

I don't have enough patience to try finding one good piece of clothing mixed with loads of bad clothing. :L

Primark is worse. You walk in there and everything is on the floor. D;

Shaun 12-04-2011 09:48 PM

-likes Primark :p-

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

Niall shops at Primark, Niall shops at Primark!!!
