I just walk around our neighborhood looking for a bakery when I came across a house that has lots of clothes display outside. I thought they are newly wash clothes and I look again and it seems they are for sale.
Here in the Philippines ukay ukay business is popular.
Ukay ukay are second hand clothes. They even joke that their clothes are from UK when actually it means Ukay.
I saw this sleeveless blouse and I bought it for just 50 pesos. Do you buy second hand clothes?

@averygirl72 In our country it is forbidden to sell second hand clothes if they are dirty.

Yes I do buy second hand clothes because they are still new and in good shape. That is a beautiful photo.

That looks a nice blouse. I buy second-hand clothing if I see something I like.

Yes, I do buy second hand clothes and other items too from thrift stores. I actually enjoy rummaging through heaps and racks, you don't know the gem you can find in there. Once a year I also do garage sales and sell our pre-loved items. Its a great way to declutter and at the same time make extra money out of the things you do not need anymore, yet are still in good condition for someone else to use and enjoy.
