It all started with Billie Eilish. I wanted oversize polo. But the ones on malls are so expensive! So I ended up browsing the ukay-ukays at Makati Cinema Square.
And the rest?
They're history.
Which lead to this...
1. Cheap
- as low as 5 php, you'll have a new addition to your wardrobe collection.
2. Eco-friendly
- plants wherein raw materials come from shall live longer lives. If we don't demand for new clothes, then suppliers will have second thoughts on producing same stuff.
3. Self-therapy
- work or any aspects of life we face everyday can be stressful. Wearing my fashion statement helps a lot in relieving stress.
"I'm stress because of work but at least I'm wearing great clothes.." is my #1 mantra right now.
4. An adventure of a lifetime
- digging through hangers of used clothes takes patience and disinfection afterwards, but those moments you found great finds? Voila! You'll feel like finding gold in a sea of sand ;)
5. Stories
- each time I browse thrifted items, I wonder about their past. Who were their owners? Are they already dead? What kind of adventures happened with these stuff? How did they survive time? What could be these new stories they would make once they found new homes with new owners?
Spend some time asking yourself these kind of questions, especially on those days you feel so lost.
Thanks for reading!
