I find that when rummaging through stores which stock second-hand clothes, I almost always come out with a bargain. Just the other day, I visited a local store and found a gorgeous skirt priced at next to nothing. I feel that our clothes tell a story and this skirt spoke volumes to me when I laid my eyes on it.

I am always amused by people's reactions when either offering once-worn clothes, that is, an outgrown school uniform or the likes thereof. In fact, the other day someone I know was so insulted at the thought of being offered someone's once worn clothes. I mean, really?!
