Boggles the mind that there are people that shop in clothing stores at normal price. Have you people not heard of second hand stores or flea markets?

To be entirely fair I don't shop exclusively second hand, I buy myself something new once in a blue moon, as a treat, but usually take advantage of sales or coupons whenever I do. The other day I bought a Marimekko wool cardigan for 50% off, and a pair of Levi's for 50% off also, and thought I got a pretty good deal at about 160€ total for both. Well, I went to the flea market this morning, and picked up another pair of Levi's, an Etre Cecile sweater and some nice off-brand jeans, and paid a whopping total of 12€ (retail would have been about 290€). Last week I got a Hermes stole for 50€, and a Coccinelle purse for 30€. There is NO real reason to buy new clothes, so that's why brands market the 'experience' more than the actual product now. Which is, valid, I guess, experiences are fun. But if you're the slightest bit budget conscious just stick to preowned.

I also sell a lot of my used clothes, so having a lot of people interested in buying preowned clothes makes it easier to sell. This allows me to keep my wardrobe fresh and to try lots of different styles and looks, while paying next to nothing. I haven't worn out clothes to the point where they had to be tossed in years (apart from socks) so do look into how to care for your belongings properly too!!

#to understand this post you need to know that levi's jeans are about double the us price in europe and considered relatively fancy #probably the most expensive item of clothing i own is a pair of Solovairs that I paid about 180€ for with a coupon #but I don't mind paying to support European craftswomanship #yeah I'm That Girl that starts going on about how Docs are now made in Thai sweatshops at every available opportunity #how all the experienced craftswomen and artisans involved in making them were laid off and no value was placed on their expertise #anyway 60 of those women and men who used to make Docs in the UK who would have been jobless #now make Solovairs with the care and expertise befitting a 200 euro shoe #tl;dr buy local and preowned and save the planet and the working class and your wallet and your closet #send tweet
