It had been a very long time since I last visited an ukay-ukay store. I guess that was a decade ago in Baguio. I don't like the idea of buying second hand clothes. Plus scouring through tons of items in a hot dusty and dirty place.
Last Tuesday I went to Robinson's Mall in Imus and decided to check on Teejay's Ukay-ukay store out of curiosity. Lo, and behold I got so excited to see a lot of not-your-usual dresses, jackets and pants. I came out with four items on hand and promised myself that I would check out the store again or look out for other ukay stores in Cubao or Quezon City.
Anyway, here are what I bought so far. All tops cost 125 each, while the jacket at 250. I was able to haggle but only got 60 pesos discount on the total. I think it is still a bit expensive since some stores give 60-100 for tops.
I had them washed in hot water to kill the bacteria and remove the germs.
My next mission is to score a designer dress, bags and a cool pair of boots.
