I feel like 2nd hand stores require digging and I can't do it! I'm the same way about buying stuff fronm new places too that are hodge-podgy &amp; require digging- like Tj maxx &amp; marshalls...Digging through racks makes me so agitated and I just end up leaving. So I don't really even try... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466796 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 16:15:01 +0000 heffalump 466796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have.... but I haven't gone shopping in a long long time! I don't need to because my sister and friend have been giving me their hand me downs..... so I'm wearing used clothes, just not buying them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466779 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 16:07:25 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 466779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a problem with it. I have a hard time finding anything good for myself though. My DH is always getting amazing deals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466778 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 16:06:39 +0000 Bao 466778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MusicaV: woohoo, good find! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466773 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 16:06:07 +0000 MusicaV 466773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost all of the clothing I've bought in the past two years is used. It does take some time and patience to find good stuff. I actually found a great dress for a holiday party at Goodwill - $6.50! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466385 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 12:07:44 +0000 Smurfette 466385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some maternity from a consignment shop but I think that is the first time I have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466378 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 12:04:00 +0000 jedeve 466378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, although we don't have consignment stores really. Though the jeans I am wearing now are from a maternity/baby consignment store. I don't really get the "I won't buy used clothes for baby if I don't buy it for myself" mindset though. Kids clothes get so much less wear and have such a shorter lifespan that I think it makes even more sense to buy used for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466346 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 11:48:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 466346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes... Growing up I only shopped thrift stores since it's what we could afford. But I have learned that quality is truly valuable once you're full-grown! I definitely "invest" in some pieces.</p> <p>We don't have a ton of nice consignment stores around my area though - goodwill and salvation army - but occasionally I'll peruse through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466321 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 11:35:52 +0000 pinkcupcake 466321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but we don't have any good consignment stores around us -- all we have are Goodwills &amp; Value Villages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466320 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 11:35:38 +0000 polkadots 466320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't usually but I would! Its hard to take LO there since they are so crowded and small, and I rarely get a chance to go out by myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466311 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 11:31:35 +0000 Mrs. Bee 466311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I used to live across an awesome thrift store. It was a wealthy neighborhood so there were lots of designer goods like Armani! Now I live near an awesome thrift store with lots of great vintage. I also love consignment stores! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466307 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 11:30:35 +0000 stargal 466307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. From consignment shops and good wills. At the good will I have to dig to find good stuff but I've found gap, crew and loft! Things I would never be able to buy new. There is nothing wrong with buying used ;). I buy a lot used foe my lo too and am able to fond some good stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466283 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 11:19:39 +0000 Bao 466283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: oh yeah, our goodwill doesn't have great clothes. They take just about anything, whereas the consignment store I go to is very picky with quality and brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466281 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 11:19:04 +0000 Springtime 466281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will if they are in good condition still! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466278 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 11:18:06 +0000 autumnlove 466278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. I don't have nice consignment stores around me...only Goodwill! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466272 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 11:17:27 +0000 MrsTiz 466272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! We have some really nice consignment stores around here. I don't shop there often, but I don't have any problem with used clothes (for the most part) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-used-clothes-for-yourself#post-466269 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 11:15:38 +0000 Bao 466269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I never used to, I was actually really against it, until I found a store around me that sells only the top brands in excellent condition. I just bought some stuff from there that included, Gap, Express, AE, etc. I got a pair of jeggings, and 4 shirts for $40. I figure, if I buy things used for LO, I can buy them for myself :) </p>
