So where do you all buy your clothes?

OH JAYSUS!!! Can I get an amen to that?!?
I think I sometimes make less than a sweatshop worker....and my kids abuse me so i sometimes can empathise with them...joking..lol..they do abuse me tho...sheesh!
Every once in a while tho I totally get my socks knocked off when something sells for what its truly worth...or more in some cases..lol

 

I just get my clothes where ever I can afford to. A lot of my clothes are hand-me-downs from my mom. And I get stuff from Sears and some of the stores in New Paltz.

 

i get most of my clothes from charity shops, and a shop called osiris

 

well lets see...
alot of my stuff was given to me by my friend. I go to old navy every once in awhile, I work at kmart and have the discount so I buy things there if they ever have cute stuff and I check out clearance racks cuz I'm broke.

 

you have a choice whether you want to shop there or not.

Do you have nothing better to spend your money on than clothes though? I earn fuck all but one my rent is covered and all bills done and dusted I spend the money on useful things, clothes are just a neccessity and I know I can look good without spending alot of money.

 

'There is alotta time spent that doesn't get accounted for in this process besides actually making a piece of clothing'


Ain't that the truth!! It's a good thing I love doing it 'cuz that's what makes it worth -while!

I get all my clothes, except socks and underwear, from Thrift stores or I make it myself.

 

I get my jeans at Costco (Kirkland brand and they don't use sweatshops to make their items). $14.99 a pair, can't beat that. I usually get my tshirts there as well because I only pay $9.99 a tshirt kirkland brand of course. I make some of my clothing, not all.

While I would love it if more people supported green companies and handmade products, it's just not gonna happen in this day and age. Especially when people are so attracted to trends, brand names, celebrity style and high fashion.

I say, shop where you want, buy what you want, be who you want to be. Just make sure that you are kind and gentle to the world around you.

 

I go to concerts too. I'm not trading my life for clothes, But i do look hella sharp.

 

to the poster.. im just wondering home you came across this place when you shop at places like that. you dont sound into the whole hippie ideal, but who knows. just asking out of curiousity.

but anyways, to answer the question. i shop at vintage shops, thrift shops, ebay, etc. we also have this cool little town around here called new hope so sometimes we take a train close to there and then walk the rest to it. its a neat little town with "hippie" shops, head shops, and some cool restaurants.
