Clothes shopping on a budget!

Like many people, I absolutely love clothes shopping! But, as a student, I
dont have a lot of money to keep up with the latest fashion trends. Especially
when it comes to vintage clothes, which are in fashion at the moment. I cant
afford many things in vintage shops. I like to look on eBay, but I dont like to buy
clothes online because they dont always fit well when they arrive. I like to always
5
try on clothes in the shop before I buy them it makes each shopping trip much
more fun!
In England, we have shops called charity shops, where people donate their
old clothes, shoes, books, CDs, DVDs, and children's toys and games. In
10 America, they are called thrift shops, which you may know from Macklemores,
hit song! I love these shops, because you can often find a bargain, brand new
clothes with the tags still on them, or real vintage items which havent got a big
price tag!
The only downside to charity shopping is that you have to search through
15 everything in the shop, which can take a lot of time. Also, sometimes it is
disappointing. I have searched for hours before and not found a single thing to
buy! But this happens with big department stores in shopping centres too, so perhaps it is just occasional bad
luck! Most of the time, however, I have found some bargains, and saved lots of money! Occasionally, I have
found lovely handbags, new shoes, hardly-worn clothes, and some fantastic second-hand books and DVDs at a
20
fraction of the price that youd find in a normal shop. And the best part about charity shopping is that the money
goes to a good cause!
