When your clothes wear out, you get new ones, right? Well, why do they have to be new? Used clothes can be an inexpensive way to get things that used to belong to someone else but are new to you. Plus, the only way to find some cool styles is by wearing vintage clothes from different times in fashion history.

in my opinion, vintage is just a style, new clothes with a vintage style is also ok. in fashion industry, all the stylish things are unavoidably expensive!

Sort of, I think some cheongsam is very cool, but I prefer buy it new, not a used one. Maybe I’m just a neat freak…  I think for clothes, new ones are more expensive.

I really like vintage clothes, but they are expensive and I and cannot afford to buy them, otherwise used clothes are a good alternative to save money and sometimes you can find things that are unique, nice and almost new. Modern clothes are good too, but sometimes if you see something that you like and you can’t afford it…it’s sad… I don’t know, in my opinion you can mix used clothes with vintage and modern clothes.  This is what I do!

My cousin who is living in California  likes to go to Good Will 


 ( the place where people go and give away their used clothes  ) and buy


 for a few dollars very good  outfits.  When her collegues asked her  :  you


 look  gorgeous, where did you buy  your clothes ? Oh, I bought it at a boutique  is her reply.

I think it’s more comfortable to wear brand new clothes because you feel that they are really yours, but I don’t think that buying vintage clothes it’s bad.Vintage clothes are very inexpensive and cheap, and they are very useful for poor people for example.
