Ukay-Ukay Escapades

Hi! Welcome to Ukay-ukay Escapades, a blog where I would share to you my weird/cute/great finds at ukay-ukay shops around the Metro. Yay! *clap clap clap*
To start off, let me tell you the story of my life as a human who wears clothes.
Other people choose my clothes. As a child, I wasn’t the “I want this one!” type of kid. I only wear what everybody hands to me. I didn’t have fashion sense when I was in high school. I had no idea what to wear, what’s in, or what to buy. Most of my clothes are hand-me-downs that unfortunately came from boys (yes, FUBU and Tommy Hilfiger baggy shorts, huge shirts…), and the rest are bad fitting clothes that my Mom bought for me – not that I dislike the clothes that my Mom gave me, but I just realized that most of them are two or more sizes larger than my actual size.
My “fashion turning point” was college. Since we don’t have a uniform in UP, I had to buy clothes that are comfy and would not go out of style in a few months. It was the first time that I actually bought pants that ACTUALLY fit me. I also bought a few shirts – typical shirts. (more…)
