GT: What We Most Love
Last Thursday of the month ladies, and boy does it fly by so fast! This week it’s all about what we get/look for first at the accessories/apparel section of a shop. I think if there is anything in shopping that we girls most love, it is buying clothes and accessories. Whether it’s for ourselves or for people dear to us, it doesn’t matter, as long as we are in that section of the shop, we are inexplicably happy. I can understand why a lot of women believe in retail therapy. I, myself, find peace in clothes and accessories shopping. More so if I get them at bargain price. And even more so if I have a shopping buddy who squeals over a lovely find at the exact same moment that I do. Agree?
I may not be able to claim the title of ukay-ukay (imported second hand clothing shops that we have oodles of here in Baguio) queen, but I know enough about the ins and outs of ukays here to know when and where to get the best deals (i.e gorgeous Php50 tops and Php10 baby clothes). Honestly, I do not see anymore the sense of buying from malls when there are a bazillion clothes in ukay-ukay shops just waiting for me to buy them. Yes, dearies, a self-confessed cheapskate here.
Accessories I do not buy a lot anymore, although I cannot resist the impulse to sidle up to cute accessories for Svet. I swear I am turning more and more into a nerd who’d rather gawk at computer parts than fashionable items. I know, wretched. Somebody haul me up this geek hole I tripped in now and take me for some wild and crazy shopping! And I do mean NOW.
This linky list is now closed.
for our kids, we would buy

Wow, Ukay queen ka din? ako minsan minsan lang mag shop sa ukay ukay…wala kasi masyadong time.
Ako rin,mahilig sa ukay-ukay!Kaka-miss na ring makisiksik at maghalungkat ng ukay^_^
I’m an ukay fan too! I don’t know the ins and outs of ukay shopping, but I appreciate cheap, unique, second-hand clothes.
masarap talaga mamili sa ukay ano? yung 500 mo e ang dami mo ng mabibili. ang problema e walang malapit na ukay dito sa amin. kung meron man e hindi magaganda ang tinda.
oo nga marami dyan sa baguio. iyong iba nga yata dito e dyan nanggagaling.
L’m not much on clothes, but PRETTY MUCH on accessories, lol!
I am also fond in Ukay Ukay hehehe
hi marce kaye! sa wakas nakasali ulit ako sa GT this week. sencya na at laging absent ako lately. ngayon medyo nagkatime kasi di ako pumasok sa class. tinamad! lol!
I love UK too, especially the ones in Baguio! Haven!!! =)
People ask me all the time where I go thrifting I frequent the Anonas ukays particularly the one at the LRT2 station and the building its called Lolo Oboys with four floors of ukay shops beside it. Im always on the lookout for new ukay places though the way Im always on the lookout for so I was more than excited when and I made our way to this ukay place last Tuesday. Its an old cinema that was converted into one big ukay place and the fitting rooms are the surprisingly clean restrooms.
ganda talaga ukay ukay,very affordable pa! hope u can visit my site too!hv a great day!
Hello there,K!Just dropping by(nagkaroon ng time para bumisita uli)^_^
Have a nice day!
I love thrift store Mare, dun ako naglalaboy kapag walang magawa, kasi mura na maganda rin naman basta marunong lang maghalungkat, hehehe. When I go sa mga department store, eh puro mga gamit lang ng bata ang aking nabibili, pero shoes ang aking loves talaga.
oh you remind me of my mom! My mom loved to shop ukay ukay! I missed it too!
