I generally dislike Manila Ukays because they're just old shirts and bad bad jeans. These people who own these ukay-ukays have already filtered out the interesting pieces and left us with the boring shirts that are better off new and store-bought.
Anyway, so we went in and I started looking around and I spot this checkered "lumberjack" Giordano top. I've been looking around for one that doesn't scream "tree logging" and this was it. It was hanging in the '3 for 100' rack. Oh joy.
My mum points me to these pink suede platforms that scream adorable and "sucks to have big feet". They were a size to small for my mum so we let it go. It was only 150 so not bad no?
So while I was looking around I spotted this mod dress and I ask for the price.
50 pesos not as cheap as Baguio but it's not as bad as the other ukays who charge 75 pesos for a top with foundation stains. So I grabbed it and decided that this Ukay had promise.
I was looking at the trouser rack and spotted this:
These pants!! They are made of slightly skinny and the most glorious color: purple. They fit just right and the price? 60 pesos. just raised the ukay's level from 'has promise' to 'must visit every pay day'. Amazing amazing.
While my head was swimming in the glorious find, I remembered the Giordano top and grabbed it. I also found a green mini-polka dot top that's made of fake thread but would be lovely piece to layer :3
All in all this is what I call a good haul :D
