ReplyDeleteI love ukay-ukay coz it's cheap. But I seldomly go to ukay-ukay because I don't have patience looking for dresses that fits me well.....
ReplyDeleteI'm also into ukay-ukay, armed with patience and prepared with anti-allergy meds when I get into that. Best place to go to is Baguio City, near Session Road's Jollibee. Kind of pricey sometimes because of the quality. But if you want to get a bargain for 25 each, try Kayang at the Baguio market, just ask around :)
