Hi guys! You all know how much I love Thrift shopping. 70% of my outfits are always ukay (cause you know I'm so kuripot) unless I find a very lovely dress from a retail brand (which I did at Ensembles and Forever 21 a couple of days ago) that I cannot resist. Since I'm going to Korea on thursday (as a company incentive trip) I had to shop for winter clothes as we were advised that the weather will range from 0 to 10 deg on that country. I already bought a couple (coat from surplus shop and leather skirt at Forever 21) I am still not satisfied with my clothes. So, I went to my favorite Ukay-ukay here at Roosevelt / Congressional to shop for my winter attire.
Which, I took the opportunity to share with you how I ukay ukay my clothes.
Before you find or decide to ukay, set first your goal. Why do you need to shop? What kinds of clothes you need to find? In my case, I had to find winter outfits.
When you're done and ready to pay
I cannot believe that I got everything for only P530! I remember buying one coat for 1k at retail brands which made me regret it after buying so many items half its cost. However; I enjoyed my ukay shopping cause it took me less than an hour to find l the things I need because I went there with a goal and a specified budget on mind.
Hope you learned from this post. Shall post ukay stuff soon!
Much Love,
The Bargain Doll

Wow! Great finds plus you get to save more! Ukay ukay shopping is a fun too :)
My mommy friends at school are ukay addicts, and just recently I discovered why! I went to the ukay with them the other day and I managed to find a UNIQLO tee and an Esprit shirt with their tag prices still intact! :)
It's been a while since my last ukay! The last time I went to an ukay store, I found a scarf printed top for only P35. Super! :)
Ukay is LOVE. :D
pg umuuwi aq ng pinas super hoard aq sa ukay ukay kc yung cheap clothes dito mg mura prin pinas tlg grabe! xx
Good buys! I used to go ukay stores before somewhere in Anonas Project3. There's a building there with 4floors - all ukay shops! :)
Weee! I'm an ukay girl as well. I remember I bought this 86 pesos sweat polo then I went tom megamall and saw the same thing at department store (Candies) which cost around 1.8k :) I was so happy when I saw that.. I even bought a printed leggings worth 50 pesos last september and now they're "in" haha.. what a great steal :) I want to see more ukay finds from you share me the link everytime you have new one ah I'm happy to see it. :)
Now this is the foremost thing I miss in the Philippines. Ukay fashion is so fabulous yet so inexpensive!! But like you, i always go for the 3 for 100 items and maybe some leather or carry all bags too.
Nice white Jessica coat!

I should really start visiting more ukays. Maybe this summer, when I'm not so busy! :)
still haven't jumped in to the idea of thrift shopping >.< idk why, di pa siguro sanay :p
Great post Rovie! =) And I do find great pieces from the "3 for 100" rack =)
This post reminds me to visit ukay stores again. I love ukays too.

I have never tried shopping in an ukay2 store. But I'm also "kuripot" so I would like to visit one of these stores someday.
I love ukay-ing! Some pieces don't look like ukay at all! Plus the price is really good :)

do you know of any other good ukay ukay stores near mandaluyong or makati? i love you blog!
I really want to try ukay shopping. I do buy at surplus shops but never tried ukay. I actually visit a few before near my old office and I was overwhelmed though I really looked on the racks and didn't find what I wanted. Good thing I read this post at least now I know the 'how-to' when it comes to ukay. I will definitely give it a try and visit a few more! :)
