And I am a girl.
I don't mind buying things at garage sales or at the local resale shop. I have gotten nice jeans there that fit well and last. I have gotten shorts there in the summer that look nice, too. For some reason, I can't see paying thirty dollars or more for a pair of summer shorts.
But growing up, my mother taught me that shoes should never be handed down. We all have our own way of wearing and wearing out shoes, it seems. It is unhealthy for feet, or so I'm told, to try to fit someone else's mold. The very idea of putting someone else's shoes on my feet is yuck, yuck, yuck.
I dunno if any of that is true, but, I would not buy used underwear, either. Even if I washed it a hundred times, it would not be mine. I guess things like jeans and t-shirts are outerwear that can be washed and re-used.
I buy stuff at resale because I want to. Maybe if I was desperately poor, used shoes and underwear would not sound so bad.
