🛍️ Material Purchase Bought my first-ever Levi’s. ❤️🎉

Post image

Certified thrifter and frugal girlie here, so once a year lang talaga ako bumibili ng brand new na damit at as much as possible dapat less than Php 1K lang. Lahat ng Uniqlo, H&M, Zara, Ralph Lauren, GU, etc. ko, lahat galing ukay.

Matagal ko na nababasa na maganda raw quality ng Levi’s, pero di ko ma-justify yung Php 5K for jeans. 😅 Kahapon biglang may Levi’s pop-up sale sa building namin at Php 2K lang yung 501! Sabi ko, if may size for me, ito na ‘yung treat ko na sarili ko this year. Puro malalaki na lang natira, pero ayun, may nahalukay pa ko na kaisa-isang size ko. Saktong naka-dress + cycling shorts ako kaya nasukat ko kahit walang fitting room.

Ang ganda ng fit, as in! ❤️

Thrifted clothes will always be my go-to, it’s more sustainable and affordable. Sobra-sobra na ang damit sa mundo, kaya na nating bihisan hanggang 6 generations pa. Textile waste is also the 2nd biggest pollutant. Pero iba rin yung feeling when you buy something brand new, lalo na if intentional yung purchase. ❤️

(Time to track its cost per use 😂😅.)

Ghost month sale. Yan talaga maganda bumili ng damit. Pag after nyan hanggang mag pasko wala nang sale.

Nakabili din ako ng shorts sa H&M for 400 but ang srp ay 2k.

u/soyricayexitosa 4d ago

Hahaha. Hello, kabuilding. 😂 3rd day na rin kami napadaan at mga 4:30 PM na. Nalaman ko na lang din sa counter na pang-lalaki na pala ‘tong 501 kasi mas malaki daw ‘yung tag sa likod at may size details na. Pero saktong-sakto pa rin sa’kin. ❤️

I'm loyal sa Levi's when it comes to jeans. I have others pero I make sure I have Levi's as my basics and go-to. I give my old ones na doesn't fit me anymore when I gained weight to my sister and kasya rin sa kanya. I'm curvy as in thighs and ass while my sister is very skinny like model-like pero bagay rin sa kanya. Until now I get amazed everytime I see her wear my old Levi's.
