I get everything except underwear from charity shops and friends who are clearing out their wardrobes. And now I'm glad- while whatever I have may originally have been from a slave-labour brand, when I purchase it I put money towards a worthy cause instead.

I'm actually a bit paranoid of buying used shoes. I got a pair a very nice ankle boots that were brand new from a thrift store, but despite the fact that they were never worn, I used almost an entire bottle of disinfectant on them. They still have that lovely hospital scent to them.
