To some used has a bad connotation, but when it comes to fashion used can be a great thing! Just this past weekend I was shopping, and came across some second hand items in a store that was not second hand. I purchased a bag and my mom purchased a scarf. Both items are in great condition, and if the shop owner had not told me that they were used I never would have known. Basically, second hand items are the best kept fashion secret.
From
Prescilla's blog I found a post that fit perfectly into mine, "A new perspective on the quote 'one mans trash is another man's treasure' with Yuken Teruya." Basically Teruya is an artist who uses items that most people would assume to be trash. She uses these items to make beautiful pieces of art. Clothes and accessories are just the same, at some point everyone has to get rid of old stuff, and you have the ability to reap the benefits from someone else's "trash."

Some places to find second hand items are, of course,
goodwill, usually there is a goodwill store near any town. In San Francisco just go to the Haight, they have many shops, some costume, and some just general wear. Also, there is another chain of second hand shops called
Discovery Shop. There are many second hand shops out there. The hard part is picking through all the stuff and finding your treasure.
If you know of any great second hand shops please let me know!
