I love fashion but most of the shit I want I can't afford. Even a simple north face vest costs about 100 quid, nevermind stuff like final home, dior, issey etc. I love archive but it's honestly out of my budget and I'd have to save up a week or two to buy one piece of clothing that I like.
What are some good outlets to buy cheap stuff? Sometimes I find steals on yahoo auctions or mercari.jp, most of the shit on grailed is close to retail and I hate fast fashion. How do you guys save money when buying clothes?

Buy second hand.

>> No.15402143,1 [INTERNAL] 

£100 is relatively cheap for a outer shell type jacket, second hand can bring prices down, final home and issey aren't too bad, i own a couple survival jackets and i paid no more than £150 for each of them, its all about trawling auction sites really, the more time you invest the more deals you'll stumble upon

Ebay for deadstock brand name. It's all sold by boomers who have no idea how valueable 30 year old adidas sneakers or polo jackets are so the prices are dirt cheap. On poshmark and mercari basic shit like vintage higher quality monocolored shirts and sweaters ususally range from 5-20 bucks. For high fahsion designer stuff you really do just have to bite the bullet and cope with grailed's overinflated prices because you wont find yves or helmut lang and the like on mercai or ebay or any of the lower end apps. OP the reality is if you don't have the money you won't be getting access to high fashion. Focus on style and colors more than brand and maybe get into the more normie labels like tommy hilfiger, polo, cdg play ect. Sure you can save up shitloads of money to buy one $500 shirt on grailed but still 99% of your wardrobe won't be high fashion unless you're rich.

How do boomers find free time to sell clothes for cheap?

Ignore “muh thrift” as judging by the use of quid, you’re from the UK too, and do ebay instead like that other guy said. Lots of ralph lauren and other brands from the 90s/00’s gets put on ebay by boomers or people who just don’t care too much. Just don’t go in to it expecting any expensive artsy stuff like issey miyake like you mentioned.

And also, keep an eye out for anything with “jeans” in the brands name on the tags or wherever, that means it’s a diffusion line, and there were a lot of those at the time, all were complete shit, as was any mens clothing from YSL

Thrifting is good, also, ebay and co. are a good market for cheap/expensive-but-sold-by-retards-at-low-prices clothes

Our mouths are full of bacteria. Hundreds of different types live on our teeth, gums, tongue and other places in our mouths. Some bacteria are helpful. But some can be harmful such as those that play a role in the tooth decay process. Tooth decay is the result of an infection with certain types of bacteria that use sugars in food to make acids. Over time, these acids can make a cavity in the tooth.
