A friend who is a regular thrift-shop goer can attest to the affordability of summer clothes at pre-loved stores near their place. You can purchase a halter blouse and short or skirt for kids at $1 (P41) per pair. The clothes are overrun supply from local and international manufacturers. The ukay stores are open at a certain time of day.

My friend said there are varieties of clothes to choose from, one has to be patient and creative in choosing an outfit to mix and match. Ukay shops carry summer getup for both adult and kids all year round. So, now you know where to look for affordable summer clothes.

Light clothes are advisable to ward off the summer heat. I would love to see myself in a new summer dress while relaxing on rustic chair under our mango tree. Ah, summer!
