Money for old clothes? Buy and sell through Carousell in Singapore, Asia, Australia or Ebay, Etsy, Vinted (Europe and Americas) and many more in the UK, USA and worldwide Post 537

In Singapore a good place for selling and buying second hand clothes is refash. I have found them good for buying second hand clothes. I used two branches. One is in Changi Point, near the Expo MRT, one stop from Changi Airport. Another place is Carousell. If you are puzzling over the spelling, the usual spelling of the word carousel, which the British call a roundabout, is carousel, but the company name word ends Sell, with a double ll, as in buying and selling. Wiki explains Carousell logo Carousell  is a  Singaporean   smartphone  and web-based  consumer to consumer  and  business to consumer  marketplace for buying and selling new and secondhand goods. Headquartered in Singapore, it also operates in Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, [1]  Cambodia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, [2]  Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

They have more adjustment, more for walking.  However, I chose this pair instead. The single bar covers more of your feet to protect them from cancerous suns rays by day.  This style, being semi-closed looks more swish and evening-y...

Dress of the day 254. Going grunge. Upcycling. Convert a girl's embroidered, embellished denim trousers into a woman's skirt.

  Angela going grunge. Photo by Trevor Sharot. The magic of this outfit is the converted too small jeans. The top is the easy bit. If you have a small jacket, just leave it undone. And/or enlarge the sleeve holes. Or slit it down the sides and wear it as a tabard. To hold it in place, my favourite easy adjustment, add two ribbons. All you do is sew on two small pieces of ribbon. Buy ribbons cheaply from a cut price store. Or borrow the rope or fabric handles from paper tote bags which you and other people throw out. The Top Alice Fashion Shop VIP  The label says NTS 400. Pockets It has two small pockets. They do not do up securely. Large enough for a paper hanky or key. Buttons The pockets are both decorated with one button which says JEANS, in capital letters, rivetted on.

I had not noticed the epaule...
