the entry flea by day, fly by night.

i had amassed a huge amount of clothes after schlepping up articles of apparels from one too many impulse buying. eventually, i decided to rent a stall in pseudo flea market milieu and hawk my clothes with jeremy, who had an equally bulging closet.

first things first: we trudged down to ikea to snag some aesthetitically appealing chattels and, being endowed with a finite amount of good taste, one of them being able to source for the likes of furniture, i took front stage. we got ourselves a couple items to display our wares, and nursed our stomaches with some economical freshly-blanched frankfurters at the same time.

setting up stall is crazy tiring. we dragged, heaved, lifted, employed every possible permutation of moving the huge wad of clothes from one point to another in the least amount of time; we had to be present at the stall on time. it was sorry-ass tedious. our stall looked promising enough though. proof:



some of the brands we hawked: ice cream, anything, trainerspotter, etc.


more offerings from stussy and the hundreds.



i must say, even i was impressed with the entire setup.


guess who i am?


it's our dearest sherlyn!



the following day began promisingly enough: we sold our most expensive item, a pair of dsquared high-cut kicks. and with helpers duncan and felix to help us out (thanks guys!), we ended with quite a handsome sum of profit from the two-day sales. nevertheless, nothing beats the fun of selling our clothes whilst having a great time with friends.

after that was over, i made way to meet gabriel to collect some puma items (more sponsored gifts!) and free-doodled my version of a masterpiece that best represented what i thought of puma for their campaign. creativity, apparently, isn't my forte.




felix and duncan put their best foot forward


we've got some good-looking customers as well.


although not obvious, i drew a huge palm and plastered my hand over it.
did i mention creativity isn't in my blood?


new kicks from puma


happy with the purchase and all.


calling it a night with some drinks with duncan and gang.

it is always a great idea to sell your extra clothes. of course, the process for the preparation is fun too.

base on your buying power, maybe u can consider to do it twice a year and clear your extra clothes. ^o^
