Todd: Hey, Marion, I like you outfit1. Nice jeans and T-shirt.
 
Marion: Oh, thank you.
 
Todd: Where did you get it?
 
Marion: Actually, my T-shirt is a hand-me-down from a friend of mine who's leaving so she gave me some of her clothes.
 
Todd: Oh, really. Ah, OK. See, that's cool, like if I know the person who wore the shirt before, I'll wear it, but I will never go to a second hand clothing store or a used clothing store (Really) I think that's disgusting.
 
Marion: Why?
 
Todd: Well, I mean, you don't know who wore it before.
 
Marion: But they're washed, Todd. You know!
 
Todd: Yeah, but, OK, first of all, what if the person who wore it was just the type or person you really hated. There's something about the person that you just really didn't like, and then, now you're wearing that person's clothes. Doesn't that disgust2 you?
 
Marion: No, do think a person's personality rubs3 off on their clothes (No, but) and then it survives the wash cycle in your washing machine?
 
Todd: OK. Right. Right. I see what you're saying, but I'll put it to you this way. Imagine that you work with somebody.
 
Marion: Yes.
 
Todd: Ok, at your job, is there somebody that you don't like.
 
Marion: Yes.
 
Todd: OK, now imagine that there's a clothing bin4 and people can put clothes in there and you see a shirt and you like it, and you're just about to take it and someone says, that's that persons shirt. Would you still take it?
 
Marion: Mm, I probably wouldn't.
 
Todd: Right. See. See.
 
Marion: Yeah, but only because I wouldn't want to feel like that person had done me a favor in some way. (Right) I wouldn't want to be beholden to that person if I don't like them.
 
Todd: Right. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I guess it's good to have second hand clothes if people don't have anything, you know for charity and things like that.
 
Marion: Yeah. Well, actually, when I was in college, I didn't have very much money, so the only clothes I could buy were second-hand5 clothes so I actually really got to like going around the charity shops and finding6 clothes that I really liked, so nothing that was following the trends of the moment, but in college that really doesn't matter. I think it's better to wear something if you feel comfortable in, and I think there's a real sense of achievement when you find something that you've wanted for God-knows-how-long, for example, I found a brown suede7 jacket one time in a charity shop, and I thought, "Oh, my God. This is exactly the type of suede jacket that I have been longing8 for", but I could never afford that jacket at full-price, even at half-price in a normal shop. I could never have had it, so actually most of my wardrobe at home is second hand clothes I would say, and I love it. I will go to a second hand clothes shop before a normal clothes shop any day. It's so much more fun.
 
Todd: Well, that's very interesting. You have fun shopping at those stores
 
Marion: I will.
