Arriving on Thursday.. need to find cheap winter clothes

[Heather02]

Hello everyone, thanks for adding me to this forum :) my name's Heather and I'm from Los Angeles, CA.

I'll be staying in Guanajuato City for a volunteer job for six weeks (till the end of the year, basically), starting on Thursday the 22nd. I'm arriving from the Yucatan (where I also volunteered and it's very hot), so all I have are sweat pants, tank tops, and shorts. And a light hoodie. And a windbreaker.

Um, yikes! I have a feeling I'm going to be very cold there. I haven't experienced actual winter weather in years. I don't have a lot of money (as I'm a volunteer), but I've managed to squeeze a few pesos out of my very tight budget to buy some winter clothes once I arrive.

Where is the best place to buy cheap or used winter clothes? I'm a tall woman (5' 10" or 178cm), and not fussy about my appearance so buying men's clothes is fine. I'm looking for low price, fit, and comfort (not fashion). Definitely need warmer pants and a warm jacket at the very least. And some long underwear that I can layer with the tank tops/t-shirts that I already have.

I'll be staying near El Pípila, Zona Centro https://goo.gl/maps/xQrWMhXAdht

Any store near there that sells cheap clothes? And I mean CHEAP. If they keep me warm for a couple months I don't care about quality for fashion.

Also if any of you have stuff you'd like to donate my way, I'd accept it happily. Men's or women's clothes, doesn't matter to me :)

Thanks for your time, and I hope to meet some of you when I arrive :)

All the best,
Heather

P.S. If you're at all curious about me, here's my very ugly website - shows my resume and teaching videos (although I won't be doing formal teaching in Guanajuato). Also feel free to add me on Facebook, my profile is public.

Greetings and welcome!

We have a used American clothing store in Guanajuato if you'd like to see if we have something that would work for you. The store is "California Fashion" and is located at Entrada a Las Teresas #8 in Guanajuato. Enjoy your visit.

Lots of used clothing on the 2nd floor of Mercado Embajadoras, and new, cheap, clothes in the outdoor stands there on weekends.
Also in the small shops on Sangre de Cristo street, not best quality, but cheap, a variety of prices, some new, used, and discontinued clothes.
